I wanted to be Nimue or Morgan Le Fay. They seemed to have more interesting lives than princesses, but they also could have pretty dresses, if they wanted.
Yeah. He's my hero.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
I wanted to be the village wise-woman - I would gather up various types of weeds and let them dry in the metal garden shed behind our garage, and pretend they were medicine.

Oh, and did I mention that I was vomiting this morning, and forced myself to go into school anyway, because he'd said that he'd have read this paper by today, and I planned to get his comments today, edit tomorrow, and then get it up on arxiv, because I really need to get this up on arxiv before I send in my job applications?
Also, I emailed him the latest revision last Thursday. A few hours later, I sent him another email that mentioned that attachment in the first one. He somehow accidentally deleted the first one, saw that the second one referred to an attachment that he didn't have, and then waited until today, a week later, to ask me about it.

I just called in sick for tomorrow. The fever is slowly creeping out of the low-grade range and into the moderate range, and I don't think that's very cold-like.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
I'm sorry, Hil.
Ugh, I just got off the phone with my great aunt and she has breast cancer.

ION, I made Scrappy's chicken recipe and it was delicious, as advertised. I need to get off my ass and brown up the seven-bone roast for the pot roast tomorrow.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Either I messed it up or I don't like yorkshire pudding. I'm inclined to believe the former.

More Matilda talk tonight. She's been on a streak.
1.
Matilda: The moon is following us. We have to get it a costume for Halloween. It wants to come with us. It'll be a pirate and say, "Aaargh."
2. (on seeing a Barack Obama poster in somebody's window)
Matilda: Barack Obama!
Me: Did you see him?
Matilda: He's in the window.
Me: Okay. Oh, I see. It's a poster.
Matilda: I have to talk to Barack Obama.
Me: What do you have to talk about with Barack Obama?
Matilda: I didn't like the pink ice cream.
Emmett: Matilda, do you know what Barack Obama does?
Matilda:
[very solemnly]
He's going to do great things.

Oh, also, we were discussing whether a particular sentence should use the word "which" or "that." He asked me if I could articulate (and yes, he said "articulate") what the difference was between "which" and "that." I told him, and he told me that I had it backwards. I looked it up, and I was right. Really, do not cross me on grammar.
