So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Not when it's pronounced "learnt". Just like "aluminium" is pronounced "aluminium" no matter what people try and tell me.

It's spelled aluminum here.

Which I didn't know until I was well into my 20s, as Gram always said aluminium, so that's how I wrote it out.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

Someone remind me of Cash's people are awesome story. 'Cause I just got a message from a friend that a puppy needs a home-he was found on the side of the road with his legs taped together and his mouth taped shut. I can't be getting watery eyed 5 min. before leaving.

Now that I'm trying to be an adult about my finances and finally have my paperwork under control, I have a 401(k) that I need to rollover. It's only been, er, over a year.

I've never done this before. All the forms and instructions and investment elections are making my brain hurt.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

shrift, Kristin recommended this book to me a while ago. There is, of course, a newer version. She also recommended this one. I haven't made as much use of them as I ought to, but they are pretty good resources.

Jesus, Daisy. I wish you were closer because I've been getting the urge recently. I think I may try to hold out until spring though.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Good Lord that is awful, Daisy. Reminds me of the way my co-worker found his Chihuahua. He was parked at a store and happened to notice a small box behind his truck when he returned to it. He opened it to find a baby Chihuahua. Some evil fuck put it behind his tire with the assumption that it would get run over when the truck backed out of the spot. Happy ending, though, as co-worker loves his little pup.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

It's spelled aluminum here.

Cheque is spelt check here, apparently. Doesn't stop everyone.

Oh fucking hell, Glam. Sometimes I hate this world.

Thanks, P-C. Somehow I made it out of my 20s alive, so I guess I'd better learn how to do this crap.

And it looks like there are a few used copies of that older version for four bucks, fulfilled by Amazon, so you can just pop it on if you're buying anything else and get ever closer to Super Saver Shipping.

If you need it right away, I can get it for you in two days with Prime.
