I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm skeptical about the sandwich I just had for lunch, and am avoiding some projects that really need to get done.

If you got it from Tino's then you should be.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am at home waiting for Staples to deliver some bookcases. I want them NOW. I also never want to go to work again.

I'm afraid Tino may have been involved, although it was not purchased at his establishment.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I was so psyched that I had decided on Chinese for lunch, and then very disappointed by the actual lunch.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

then very disappointed by the actual lunch.

I hate when that happens! There should be a word for it.

This is extremely cool: Moray eels have a second set of jaws that shoot out, like in Alien.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Is there any polite way to tell your boss "You probably should have asked me before you sent that complaint to [partner here](eta: without PH asking for it), because [partner here] has had that complaint since Thursday night, is already working on it, and kind of doesn't like random emails."
