I was warned by my boss not to become too enraged about this, "or you'll be dead by 40". I pointed out I'm 41.
"See? I was right."
You turned evil a lot faster than I thought you would.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
OMG, she's just like the crazy parent we dealt with this summer. Seriously. The approach and the logic (such as it is) and the refusal to hear anything she doesn't agree with is exactly the same. I wonder if there's a club.

Ann, that's a ferret.
I wonder if there's a club.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Lack of sleep just makes everything so much worse.
Truth.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh msbelle, I so know what you mean. I find liberal application of coffee and/or chocolate does wonders for my mood when I'm sleep deprived.
I find the birther mentality fascinating. It's as if all the fantasy mechanisms needed to convince themselves that the 8 years of Bush's presidency were a great improvement over the 8 years of Clinton's have broken free from all but the most tangential connection to reality so that any random factoid can be inserted into it and out comes a new conspiracy theory. Either that or they are lying through their teeth for perceived political gain.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm about to get on a plane! I'm going to Vividcon!

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

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. It shows how living in the non-reality-based community results in you drifting further and further from reality as time goes by.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
The birthers seriously depress me. The amount of mental gymnastics that they go through to try to rationalize their racism is appalling.
