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

shouldn't last longer than 72 hours

Julie, I can tell you that migraines can easily last longer than 72 hours. But don't take mine or the web's word for it. Find your doc.

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

This afternoon's clusterfuck is an ongoing one too. They are extra special.

To me, row houses make more sense than the developments where there are large houses that are about eight feet apart.

An extrovert has been coming out. It started on the trip (folk from there didn't know I was an introvert. Standing offer to take her out and drown her in the nearest ocean should she surface exists) and is just getting bolder.

It's freaky. Still want my time and space, but find myself seeking out the peoples. A LOT of my friends and coworkers have noticed. Getting a lot of attention and liking it. I'm torn between crawling back under my rock and reveling in it.

I'll always still be the quiet sort, but this is... different. I'm more confident and carry self as such. I wonder if it'll last?

“Not dead yet!”

Avoid Renton and Kent. Oh, and Tukwila. The South End is where we keep the Hellmouth.

Burien is also generally to be avoided, with the exception of parts of Seahurst, Shorewood, and Three Tree Point.

::SNORT:: You know I'm going to be quizzing you on this.

Hellmouth. Heh. SH did say something upthread about the south being more blue collar/conservative. Funny how so many cities are like that. In Cleveland, the East Side was the artsy, liberal, intellectual side, across the Cuyahoga, it got very blue collar, families who'd come over on the boat a hundred years before.

In Jacksonville, well... all of it's sort of conservative, but the north side and the west side are definitely of the more blue collar variety. East and south are all the beach and golf communities.

information libertarian

My next door neighbor is going to run for mayor. He has a good chance of winning, too, I think. He very nicely hits the sweet spot (for this town) of being both a lefty and a good ol' boy. I also think he'd do a pretty good job.

Boy small cities are weird.

Plei is not wrong about this.

If you end up wanting info on Shoreline, let me know. I grew up there (when it was still just North Seattle), and the Parents O' Reason still live there.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm more confident and carry self as such. I wonder if it'll last?

Do it!

I'd like to! It's a crapshoot. A little ongoing external encouragement hasn't gone amiss, fer sure. We'll see.

Electromagnetic candy! - Stark

I lived in Renton for years. It's not BAD, as long as you don't leave your house.

And me being gay? Something I toned WAAAAY down when out and about. Not. Done. There.

I live in the city. I walk to the center of downtown Seattle, that's how close I live. I won't move south of Capitol Hill/Beacon Hill (and that's starting to get dodgy) or West Seattle (but not White Center, Georgetown, or Burien - EW BURIEN AIRPORT LOUD)

I'm a hedonist. I expect to step off my front porch and smell the coffeeshop within walking distance, thanks. AND I expect not to be shot at while walking there.
