It's very cool, Allyson.
God, I want more ink so much. I have it all planned, too. Where's the goddamn tattoo fairy when you need him?
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I went on a rec from a friend, who got a tiny piece of her mother's writing tattooed on her arm (I love you more...). Her mom is dying of cancer, and the artist refused to charge her for it, since he lost his own mom after a long battle with cancer.
Awww....

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.
Allyson, that's a great tattoo!

I KNOW. I really need to crack the whip on that artist I have around here and get him to finish the next batch of designs.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Actual email from asshat on OKCupid:
do you tend to be submissive in bed? most fat girls are.
My self-esteem remains intact.

OK, so I'm reading Geography of Bliss which is particularly resonant of late. Cause I'm startled by the happy (two days morose is fading) and poking at it like a new discovery. Anyway, so many pages are bookmarked. Have to share a tidbit :
Change your location and you just may change yourself. It's not that distant lands contain some special "energy" or that their inhabitants possess secret knowledge (though they may) but rather something more fundamental: By relocating ourselves, we shake loose the shackles of expectation. Adrift in a different place we give ourselves permission to be different people.
Um, can I say hallelujah? Been changing places for 6 months, and oh yeah, I done do that.
(For the record, book is very irreverent, quote notwithstanding.)

That book looks excellent, sara.

Oh my god. I would be so tempted to show up at his door with a bullwhip.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Is it wrong to reply, "do you tend to be stupid in real life? Most douchebags are."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You've just reminded me that I have a lot of OK Cupid mail to reply to. I'm sure all the guys have had time to find their perfect matches and get married since we last chatted. I'm so bad with that shit.

(but I'm not so happy I'd try dating. Oy. I'll stick to expensive trips and ill advised whatevers. Shutting up now. Really, sara.)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I like Cashmere's reply!
FWIW, AA calls changing your location in the hopes of changing yourself a 'geographic cure' and don't think that it works, at least for abuse issues.
