Oh, man, Mary Travers of Peter, Paul, and Mary died. Damnit.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
By relocating ourselves, we shake loose the shackles of expectation. Adrift in a different place we give ourselves permission to be different people.
My last therapist warned me solemnly that changing my location wouldn't change *me*. And indeed, moving out of NJ hasn't cured my chronic depression or made me less likely to hide in my house, but I am happier here, for a lot of reasons.
I don't want to be a different person, anyway. I want to be the whole me, again.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Oh dear god, allyson!!
Tell him "Gee, why do you ask? Wait! I know!! It's because you're such a pencil-dicked douchnozzle that a woman would have to be a pseudocorpse for you to feel secure enough to get some wood."
Ugh. But I mety bf on OKC. People there aren't all troglydytes.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I just browsed through OK Cupid. Man, the guys in LA are wordy and existentially angsty. I just messaged a guy who filters out women over 38 (his age). I felt ornery. He views my profile, but he hasn't replied to me yet. My profile is very brief compared to everyone else's.

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
Half of what I get is abusive about my weight. It's really weird.

My current conversation is about my migraines (it's kinda my handle) and cutting out citric acid to see if that has an effect. That's the sort of conversing I do. I'm a real babe, sex magnet.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
The main thing that keeps me from listing myself on OKCupid or some such is not being able to think of what to write in my profile. I cannot describe myself without stepping back and thinking, well, I wouldn't date me...

Men can be REALLY ANGRY about weight. Like, they're offended I exist. I have no idea how to respond. I think to myself, "I've written two books. One is published. I've had characters named after me on television shows. I've had lunch with a physics Nobel, and hang out with some of the finest scientists in the US. I've raised over 100K for various charities in the last ten years....and really, you wish I didn't exist because I wear size 14 jeans. What the fuck have YOU done with your life?"
WTF is that?
