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

That's sad about Mary.

They're sticking Kanye into every damned thing.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

People are amazingly ragey and asshatty. And they can't accept that anyone other than their vision is real.

Today, K was driving and at a red light. She was turning right. The asshole behind her had his window down and was yelling invective and abuse about her not turning (in spite of the pedestrian in the cross walk). When the light turned green, she turned right. He swerved out in front of her, slammed on his breaks to block her and got out of his car to confront her. She took his picture with her blackberry, which inflamed him more. And the whole time, she wanted to be like, WTF is your problem? (she was also tempted to get out of the car and krav him. This is why krav is no good for her).

What is WRONG with people?

But she didn't krav him! So it's good! How are her classes going? God, I miss teaching.

So, what IS that atom on Allyson's neck?

Ugh. I'm glad the dykes on OKCupid aren't assholes. They're just kind of a pathetic lot...(I mean, the ones that email me tend to be me going "...er, no I really don't feel any desire to write back and don't understand why you wrote in the first place, though it is mostly coherent, it doesn't show you read what I'm into at all...").

And I just went on and looked all over...and the only person I was interested in emailing lived in Mesa, Arizona. Sigh.

A lithium atom.

ita, she didn't krav him this time. She did krav someone at hockey, though. It ended with a 40-year-old guy on the ice crying.

She likes level 2, but misses morning classes. The truth is, it's hard for either of us to do anything at night. Which reminds me, I should go yogaglo.

I'm sorry I missed that. Nobody should mess with her, and now they're going to pay.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Craziness. And scary!

We have less confrontation here in the boonies. Like, we just got a speeding ticket, and it was all entirely without seeing or speaking to anyone. Handy.

But we knew it was coming, because we saw the camera flash as we went by. But it's stupid! It's 35 there because there was a development going in. But the development failed and no one actually lives there! So it's a 35 mph speed limit in the middle of a totally empty highway. Which we knew, yes, and we were speeding, yes, so we'll pay. But sheesh.

Thank you, ita, Hubby was peering at it and going "I know that atom. To the periodic table!"
