Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

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.

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

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame
I'm ok, for the most part. Just exhausted. With all the other stuff that has changed over the last year, we had put this paperwork on the back burner. Now we are officially closing the book on that part of my life.
I chose this and STBX (gonna have to come up with something else to call him) has been MUCH better about it than I ever anticipated. I just wish my mom was here to see that I finally followed-through.

Always Anti-fascist!
If I could be Majority Leader for one day, I'd find something that "Suits his unique talents" like the Caribou Awareness Commitee. I'm stoked about Harkin chairing HELP, though...he's the best ally in Congress that the disability-rights movement has...not fiery or anything, but absolutely unfailing(I believe his brother is a crip) I give him points for that, because despite all the Palin-mania on the subject, it's usually not sexy.

Nice!
Suzi, may the next volume of your life be filled with 99.999% pure joy, after the last few years.
Re: writers with AS, I haven't read that author's books, but one of the best fic writers I've read was diagnosed with it a few years ago. Figuring out emotional nuance from RL input may be frustrating and difficult for her, but she's got writing about it down pat. Probably because she *has* to think about it so much. (My research indicates that women on spectrum who are high-functioning are frequently missed in diagnoses because they present differently and are, for various reasons, better at effectively faking normal.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, Erika!

I've never watched Bones--is she an alcoholic on the show?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
She used to not understand why people indulged in alcohol, but now she does shots.
I wouldn't have thought someone who couldn't fake normal interaction in person (and had such contempt for it) could or would fake it on the page, but there you go.

The employees at Tesco seem to be immune to mind tricks, and have kicked out the founder of the International Church of Jediism. Daniel Jones, 23, who founded the religion based on the Star Wars movies, was asked to leave because his robes were against store rules which forbid the wearing of 'hoodies' in their premises. "I told them it was a requirement of my religion but they just sniggered and ordered me to leave," he told The Daily Telegraph newspaper. "I walked past a Muslim lady in a veil. Surely the same rules should apply to everyone." It's exactly this kind of stuff that turns young Jedi's to the dark side.
