You got fired, and you still hang around here like a big loser. Why can't he?

Yes, darling Shir, yes they are.

I just read it in Gollum's voice.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

So, just IMed with B, my long distance crush. He is moving to Cleveland! Boo! He doesn't want to, just needs a job. So I have two weeks to find him something in NOLA. This also means that he won't be able to join me for the Katrinaversary, as he'll be moving then. However, if Erin has her wedding celebration and I get out there for it, he may come back to be my date anyway. So, kind of yay?

Always Anti-fascist!

Dude, I so feel you on that. (Which might or might not be connected to the previous gropefest...I'll neither confirm nor deny.) Also, Emma Watson got a new short haircut and now she's hot. I must have missed some HPs because I was not prepared.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

You didn't even get a CARD, Teppy?

Oh, god no. I think they're too Christian to think that his mother's death "counts" as a grief-y thing for me, since after all we aren't married. One woman even said it must be hard for me to be "on the outside" during all this. So why would I be upset about Tim's mom dying? I don't have the decency to get married, so I must not have the decency to care about his mom.

[Note: I am making inferences in the last 2 sentences. However, one co-worker did actually make the "on the outside" comment, with a straight face.]

My mom said, "I don't care that you aren't married; she was your mother-in-law." Mom's actually the first one to say that, and it made me feel better, acknowledging the enormity of this loss.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

must be hard for me to be "on the outside" during all this.

"Oh no, I was in the living room. Why would I be outside?"

Our wings are not tired.

I'm so sorry that you have to deal with stupidity on top of grief.

What is even happening?

My mom said, "I don't care that you aren't married; she was your mother-in-law." Mom's actually the first one to say that, and it made me feel better, acknowledging the enormity of this loss.

Your mom is right. And you can call her your "MIL" for mother-in-love.

oh, I'm so sorry that I didn't actually say that. Honestly, that's the way I've been thinking of what you're going through. I know that I'm not the only one who knows how huge that this has been for you.
