And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2009: So long and thanks for all the fish.  

Every year we watch the Charlie Brown special, do the Snoopy dance, wish everybody a Merry Christmukkah, and thank our Secret Santas in the good riddance thread. Which is this one, in case you were wondering. Oh, and 2009? Don't think we've forgotten about you

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Thanks, y'all! I'm so, so happy. And slightly daunted at the prospect of planning a wedding, but mostly just very, very happy.

I'll share a picture of the ring when I manage to take a good one, but it was my grandmother's engagement ring, and it's very simple and beautiful.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

How wonderful, Kate!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Kate, that is so wonderful! Can't wait to meet the lucky boy. We must f2f in Asheville this year.

Love the Istanbul pictures. I so want to go back to Turkey.

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

Amazing, Kate! Congrats!
