This is really weird, but I really feel like I knew his daughter at some point in my life, but her wikipedia page gives no clue to where our paths would have crossed. If I was going to have an imaginary friend, why on earth would it be Jamila Wideman??
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Please let the traffic not be fucked again tonight. I just want to get to the pool early. It's not too much to ask, right?

Our wings are not tired.
So Allyson, does that mean you're going with Lulu for Sam?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I feel like awesomecake with awesomesauce.
I'm glad. I always figure a decision that makes your stomach unclench is probably a good one.

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
There were two more leads and one publisher being monumentally slow in getting back to me with a maybe.
So I set a shit-or-get-off-the-pot deadline. I keep hearing about how "this is how the business works."
Yep, leave writers hanging on broken promises for days, weeks, maybe a month or six.
So I just said, "look, I don't care about money, so here's the date I need you to get back to me so I can go POD in time for summer."
I just really needed to have some control over the sitch.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I am washing my gigantic shower curtain (it goes all the way around the tub, because it's a pedestal tub with a shower curtain ring) in the washing machine for the first time ever. I hope I don't destroy the curtain or the washing machine.
Though given the choice, I'd take a destroyed curtain over a destroyed machine.
Also, we are out of bleach.
And I'm going to make an apple crisp. (That isn't related to the shower curtain, just part of my brain infodump.)

Understandable.

I totally x-posted with Allyson -- I think making the decision that made your stomach unclench is the right decision. And I can't wait to be able to buy Sam!

So I just said, "look, I don't care about money, so here's the date I need you to get back to me so I can go POD in time for summer."
In my totally uninformed opinion, summer doesn't sound very far away. You should do what's best for you, but that doesn't seem like a long time for the slow turning wheels of business.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm glad you came to a decision that feels right to you, Allyson.
What are people doing this weekend?
