Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Only two, ChiKat?

Surprisingly, yes. All my students know late work is 50% off. It's not a big surprise. I teach 8th grade, so I do allow late work, but it will get graded down.

Most of the work we do in class. If they aren't ready, they are slackers.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I might give that prize to Steph for reminding me that in women

Not just women, apparently.

I'm like Cliff Claven.

I would like it not to be raining.

Me too.

Therapy is not going as well as I had hoped.

Poor msbelle.

Hey, I need advice from people who are better at color theory than I am! (Yes, I could ask Pete, but it would probably lead to much eye-rolling on his part.)

If I was looking at two heavily-pigmented lip gloss/stain products, adding a drop or two of black to a purpled-fuchsia color should result in a blackened fuchsia/pomegranate color, right?

he brought up the ds at dinner right before therapy, for the first time all week. And he really tried to work himself up into a mad mood before his session. Then he went in and was told by his therapist that it was staying away for a while and he came out of the session and proclaimed it was over. We eventually get him to agree to draw and he draws me with a knife in me, awesome. He also pulls out 2 books that I've never seen before. He says some kid gave them to him, they look brand new. I am pretty sure he took them from someone. Gah.

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

Man, such ferocious focus. I'm sorry, msbelle.
