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

I've been to "improv" performance that was made up shortly before the spot, so I appreciate the clarity.

Thank you, Second City Detroit. Not something you were rewarded for seeing every week, but I was having improv withdrawal after leaving my peeps in Montreal. Where it was different EVERY SINGLE TIME, including workshops. Why is that such a difficult concept?

I emailed in that I was coming in late today, because I felt hugely grotty. Not sure why I bothered. No way boss has cleared his backlog of emails to get to me yet, and New Guy/PM isn't here yet. But at least my power supply is where I left it yesterday.

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

So, New Boy is arriving on Friday, and I'm getting panicky.

Picking him up at the airport is going to be awkward.

More importantly, what should I wear?

Oh, and ita, I went to the world's most awesome bra shop on Melrose.

All sizes start at D. I tried on a rockin' corset, but then realized I would never be able to hook it on my own.

A little pre-boy shopping, hmm? What's the name of the store? I should re-stock. My sister was mocking me. Saying that the AIDS-donation aspect of my bras was the only reason anyone would buy them. Well, and the fit! Just certainly not the looks.

There's a corset store near me in Santa Monica where they sell ones for pretty reasonable prices that you can hook and then lace up on your own.

Picking him up at the airport is going to be awkward.

I'm sure it will be weird to start off with, but the two of you have created a common space, and I'm sure you can lapse into it with just a little push.

Punishingly Intricate

SWEET! I was at Nordstrom on Sunday and there were what seemed to be a ton of new styles in many colors for larger sizes. Mostly Wacoal. Spendy but mucho variety!

Picking him up at the airport is going to be awkward.

Oh, man, I was SUPER nervous when Bob picked me up at the airport for the first time after we had met once and then corresponded for a couple of months. He was not nervous at all for some reason. I was nervous until, probably, the next morning.

Here: The Alphabet Starts at D

I anticipate weirdness. Weirdness is okay. I just hope I don't spiral into a low self-esteem pit of despair. Gotta keep the 'tude up.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Would you do it for Al Gore?

No. But he's totally right about that font.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's exciting, Allyson!! At least you have practice meeting people for the first time who you've known for years.
