Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Exhibit A: ANGLERFISH.

You have EIGHT PAIRS OF FISHY BALLS? If so, yeah, that's kinda weird.

Steph, I love reading about the relationship you have with The Boy. Healthy relationships are always a marvel.

I have had a DAY today. I won't regale you all with details, but suffice it to say it included much driving, a trip to target and poop (not mine) along with a really big train.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The Oatmeal goes all billytea

Oh. OH! That is just awesome! "The smell... So enchanting. Gives me FISHRAGE!" 

Before I clicked through, I really felt a need to defend billytea's life!

This is true. billytea's life is anything but. I should have clarified.

Because it has things like this in it! 

See, that's why you're my role models!

Okay, but just remember all the ways in which we are SO NOT RIGHT. Exhibit A: ANGLERFISH.

Pffft. Exhibit A for AWESOME!

I am seriously hopped up on anglerfish this morning.

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

I love reading about the relationship you have with The Boy. Healthy relationships are always a marvel.

Same here. And you definitely earned it.

I don't happen to be attracted to people that get me. Ah, well.

More pressingly, I REALLY want to go home and lie down. Dear lord.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I dropped off two large shopping bags at the thrift store this morning. WHEE!

Chocolate chip cookies are cooling in the kitchen using up more baking stuff!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

How to Name an Abortion Clinic. As Mr. The Oatmeal himself says, it's not nearly as offensive as it sounds.

Okay, but just remember all the ways in which we are SO NOT RIGHT.

but you're okay, you're going to make it anyway? (sorry, whitney reference) Seriously, Tep, you and the Boy give me hope. You found someone who respects your boundaries and cares about you and recognizes that your needs are at least as important as his.

Nom nom nom. To top off my week of good fun? DMV tomorrow. WHEEEEEE!

Actually none of it is bad. It's all okay. just busy.

Also, I saw my friend D who 2 years ago had surgery to remove tumors on his throat. Then 18 months ago had tumors removed from his brain and is now slowly wasting away. It was lovely to see him and sad too.

My flight is already delayed. Only by 20 minutes and I haven't even left the house yet...but this does not bode well.
