I'm trying to work out if I can get my hair cut before a noon flight. When I started typing this, it seemed possible, but it's seeming less and less likely the more I think about it. Even if they cut at 8:30...
Is it an international flight, or the holidays? How far are you from the airport?
I am having way too much fun and way too much "oooh, dang" self-torture by browsing OKCupid on the whole-USA-match as opposed to near-me. SO many cute girls with good profiles! Who live NOWHERE NEAR ME!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
The song "My Name Is Luka" has always been about a teenaged boy being beaten by his mother or father to me. It occurs to me that I've been doing some work to make it not be about a twenty-something woman being beaten in a relationship.
Huh. I also assumed it was a teen-aged girl being beaten by one of her parents.

Wait, when is your flight? I thought it was at the end of next month.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My brother Chris chased my other brother around the table with a carving knife when he was 11 threatening to kill him. He's a solid citizen...now.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
I've done that as well, meara. Only internationally. And have come to the conclusion that part of the reason i'm perennially single is that I'm not normal anywhere.
Edited to redact stupid sleepy mistake.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
"My Name Is Luka"
I thought it was a kid, but I may be conflating it with a Natalie Merchant song.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I thought Luka was a kid, too. Possibly influenced by the video? I don't remember.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Huh. I also assumed it was a teen-aged girl being beaten by one of her parents.
I'd thought a boy of around 7 or 8, for no particular reason. Is Luka used as a girl's name too?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Wait, when is your flight? I thought it was at the end of next month.
It is. It will need to be cut again by then. I think I can be home by 9:30. I wonder what time the prime time shuttle would want to pick me up...it's international, but just Canada.
