Because books.

I just like clothes. I need a new closet.

Me, too. And yet I just looked at everything I have and thought, There is nothing I want to wear here. Which includes a couple shirts I bought just two weeks ago.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I'm wearing a sundress with criss-crossed straps in back, which I just realized almost perfectly frame one of my tattoos.

Ooh, nice.

I'm wearing this dress. [link] It's probably the first time I've worn a dress to work in a year. Dunno why.

(Picture is from my scary ass training session last week - full day training for 60-some people none of whose first language is english. Oy.)

I am so glad Tino is still Tino. It would break my heart a little if he weren't. He's so special.

I also suspect that he is Hil's adviser.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

You know, if someone's unreachable by phone or e-mail, you can just corner them in person. A little pain infliction might straighten out the situation.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Right now I can't stop crying, I'm so nauseated I feel like I might vomit, and I've got a nasty headache.

I think I'm going home.

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

Go home, smonster. I'm sorry you're having such a crappy day.

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

It's a theory, if you all work in one location and you have the latitude to go find them. I don't always have that latitude.

Ugh, smonster. I hope you feel better.

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

Oh, smonster. I hope you feel better.
