So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

My morning routine mostly involves looking for my socks.

I also tend to wake up 10 minutes before leaving the house.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm one of those people who can be out the door in about 20 minutes if I need to, but I'd rather get up early and let myself wake up for an hour or so before I have to drive, or talk to people.

Of course, most days, no makeup. I do not use shampoo. I do not shower in the morning. I also have long hair that I may or may not bother to brush.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am with Perkins. I take at least an hour "getting ready", but I could be ready in about 10 minutes if I hurried. I like to make coffee, read the internets, feed the cat, etc, etc.

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

On weekends I can make it out in 10.

Our wings are not tired.

I can't be the only one who spends 30+ minutes in bed with her iPhone catching up on teh interwebs before even getting out of bed...?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I am not sure I could read the iphone that early.

I go to the couch, where the laptop is.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

ITA agree that it takes more time for a woman than a man to get ready (generally) but if she's been doing all this stuff for years, it should take her not nearly as long. If she has some high-maintenance hair, she should get a different style or stop bitching.

Also, WTF is she exfoliating, treating and putting serum on in the morning? Treatments go one at night. And she needs to stop curling her lashes if she's that bad at it.

I may be too bitchy, but dude, all that stuff either (a) isn't necessary and (b) doesn't take that long. Who cleans their jewelry every night? It doesn't take that long to look polished, unless one she's some kind of power lawyer on TV a lot. Is she?

Punishingly Intricate

I like to chill out in the morning -- read the paper, eat breakfast. I also do yoga two weekday mornings. I shower, wash and blow-dry my hair (well my bangs) every other day, don't wear makeup to work. Sometimes it takes me a while to get dressed because I don't have enough clothes I love.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

This made me laugh. But then again, I'm weird.

Cat Vs. Printer, Translated in an English Accent (The One)

If you've ever struggled with a horrible printer, you'll be able to sympathize with the cat in the video you're about to see. Some clever person has taken the cat's silent struggle and added an internal monologue (in an English accent, and with some NSFW language, even!)

What used to be a funny video of a cat batting at one of the world's most frustrating machines is now an even funnier video of a cat cursing out the devil printer. Why won't it take the bloody paper?!
