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

I don't just have way more clothes than I need, I have way more stuff than I need. Most of us do. I'm not apologising for that. I like my clothes. I actively enjoy, like, eighty percent of my wardrobe. I'm not going to try make it through the month on six types of food or fewer books or tv shows just so I can say I made do with less. Yes, rampant consumerism. Also, fuck you.

I didn't read far enough into that site to work out how to look professional at the office and not spend your life doing laundry either.

East coast insomnia checking in. Speaking of wardrobe consumerism, apparently there's a sale at both Saks and Ann Taylor today. Seems like it's the only way I get pre wedding family time with some folks. I don't actually like shopping.

I have discovered a wonderful online comic, Scandinavia and the World [link]

It's done by a Danish woman, and it's sort of RPS featuring the personifications of the Scandinavian countries and others. It's educational and funny and full of surprise yaoi (poor Germany, he really needs to have Denmark and Netherlands leave him alone, it's making Sister Japan a little anxious, not that Denmark and Netherlands need much encouragement that way).

Oh, and the opinions of Europeans re: America can be eye-opening to those who think we're universally loved.

Are there many Americans that think you're universally loved? Feared and envied, I get, but loved?

Because books.

I kind of assumed everyone loathed us.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I kind of assumed everyone loathed us.

Me too.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Same. If we're popular, I see us as being popular the way the stereotypical bitchy head cheerleader is popular.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Ha. So not a rockstar except the part where we fell asleep in our clothes...and missed the show. Oops.

I know people who think America is loved and envied--and those who don't love us are Those Sorts. Then again, those people wouldn't make it past the first five comics of Scandinavia and the World.

Connie, that webcomic is hilarious.

Wrong in so many ways, but it's a hilarious sort of wrong.

Ooops indeed. But now you are awake and apparently on N&G time! They are asleep, btw.
