"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

For everyone having a bad day, because it cheered me right the hell up-a cat trying to fit into a water bottle. [link]

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

Oh, amyth. So much love and strength to you.

I was just telling my co-worker that I just hope that she doesn't die today, because I really don't want to miss E's wife's wake tonight, and she said, "I...don't know what to say to that."

That reminds me of a conversation I had with a good friend back in July, just after M's brother died, and I was going on about how awful the situation was, and he said, "Oh my god, I'm just glad you're not on fire!" It was one of the few things to make me laugh that week.

So, yeah. I'm glad you're not on fire, and I'm glad your brain is protecting you as much as it can. We are thinking of you and holding you in our hearts.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee, Daisy. That was so great. I love the bit where the cat looks at the camera, all, just give me a damn drink of water, okay?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey msbelle, just think about how awesome it will feel once you're doing it. Now go and APPLY FOR THE DAMN JOBS ALREADY.

I'm going to go write the note I was supposed to do "after the holidays."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

{{{amyth}}} I agree with everyone else; your brain is just keeping the rest of you safe, disconnecting you from the full weight of all the badness so you can keep functioning and soldier on until you get to a place and time where it's safe to collapse. At which point you'll have about a billion offers of sympathetic ears and shoulders and comforts of any sort you need. I just wish you didn't need it. And the universe needs to back off you and all your beloveds NOW.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm going to go write the note I was supposed to do "after the holidays."

::checks::

It's still after the holidays. You're good.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yeah, I've got a bunch of stuff to do today but am having trouble doing it. I want a nap. And some tea. Not in that order.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Hee. So there's this high school friend who is geektastic and is exactly like all of you. And she just posted on facebook: "My boss just interrupted me intently browsing Google Image's search results for "sharktopus". He didn't say a word."
