Jilli--I am deeply sorry and am thinking of you.
Mal: Well, you were right about this being a bad idea. Zoe: Thanks for sayin', sir.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Teppy, was that by chance a Maranatha (sp?) church? I suffered through some really ugly shit in one of those churches in the late 1980s (it was associated with UCLA).
It was not, but in reading the wiki you linked, there were A LOT of similarities. It wasn't a Charismatic church, but most of the other aspects were the same, particularly the heavy emphasis on the "Shepherding" aspect.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I know I submitted Baby Bob Marley to the good things tumblr, but every time I look at it, it gets creepier.

Calli not only took Lulu out because I had to stay at work late, but she drove me to E's wife's wake, because my ride fell through at the last minute, even though it was 25 miles away, and she had to skip her book club to do it. She is the best, best, best, best. I'm really glad I went, because my boss has the flu, and several other folks from our office couldn't make it.
And thanks to everyone here, as always.

And because it deserves its own post:
Jilli, I'm so, so sorry. So much love for you and your dad. We're all here for you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I'm glad you made it to the wake, amyth. And that you aren't on fire.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Calli is awesome. We are all pretty lucky to have each other around.

I am totally glad to not be on fire, too! When Calli said she'd drive me to the wake? I finally cried.
We are all extremely lucky, it's true.

Because books.
amyth, I had skipped like mad before, but what everyone said. All kinds of ~ma to you, and yes! Very glad you're not on fire.
