I have no ideas about hween costume and two events where I need a costume. Yikes! I think last year was my Halloween high point!
I like money better than people. People can so rarely be exchanged for goods and/or services!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
tl;dr: ita didn't respect boundaries and can't let stuff go.
Could you call her up and apologize? Or would that be weirder?
Everything is so CLEAN.
Yay!

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

She'd be all "WTF, ita?" This is entirely an issue I'm making for myself. Platonic grab-ass wouldn't even peg her meter, not from someone I was with. That's how she grew up. I am just hung up on so thoughtlessly contributing.

Because books.
What made you think of it now, ita?
Were the cats good for the cleaner, Perkins?

ita, chalk it up to a (NPI) contact infection. Lack of boundaries momentarily infected you. But you recovered quickly!
I revisit past did-I-really-do-that's?! for no reason so I know how it goes. If I wanna cringe, I can remember something needlessly stupid that I did and feel bad all over again.

My husband set a 5 year statute of limitations on cringey stuff like that. If it happened more than 5 years ago, he is not allowed to feel bad about it.

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

I think so, but Dita is freaked right the fuck out.

I can't help it; it is visceral. Stomach drops and my back tightens up, even as I can laugh at it now. And sometimes it is just stupid to feel bad. Like when I had to do a lunch delivery and COMPLETELY got the location wrong after insisting I knew the place, and drove all over (because I am a perfectionist, control freak and don't like admitting I don't know...well, I've gotten over mostly the first and definitely the third.) I felt so bad, I paid for the lunch. And it was over $100.
It's funny now (Kroger building!= Kroger HQ) but my god I felt dumb and incompetent at the time.

I become more and more convinced Devi and Dita share a common ancestor.
