You're nice, and you're funny and you don't smoke, and okay, werewolf, but that's not all the time. I mean, three days out of the month, I'm not much fun to be around, either.

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

I want to shave the monkey's pubes.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This is one of those things that make me think about how much people must HAVE to transition, to set themselves up for the ongoing drama and hassle. You know?

In less fraught family news, I just wished my twin cousins a happy birthday on facebook, but I gave one of them an extra exclamation point. I hope they don't notice and/or care.

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

I'm tempted to COMM this, as it's more funny out of context....

Yeah. Reminds me of the sadface one of my Montreal friends gave me when it was implied homosexuality was a choice. "Why would I choose this over normal?"

I'm perfectly willing to have the "Behave or else" conversation with my parents. They tend to go for decorum over anything, but I do fear they might play the clueless card if there's any leeway. Especially since his immediate family was so slack about the same stuff for so long.

I realise now that I have absolutely no valid excuse to buy a new dress for the wedding. Now I'm just wondering how good my family's memory is. What if I haven't worn the dress in 10 years? But 11 years ago it belonged to one of them? How tacky is that?

Yes. Aside from people being genuinely happy with who they are, if you were given a chance to be born into any body, wouldn't everyone choose straight cis white male, just for the ease? Anyway.

Not very.

Ugh, now I have to do a boring task that I thought someone else was starting for me, but he did a truly crappy job. @@

Well, suck. I wanted to vicariously shop some more.
