My sister just got comped mad shit on her way to South Africa because she bumped up against visa troubles. She got some really nice people at the flight desk there. I can't believe they're making her pay for a Swiss visa to just pass through the country.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

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

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
No plan b - means starving artist. I have a college age friend -- she loves music. she is going to school for music and art therpy . Yes, she love to make a living playing guitar and singing. however, if that isn't the way it goes - helping people with music and art - not a bad second choice - and still living with ideals. That is what I call following your bliss . Finding ways to live , take care of yourself , and live up to your ideals of what a good person is.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
There are people I know who would laugh at that label being applied to me. But I am a damn grown-up, and the whole notion of privileged hipsters telling people that being responsible means you aren't giving your all to your ART makes me want to take a mallet to them.
Because that is what it means to BECOME AN ARTIST. Wait. I meant to say, to join a cult. Or possibly to join the homeless (into the one mega-homeless, HOMELESSTRON).

Some people have some strange hobbies, I tell you what.
That's actually kind of awesome. But I don't know where you find the time.

But my hesitation is just because I'm not sure what I feel matches up with what the vast majority knows as "sexual attraction" and takes as a given.
I would say based on how many self-described sexuals look at some of the lists made by members of the Ace community and blink and say, "but... that describes me, and I know I'm sexual" that the definitions of sexual attraction as being used is fuzzy at best.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Jilli,

yes, I'm sick and twisted and need my twitter followers list to reflect that.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
It seems to have become summer here over the weekend. 90 degrees and high humidity, oh, joy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, it kind of feels like "but how do I know that the red you see is REALLY the red I see?!?!?!?!" to me.
So I pretty much avoided the bad weather (tornado watch!) getting home, but I'm supposed to go back out in a bit. Oops.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Nilly baby is awesomely cute and cuddlesome! And obviously intellectually advanced for his wee age.
I...feel I ought to put this in an entirely separate post.
