Zen, good question. I'm in the same place with that one.
Simon: Captain... why did you come back for us? Mal: You're on my crew. Simon: Yeah, but you don't even like me. Why'd you come back? Mal: You're on my crew. Why we still talking about this?

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Zen, I can sympathize all too well.

We're going through the various boxes and binders of Magic cards. Hubby is getting more and more angry and despondent as the scale of the pilfering gets bigger. He keeps thinking about the money that's been lost, and I'm thinking of it as a "Well, it's something that could have happened, it's nothing that should have been counted on." Worst is realizing that people he's trusted have betrayed him.
Not a fun night.

I think one could probably cut down on both the sugar and the butter. If one wanted to.
that's like saying one could cut down on the breathing. If one wanted to.
Zen, I think that you need to own your hurt. You are saying that it wasn't a big deal, and maybe it wasn't, but it's bothering you, and you need to acknowledge it and think through it. At least, that's what helps me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister sent me an email from my mother's new email address which is a shortening of her middle name, plus her maiden name. I mean, not just the email address, but the name expanded. This is why Google+ is bogus. Because that's totally my mother, as is her first name + married surname. They both equally identify her to me.
My thumb is still fucked up. Weirdness.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Alas, thinking through it has only made me more hurt and angry. I see no solution.

It's 2:30am, I'm drunk, and I'm going to bed.

Thanks, meara! I was asking about it in Tech. I've bookmarked the article.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
They (I think it's the power company?) are doing work on my street. It started at 7:30 this morning, just like the last two mornings. But today is Saturday! So I dozed in bed for a long time, getting woken up and having crazy dreams. I wish I had just slept a little longer and gotten up. Annoying!
Not that I have more than a couple of hours' worth of stuff to get done today.
