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

And I'm trying to do things now, rather than just thinking about doing them

Problem with these damned anti-depressants is that I want to do more things. However, I still have the migraines, so I can't do more. I've traded depression for frustration, and some people who haven't heard from me in years have been on the receiving end of my mania. I feel horrible about it, but I'll probably text again within the next couple of days.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I really wish that people would embrace the notion that one's reproductive choices are one's own business.

It is so flabbergasting that people do not understand this.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I think most of my issues revolve around the fact that I really do want to be the Goth Mary Poppins, complete with the bigger-on-the-inside handbag and an umbrella that lets me fly.

When I was at Comic Con, a woman doing a completely balls-on Mary Poppins (in a pitch perfect dress like the white one from the chalk drawing scene) came around the corner and the artists and writers at my booth LEAPT OVER THE COUNTER to fawn over her. "Mary Poppins I LOVE YOU!"

They all had pics taken with her.

Seriously? SERIOUSLY? There should be a test, and a license.

I'm going home.

I didn't have to roleplay, though. If we were chatty and sassy, no roleplaying. So I sassed and chatted. Woohoo.

Oy. My college-age niece does not know about ctrl-A, or how to select multiple files at once. Or how to set up playlists in iTunes.

I would think I've failed as an aunt, but she does at least love The Hunger Games and went to see HP7.2 in costume, so there's hope for me yet.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

You guys! My Dad has started going contra dancing at the local community center, and is apparently quite the sought-after partner!

That's excellent news! I am very pleased for your Dad.

I really wish that people would embrace the notion that one's reproductive choices are one's own business.

Why do you hate America?

Because it's a little too obsessed with my womb.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Most of my issues revolve around the fact that I'm not Tina Fey. WHY AM I NOT TINA FEY?

I bought Bossypants yesterday and OMG--I laughed until I cried. And that was just in the first 25 pages!!!

Brilliant. But you're awesomely funny, too, Allyson!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I didn't figure out lots of word shortcuts until after law school. I think I was 24 before I got ctrl v/ctrl c.
