Kate !!! !!!!!!
Yes, there is. There's a hurry, Xander. I'm dying...I may have as few as fifty years left.

You do do a lot. You are awesome.
Thank you!
shrift, I'm impressed by the amount of walking you do!
Thanks! It's my main form of exercise. Not having a car helps me rack up miles, and I've been trying to get in at least 5 miles every day. I've discovered that I really like walking for an hour listening to funny podcasts with nothing else to demand my time.
Also, does anyone ever really get everything together?
If I could figure out how to make myself get 8 hours of sleep every night, I think I could get alarmingly and irritatingly close to it.
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.
For me, I spent years being miserable and too busy at work to do anything, and then I was too poor to do anything, and I got into a do-nothing rut. And now that I'm reasonably healthy and financially sound (totes a place of privilege!), I had done nothing for so long that even the thought of trying to get out of that rut made me anxious.
Screw you, crippling anxiety! I will defeat you! Temporarily from time to time!
And congrats, Kate!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Aw, Kate. Yay! And my mother's best friends are still two moms from my little sister's playgroup, even though we moved away over 20 years ago. Kids! Better than dogs for making new friends!

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

I want to, someday, use this as my personal rallying cry. Today isn't that day. But one day, yes, I will do this.

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

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

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Do you suppose someone has pitched a series about internet fans? And the only interaction they have is on an internet message board? You'd see them individually, and the writers and actors (but never any of the actual show) and then show fans reacting to it and to each other? (i.e. if fans are discussing the physics of a show and one says, "yeah, but you're not rocket scientist" and then we see the other guy posting from a cubicle at JPL)
That reminds me of a great one-act from BOA this year, which was about people posting on a messageboard after Natasha Richardson's death. All the actors spoke whatever they were posting, never looking at each other, and also gave hilarious asides.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Kate P, I'm so happy to hear the news! Congrats!
I'm in Santa Barbara! It's very pretty! I'm eating lots of seafood!
