I read that autocorrect this morning, and I too reacted by thinking, "What the actual fuck."

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

When i get upset, I literally lose the power of speech. The act of opening my mouth to explain why I am upset leads to hyperventilation, embarrassing sobs, and choking. It's not terribly productive. Especially when I'm pmsing and what I'm upset over is really really stupid.

There really has to be a way around the "cry when angry/frustrated" thing. Cause it completely undermines the "I am legitimately angry with you, I'm not being hysterical."

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

What do you say when he (NSFW) walks past you on the beach?

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

Hello, Dr Manhatten, probably.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I tend towards, "Screw what society says, this is a legitimate response and just because water is leaking from my tear ducts does not mean I am not rational right now." Because the only way I've found *not* to cry is to bite my tongue, dig in my fingernails, and not talk. And if I don't talk? Well, how's that saying go? "Speak your mind, even if your voice shakes."

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Due to the DH's old job and friends in the business, I have met a LOT of famous people. Most exciting for me:

  • Andy Kaufman ~ when I was a stripper. Still my top meeting because he was such a talent crush of mine
  • Frank Gehry ~ he was just standing around at a show of his models and drawings. I don't think most folks knew he was there. My ex made us go over to talk to him but I was too shy to say anything but hello.
  • Joss, at Jane's house a couple of times. I manage to say hello every time, but then I am too freaked to actually hang out and talk. Oddly, I think I have met every other Whedonverse writer and have had no prob gabbing away with any of them. Writers are my peeps.

I am not quite done dropping names because my most fave was meeting Boyd Gaines backstage at the revival of "She Loves Me." I had taken my mom and he was a friend of a friend. Not only did he meet us and give us a tour backstage after the show, when he said good bye, he leaned down and gave my mom a hug and kiss. Made her year, I tell you. That's a lot to do for strangers, especially when you have just played the lead in a musical and must be very tired.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

OMG it's the same guy.

I gathered as much and DID NOT CLICK.

I did enjoy meeting Jane at Comic-Con a couple years ago. She was like, "Hi, I'm Jane," and we were like OMG YEAH WE KNOW.
