Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

So sorry, Liese. I'm glad he's OK, though.

Glad for good news, Kathy!

In my driving news, my boss just said that, since it's been more than a year since I've had a seizure, and I drive Zipcars for errands, I can drive state vehicles at work (with a note from my doctor, which I'm waiting to be faxed any minute). YESSSSS! You have no IDEA how much easier this will make my job!

Now I just need to find another job that makes more money so that I can buy a car, and I'll be able to move independently between towns! AND WEEKENDS AND EVENINGS! Look out.

Now, having said this, I'll probably have a seizure. As Kate P. will remember, because this happened at her house once, several times when I have mentioned how long it's been since I've had a seizure and that I'm thinking of getting a car, I've had a seizure that very day. But, maybe not! Probably not.

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

ita !, I think it was a limited edition run.

Seriously? Fuck. That was my jam.

I use black eyeshadow all the time for lining my eyes

How thick a line? She was about .3 or .4 cm, fading edge.

My god, how am I still hungry?

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

smashbox makes a liquidy thing that turns any eyeshadow into a liner, iirc.

Here's a thing: Michael Raymond-James signs his emails "Mikey Ray" but I keep addressing him as Michael. Am I being rude? I...I can't seem to do the nickname thing. Tim said I could call him Timmy years ago. No. Is this one of those things where I'm being a douchebag? I trust you people to tell me these things.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sending good vibe to your DH, Liese. Glad he's OK.

ita !, that lunch sounds more good than weird. I like the idea that maybe I've grown up.

You are reminding me that I used to like that Black Honey Almost Lipstick. Now I want to buy it again.

Oo, now I want that too. Hmmm... oh Sephora...

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

ita ! I got a squeeze tube of black honey lip gloss - Sephora had it a while ago.

And, in regard to eyeliner, I don't like the way liquid eyeliners look on me - aside from my inability to put it on smoothly. I use a smudgey line of eyeshadow instead and I'm comfortable with the way it looks.

So my current job has hired my replacement! She starts the Monday after I leave.

Unfortunately, this makes me want to not come to work at all for the next 2.5 weeks.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Rock on, amyth, with that thing that you TOTALLY DID NOT MENTION!

Am I being rude?

I think so. But I'm very particular about what I'm called. Refusal to accept my choice of name bothers me.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I talked to a social worker about my brother today. They are trying to get him stabilized and back on his meds. But at least they won't release him from the hospital until then. I talked to her about finding him alternative housing rather than going back to my parents. Really, my dad is 72 and shouldn't have to barricade himself in his bedroom because he's afraid of his son.

Blergh. I think I also have a board meeting tonight but I don't want to go.
