Aww, yay Kat msbelle gifties.
Dinner went well. Dave made yakiniku which they all ate except the littlest kid, who ate two bowls of salad with ginger dressing. And then the kids played Wii while we chatted. And we made kettle corn.
I said I'm sorry. I've made mistakes, but fear was never one of them.

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
My niece's bday is coming up, and I was given a little wishlist by my SIL. All obnoxiously pink and sparkly princess stuff, which is fine, but boring.
I got her a full Wonder Woman costume with the red boots and the bullet-deflecting cuffs and tiara thing. It's a dress, pretty much with a cape attached. And a touch and feel Wonder Woman book that explains that Diana is a princess who catches bad guys and you can touch the golden lasso and shiny boots.
And a wonder woman plush doll.
My card will read, "Dear Neavie, Wonder Woman is my favorite princess. I hope you like her, too!"
This is manipulative, right?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
There should be a krav maga Barbie. That would solve so many problems.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
This is manipulative, right?
Totally.
And I approve. Seriously, she's into the pink princess thing because it is what she's exposed to to an extent. Expoose her to more. It might not be her thing in the end, but better she has options than not.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
We've been sneaking Wonder Woman into Matilda's Princess rotation for as long as she's been consciously absorbing Disney's Princess line.
She was Princess Diana (of Paradise Island) for last Halloween.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
These are the ways to know if you eating it right.
That made me laugh so hard I couldn't breathe.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Fuuuuuck. I have to move. As of 10/31. What's even more awesome is I'm supposed to be out of town that weekend.
I just don't even.
Fuck.

Ah, shit, Jesse! I'm sorry.

I feel like I should start looking at apartments now, but am also wondering if I can beg them for one more month. Ughhhhhh.
