Hi everybody. I've had to skip loads of posts, but I read Beep Me. Still, I'm sure I missed loads. Sending vibes to Typo.
Oh wait...is it mac's birthday? Happy birthday big boy!
Life has been so busy.
Giles: I'm sure we're all perfectly safe. Dawn: We're safe. Right. And Spike built a robot Buffy to play checkers with. Tara: It sounded convincing when I thought it.

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

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I, like Teppy, hang out with a lot of people who do a lot of weird-ass shit. And on the one hand, I try to be like "hey, whatever floats your boat". OTOH, I am a judgey judgey bitch, and stuff like a "Littles Party" (for people who like to pretend they are like, five years old) skeeves the heck out of me.
I'm right there with you. (Including the littles thing. We have a friend who's into that, and...it leaves me at a loss for words sometimes. I don't know how to converse with her when she's "being" 5.)
I don't *tell* her it weirds me out, though. If it weirds me out enough, I remove myself from the situation, and I do the same with anything else that weirds me out. I don't tell people to not do something, and they do the same (or, I supposed *don't* do the same) in return.

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

Exactly. It's not like you can give her a time out. It's your issue, not hers, in this case.
eta: Which I don't mean to sound ridiculously smart ass. Once you get past consensual (and adult), people get to do what they want and what turns them on. And while I might judge silently and from very far away, I want the same appearance of respect from others.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Happy Birthday to mac!
And o/ to Perkins!
Vibes and ~ma to Typo and tommyrot and anyone else who needs 'em.
I had one show open last night, I tech another one tomorrow, and have focus for a 3rd on Monday. I'm covered in scratches and bruises and all my pants are too big. I'm not whining, just posting the cliffnotes for my current situation.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The ER is full of strangers. Don't like.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Public transit is annoying. I'm going to be significantly early for my call time this morning, but it was either that or be late, which I hate. At least I'm up and at em and ready to go?
In related news, Happy Easter for those to whom that is relevant.

Now tagless for your comfort.
ita, I hope they're nice strangers and you get some relief.
The kids are eating chocolate for breakfast.
I need to pack since we're flying to Florida this evening.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I hope the ER experience was pretty okay, ita. And travel is smooth and easy, Cashmere. And all those shows do not become Too Much, aurelia.
I tried making a Strawberry Icebox Cake (I think I got the recipe here, because where else do I go?) with matzo and it came out pretty good. Probably even better with graham crackers, but still.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Another quiet Sunday for us...

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I'm off today! Actually, I wouldn't have minded working, since it's time-and-a-half and Easter is pretty much just another Sunday with candy for me, but on the other hand, a day off is nice....
Time to get stuff Done around the house, especially since it's in the 60s and the Sun has appeared....
