Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The practical part was a MP3 player, which my daughter is getting. The less practical part is a bracelet charm with the company logo. No golden bricks, just a brick of irony.

I don't hold any ill-will to anyone there, it wasn't a personal thing. But my mental state didn't really need to get hit by a 2x4 of irony at the moment.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Ouch. Sorry about that, man.

I think you need to destroy this in a particularly explosive, scientific and cathartic manner.

The upside is that later, when things are going better, I be able to appreciate what is some really first-rate irony.

Uhg, Gud.

I was gonna post something insightful about how charming a couple the newlyweds are, but then I farted and Loki took umbrage and bit me on the ass.

Which shows how classy I am.

Spent ALL DAMNED DAY trying to schedule a meeting early next week and kept getting pushback. It's still not scheduled. Damnit.

I fielded several phonecalls from relatives last night asking about my brother, on account of the tornadoes. Images are horrific. And I shudder to think how close they came. And how simply the house is and if a tornado came through, even the basement would be exposed, cause it is a drive in, and the house is typical 80s flimsy build. It's a rental, else I'd suggest a saferoom. And I know the odds, this is just irrational. And tornadoes REALLY FREAK ME OUT, even though I've only once been within a mile of one.

Oh and Barbara Mikulski came to my work today. I love that she unabashedly geeks out over Hubble, and us.

Maybe 14. I don't think I went back there after I was 16.

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

OMG, sara, you look so young and fresh.

Voudoun, Gud, voudoun. It's the only way to be sure.

I have a sudden urge to name children. Vadim Anaximander and Tegan Blue. One of each.

Ordering in too much sushi for dinner. Don't have it in me to cook for myself.

I think everyone should post teenaged pics of themselves. I'm going to go find one now.

Somewhere between 16 and 18, because I'm not wearing a school uniform. 11. It averages out, nu?
