Goddammit. Now I feel like someone's watching me through my own fucking windows. I don't want to go back to keeping all the shades drawn like I did in New Jersey when all my windows looked out onto public areas. I don't like this feeling of paranoia and vulnerability. Crossing my yard isn't a shortcut to the bus route or anything. There's no reason anyone should be in my yard or around my house. Am I going to have to put up a fence to make my boundary lines clear?
I already know what I'm gonna call her. Got a name all picked out...

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Because books.
The Chrome ad with "It Gets Better" chokes me up, every time. In a good way.
What is ketamine, Jess? I know I've heard the name, but I didn't think it was a pain killer or anesthesia.
Emotional incontinence means involuntary, uncontrollable crying and/or laughing, often at inappropriate times.
The inappropriate thing is key -- it could mean uncontrollable laughing when you're sad or upset, for instance, or vice versa.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I concur with above sentiment that Mockingjay is some of the darkest shit I have read in a long time. The film is going to be BRUTAL.
I don't know how they're going to film any of the books and still make them PG-13 (because that's the rating they HAVE to go for, given that they're YA books). Seriously. Some of the shit from the arena in Catching Fire (I'm just whitefonting b/c this is Natter) -- I cannot EVEN imagine how they can film that. Or the muttations at the end of the games in the first book. I assume they're going to have to do a lot of implying stuff, or a lot of cutting away before shit gets real.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
What is ketamine, Jess?
Special K, baby!

Special K, baby!
You are so street, yo. With the slang and the drugs and the glayvin.

Because books.
"Special K" doesn't actually tell me anything, though.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Congratulations to Seska and girl! (I sort of hear that to the tune of pinky and the brain).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
AFAIK, Ketamine's primary use has been as a anesthetic for animals (specifically cats, though that is old old data if it was ever correct). It's dissociative, I think. Which works for some people in a pain-killeresque way, but not everyone? Maybe? I'm relying on my sorry memory of questionable sources, so, have a lot of salt with that.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
It's a horse tranq, right?
I don't know how they're going to film any of the books and still make them PG-13
For real.
lot of cutting away before shit gets real.
I foresee lots and lots of skin-crawling Foley.
Posted my thoughts in Literary, btw, such as they are.

I really wish someone would take ita's pain seriously.
Whiplash: my stylist's been taking pictures of her clients and posting them to fb. I did a screengrab, cause it's kinda a nice picture, if a little dark and just a phonepic: [link]
