I guessed as much. Awesome.
Also? FOUR boxes, muah ha ha! I am no msbelle, but I am plodding along. Tonight's box was more books, and mostly Harry Potters, but still. I am committed to at least a box a day.
...because God knows you need some satisfaction in life besides shagging Captain Cardboard! And I never really liked you anyway. And you have stupid hair!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I just "hired" msbelle. Or rather, she saved me. I poked around online and she packed my shit and refused to let me help beyond tape (because it made me even more of a stressbunny.) It was awesome. I can never repay that.

What's the last thing that made you smile unexpectedly?
A friend calling me up saying he misses me and wants to hang this weekend
Tell me something you like about yourself right now?
The pedicure I just got! It's very shiny and red.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I'm sure any story will bring in more crank calls, so I'm rather glad I'll be out of town at the beginning of next week.
My sister (14ish at the time) picked up a stalker when her cat went missing and she put posters up. This guy would call and keep claiming to have the cat and ask her to meet him places. He came over once, was creepy as all hell and wanted her to come with him to pick up the cat. Then the calls kept coming, always with weird excuses for why he hadn't brought her back or arranged for us to come get her yet. Collect from payphones a lot of the time, and neighbors kept seeing him hanging around. So fucked up. It was the first time I ever realized I actually had the capacity for lethal violence.
(And I still get worked up not just about him but the phone company, who claimed the only way to establish exactly where the calls were coming from was to accept the charges and wait for the bill.)
The cat in question is on my lap right now, for the record.
ETA: Jesus, she's old.

Now tagless for your comfort.
This morning a classmate of Owen's told me that she liked a story about a girl who kills vampires. The girl touched them with a magic stick and the vampires turned to dust.
I asked her if the girl's name was Buffy. She said yes and then she said one of the vampires was good. He had white hair and was named Spike.
I couldn't wipe the smile off my face all morning.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I was okay until this part:
she said one of the vampires was good. He had white hair and was named Spike.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
So she's watching S...recent Buffy!

I think that last part might have been me.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Aw, Cash, that's great.
Just watched The Good Wife. Loved the ending. Loved a lot of moments, actually.

Liese, I loved this [link] .
We're having teenage rain. Tempestuous, prone to not following through, random alternating weepy and torrential with calm. Basically, unpredictable.
God, I need to get a new battery for this laptop. It'a goddamn flaky, and with Loki around, get unplugged too frequently (dies at 80%.)
