Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Victim-blaming is often a way of saying, "this can't happen to me, because that person is stupid, and I'm not stupid."

Yeah, sad but true. Oh people.

Speaking of stupid, I bought two pairs of sneakers today and then walked three miles in the wrong shoes, carrying all the sneakers. But I couldn't put them on! I'm wearing kind of long, kind of too-big capris, and with socks and sneakers, I just look like one of those hood-y guys who thinks they are wearing shorts and not capri pants. If you know who I mean.

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

CAPRIS.

I am judging you. Is there an emoticon for that?

I love capris, and I don't care who knows. Especially for work. In recent years, I have started wearing knee-length shorts again, but that's as far as I'll go.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

As a reporter, I learned that the only way to learn anything was to not be afraid of looking stupid.

What I don't understand is that it seems like no one comes back and says, "Barriers save lives, so let's find a way to make effective barriers that are not ugly and that fit in with a historic buildings."

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

I'm wearing leggings. I join Jesse for a cocktail on the bench of the fashion damned.

Cheers! I need a cocktail, actually.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I like cropped pants for comfort. Sadly, they often do nothing for me since I am short and they make me appear chopped off at the legs. Trinny and Suzanne would be appalled.

I WANT A COCKTAIL!!!

Why are none of you visiting me this weekend?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I DO TOO

I believe I shall have one when I get home, even if I can't have it with msbelle.

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

And I was feeling bad about wearing the world's ugliest jeans. But I'm leagues ahead of you two.

I find myself increasingly in arenas where people have a shitload of business knowledge, and all I have is my particular technical knowledge. I can't even work out what questions to ask--I have to ask someone if they're good questions first. It's not about me looking stupid, it's about the team. I want us to look good. But, damn, there are a lot of details in this industry, and I will never retain them.

However, I have been able to point out that there are important facts that it seems no one knows, but everyone was ploughing forward as if they had a clue. It's not so bad being naked if everyone in the court is too.
