Every planet has its own weird customs. About a year before we met, I spent six weeks on a moon where the principal form of recreation was juggling geese. My hand to God. Baby geese. Goslings. They were juggled.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

ION, I'm invoking the FPC, but can I have some hairpats? Therapy this week was (once again) hard, and today is just ... ugh. There's nothing happening with the job hunt, I feel overwhelmed and stressed out about everything, and I just want to lay down and cry for a while.
On the good side, I have managed to work on the fiction project every day of November so far. That's something, I guess. But yeah, I feel ... not good right now.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Oh, Jilli, hairpats galore! Hard therapy is probably good therapy, but that doesn't make it any easier. You are valuable and loved and it's totally okay to feel overwhelmed. You have had a shit ton going on in your life, and it's a totally normal reaction. But you're smart and savvy and pretty and you can get through this.

Lots of hairpats, Jilli. LOTS.
And what Liese said. She said it better than I could.

Sorry things are so tough, Jilli. I hope you find your way to a better mindset soon. Lay down and cry if you think it will help. Or if not, not, but I hope something helps.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Jilli, you are such a joy to everyone you meet. You inspire me, and Kara, who has never actually met you. You bring beauty and whimsy to the world. So many of us want to impact the world for the better, and you do every day. I hope the hard goes away soon, and you feel better soon.

The problem with admiring Jim Caviezel's cheekbones is that eventually you notice that he's talking.
I will, naturally, be in Nashville while Kate is Massachusetts. I have promised my mother to stay longer than usual, because I haven't been up there for a while. We gave up on turkeys some years ago, because they're really a lot of effort for three people. I am supposed to choose what we're having, because I never express an opinion. She doesn't make anything I don't like. As a general rule, I try not to be the person who picks out anything, because if anything goes wrong, it will be my fault.
Feel better, Jilli. You're talented and creative and have a wonderful sense of self, and that will take you to good places. You also have every reason to feel overwhelmed.

Warning, rant ahead. I waited a little while because I don't mean this to be directed at anyone specifically, but I really, really hate the notion of the FPC. Overwhelmed and stressed is plenty of reason to ask for hairpats. I hate that it seems like people feel they can't post their minor or major hurts without apologizing for it upfront. Isn't that what we're here for?
Diamond shoes and a root, fine. We all have times when we're bitching about something we know is minor or silly. To me, this feels altogether different.
Now, it's not all about me and others probably take it differently. But it really bothers me.
