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

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

I made one up and wore it to my sleep psych appointment, and she was very confused. She was all "what does that have to do with the war???" I told her it had to do with a TV show (it's a smush of a Supernatural quote), and she was all "Ohh" in that "I totally fail to get that, but okay" tone.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Random question: does anyone here use "Motrin" for the general term for ibuprofen? I just got a flu shot and the nurse said I should take "Tylenol or Motrin" if it gets sore. I just would always call ibuprofen Advil.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Yes, I noticed a few years ago that nobody was saying Advil any more.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I spent a couple thousand dollars on plane tickets for the holidays, and then crashed. I woke up this morning feeling like I got drunk and had a regrettable one night stand with my credit card.

Hahahaha... I wish I could say I don't know what that feels like. We had to impose austerity measures for a few weeks after buying tickets to LA (visiting my brother), Philly (my cousin's wedding), and MA (home for Thanksgiving), and suddenly realizing we'd run through the entirety of our bank balance cushion. And we still haven't bought my ticket to OKC for Christmas...

Thanks for all the birthday wishes, everyone! I had a fantastic day, full of happiness and pie, and to top it all off, not one but two of my friends gave birth yesterday, so I now share my birthday with two healthy and gorgeous new human beings. Couldn't have been a better day, except if it had been a Friday instead of a Monday. I, too, long to be Occupying My Couch at the moment.

And happy birthday to brenda!

I call ibuprofen ibuprofen.

My lord, I'm so bleary. I'm totally "hearing" things on this con call. My mind is wandering so far.

Happy birthday, brenda!

Really? I mean, I would also say ibuprofen, but if I were picking a brand, it would not be Motrin.
