Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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

I am so sorry, ita.

Oh, ita. I'm so sorry. I really wish you didn't have to deal with this. If you want to commiserate, feel free to email/call me. If you want to go home, go home. Cancer's a big deal regardless, and unless it expressly violates your mother's wishes, being there with her will do you both good.

Fuck cancer with a rusty chainsaw sideways without any lube. I am so goddamned sick of this disease touching people I care about.

Maria said all this as well as it can be said, so I'll just point and nod.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

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

Oh fuck, ita. I'm so sorry.

Maria, you and your recent troubles did remind me that I am long past due for the dermatologist, so I have that set up next month. How are things going for DH, and all of you?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Oh, ita. I am so so sorry.

Maria said everything perfectly, so I'll agree with her and Perkins.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Damn, ita, I am so sorry. Fuck cancer, indeed.

Punishingly Intricate

Oh fucking hell, ita. Maria expressed what I am thinking exactly.

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

ita. That's all I've got.

ION, my Nemesis blew off deadlines she had assigned herself, and when I asked about the projects, misrepresented the dates she had given.

Do I challenge her on it? Just send the evidence to my boss? Ask if I can help because clearly she's too busy to get all her work done on time? (Which is frankly the truth.)
