This is slightly tragic, so I have to share: I am really proud of myself for making (and eating all of) a box of mac-n-cheese instead of ordering a pizza. Just the one high fat/salt/etc. meal instead of several!
Sigh.
I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Burrell, did it start from anything?
Not that I can tell. Maybe from bringing in 5 grocery bags at once? But it's mostly gone now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've just been invited to "Ancient Mayan Secrets for Reclaiming the Modern Feminine". I'm trying to not eyeroll. I mean, I'm not going, so I don't have to react. I just...what does my modern feminine have to be reclaimed from? (OR WHEN????)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
The other day I was doing some kind of crazy tension-filled stretch and thought I broke something in my neck for a minute!
Ahhh! Those are the worst!

"Ancient Mayan Secrets for Reclaiming the Modern Feminine".
The Mayans were pioneers in vajazzling?

You know the Mayans have allllll the secrets!
Maybe from bringing in 5 grocery bags at once?
Yeah, that sounds about right. Glad it's fixing itself.
Ahhh! Those are the worst!
I mean, right? It was new to me. Ow.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Strangely enough, I have never lost my feminine, modern, Mayan or otherwise.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'd have to go back a quite a ways in my genetic history to find a link to the Mayans. And I attended one too many pagan-Goddess-mentrual-cycle-Earth-goddess-reclaim-your-cunt circle in college (2, precisely) to know that my sense of the absurd is too pragmatic to not piss the sincere off.
It truly works for some people, but the typical Run-With-The-Wolves trappings do not work for me. YMMV. (And not knocking most pagans, y'all; I gained some good perspectives from it, but I'm not cut out for organized religion of any stripe.)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
The Mayans were not into vajazzling, but they were pioneers in the ancient art of psychedelic suppositories. I'm not making this up....

Oh, man, I just embarrassed myself thoroughly. Something one of the developers said made me launch into telling the story of Goldilocks, WITH VOICES, and then...I completely forgot how it ended. And the two American-raised people in the area couldn't help me either. So I feel less bad, but the guy I was talking to stormed off and wouldn't finish the discussion.
