For me it comes down to me not having much of a fight or fuck dichotomy--we just want the best possible excuses.
HA! I love you, ita !!
May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Argh. After being sick for weeks and sleeping 16 hours a day, I finally feel better and need to get up for work in the morning, and lo and behold, I can't fall asleep!! Sigh.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Have some utterly bizarre light fare for your 11/11/11 morning. [link]

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Aarrgh (what's the spelling of that word? I mean does it need at least two ars, but what's the stance on as (wow, I hate putting in the apostrophe in those scenarios, but that homophone is seriously unclear. Still, I'd rather swype this parenthetical than put one in. Don't hate the playa, hate the game)?
Wait, what was I annoyed about? Right, bills. Century City Hospital says I owe them $2k. They don't even exist anymore. And the charges (five visits? Seriously?) are way out of proportion for my usual out of pocket at the ER at that time. Or ever. Which means research, with companies that haven't had me on their books for four years. I am agog.
If the hospital couldn't be arsed to try and get the money from me, why are the creditors so hot for it?
Oh. Right.
Urgent ER visit underway. I'm not leaving until this nausea breaks. Haven't eaten today either. Maybe I should get them to give me juice. That's more useful than icewater.
Man, I'm bored.
eta: aurelia, your link goes to a Chinese woman covering Lady Gaga.

Got through the night without a riot. I think everyone here is kind of exhausted at this point. But there will be a hundred thousand new people coming in for the game tomorrow, so who knows what'll happen then.

I'm eating a tuna sandwich! Half of one, to be honest. And slowly. But this is as much solid calories as I've managed all week total.

Our wings are not tired.
Yay food! May the sustenance help all things.
Are you staying in town over the weekend, Hil? Stock up on stuff so you don't have to go out. I hope the students have calmed down, but the game will likely stir stuff up again.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
ita !, I hate to hear that you had to make an ER visit, but I'm glad you are able to eat. I hope you feel better soon. And that seems like such an inadequate thing to say, in the face of what you deal with every day, but I mean it with all my heart.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
ita, I'm glad you're eating!
I know the situations aren't analogous, but during the worst bouts of morning sickness when I was pregnant with Dylan, forcing myself to eat anything, no matter how hard it was to tolerate the smell, always turned out to be a good idea in the end. The nausea that came from an empty stomach was always worse than the nausea that came from eating something.

Yeah, but I live far enough away from campus that my neighborhood will be fine. I decided to give myself a project for this weekend, so I'm going to make empanadas. Just need to go to Wegman's this afternoon to pick up supplies.
