Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

where they're behind in the translation and are trying to buy time or something.

I did that the other day. I was nodding and, whoa, realized I had no idea what had been said. But I then asked for it to be repeated. Because if I am agreeing with something or agreeing to do something, I should grasp what it is. And it wasn't a different language. I just wasn't comprehending for a moment.

Fucking hell, stop telling me defence isn't a word.

It's the act of taking a fence down, right?

edit: Dana, I am sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh god, Dana. Best of luck to him.

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

Oh, Dana, what rotten timing.

Dana, that's just a boatload of shit. I'm sorry.

My goal is to strive for happiness in and around me. To feel things. The past three years have probably been some of my best so far. Definitely the most even keel (previous decade NSM, but I was good at fronting through the numb and internal shittiness) and the most true to myself. There have been some crazy highs, but those are ancillary, it's the sum of the normal days that have been good. Doesn't mean it will be without grief and troubles, but that I'll have the resources and core to see me through.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Dana, damn. That is just awful.

What she said. All of it, really.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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

Dana, that is just a clusterfuck for your family. The sort of people who pre-announce a termination don't sound like they're all warm and fuzzy about work/life balance, but I hope they do your husband fairly, and that he's not even on the potential list anyway. Y'all need to move on your schedule, not anyone else's.

Why won't Gina Torres marry me? What did I do wrong? Is it the straight thing? Me? Or her? Shit.

I'm so sorry Dana.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Husband is talking to his parents, and apparently his mother doesn't think he needs to come to the funeral. His family is very different than mine.

But they both agree that the timing would be bad, with the layoffs.
