I was in my late 20s and realized, "asshole ain't a disease". I haven't spoken with her since.
That's hard. My mom was chronically, physically ill, though.
Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

No frosting, but I think the name comes from the fact that a lighter color rises to the top, so it looks frosted.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Is it different from an Orange Julius? I've tried that. I don't usually like creamy tastes mixed with orange flavour (orange creamsicles are just wrong--I used to drink my orange juice all before or all after my cereal to minimize the flavour overlap) but that was good.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Orange Julius will make me laugh forever because at some point, possibly before I was born, my mother thought that the special thing there was orange juice with hot dogs IN IT. And thought that for a long time before actually saying it to anyone! OMG it makes me laugh.

It's similar to an Orange Julius. It's kind of like an orange slushy with a little cream.

Oh, for sure. And not at all saying we were in the same boat. But as horrible thing after horrible thing kept being done to me, for 29 years, I *always* tried to make a relationship work. Cutting that cord was the best thing that I ever could have done for myself. Also, we actually didn't have a relationship - it was me all those years thinking and hoping that we did. So there was really nothing to "cut" except for my longings.

When I was in high school, if I finished a book at night, I had to start another one so that I was sure of another day of escape.

I'm with Amy: orange creamsicles are awesome.
Hi Karl!
Especially since I've been telling myself that I'm not allowed to make snarky comments about "Fast Eddie" anywhere
But why not? I'm so tempted to point out that if everyone's relying on his statements about what Google's requiring, they should know he doesn't exactly have a great record for truth.
... frankly, it is a little weird that we are the only ones who seem to know or care that Gus Weremonkey is Fast Eddie and he committed psuedicide. I mean, we talk about it quite publicly here, and it's not hidden (although not indexed either). Weird.
Would Tropers care? I suspect not.

Mother didn't want to get me headphones for my stereo because she was afraid I'd never come out.
