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 artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

But I feel like someone telling me that I MUST find transwomen AS A GROUP attractive....no. I don't find most PEOPLE attractive.

EXACTLY. How is that a difficult concept for people to understand?

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

In fact, I think that I read a fic remarkably similar to this . . .

Yeah, it's just about the time where the guy on top "shows his interest by grinding down against [Dean/Captain Jack/Danno}'s obvious erection". Just about to happen...

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

But not with the mint, because I hate mint. Maybe ginger instead.

My sister in mint hatage! Ginger sounds amazing. Ginger and lime are two of my favorite flavors. I will make ginger syrup and use it to sweeten limeade. (or make vodka gimlets with ginger syrup, whichever)

The honey/lime/ginger was an excellent combo, mixed with quinoa, cherries, strawberries, and blueberries. I would never have thought to mix quinoa with fruit, but it is damn good.

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

Dude, why isn't Falling Skies a better show? Pfeh.

I enjoyed this week's episode more than most. Whether that was because it was actually better or because I watched it with half an eye while folding laundry I couldn't tell you.

Had a gimlet, no ginger syrup but quite tasty. So, thanks for that, Natter.

I mean, seriously. I has a type. I seriously has a type. And that is way more specific than what genitalia they might have. That said, if I met and befriended someone awesome who happened to not have my normally-preferred genitalia, or some variation thereof, or whatever, and I was suddenly all "OMG, want in your pants"? I'd get over the "type".

This right here, in a nutshell, is why I adore meara, and why I think knowing her makes me (and all of us, really) a better person. Or makes me try harder to be better. Or both.

(OK, I flirt with a couch. But you know what I mean).

Or maybe it's this.

Trust my rage

I am awake because Ellie has some stomach bug. Basically, she wakes up from sleep, pukes, we clean up, and then back to sleep. Except that I can't fall asleep that fast and I'm afraid I feel my stomach getting tight. My mom had this two days ago and actually passed out while puking and woke up on the floor.

Trust my rage

I killed the thread so early in the mornIng...

Poor Ellie. I've never seen anyone this sick. Hopefully, it runs it's course soon.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Oh, Stephanie, that's so miserable.

The good thing for me about being awake at 5:30 is that I can watch Wimbledon.

The bad thing: why the fuck am I awake at 5:30?
