I'm embarrassingly happy with my life.
Don't be embarrassed about that!
It's not like it's been a stress-free year, for you either.
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh for sure. Last year was more challenging than I wanted. And I struggle with the not having kids thing occasionally. But I know I've got it pretty damned good. And I don't take it for granted.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
I decided awhile ago that bitterness was a waste of my time. there are many many things in this world that make absolutely no fucking sense , but if I dwell on those things I would never have any fun. and i don't have the time to waste on things I can do little about. I will fight for anything and everything if I can find a toe hold (that is why I am heading to the capitol on the 28th) but if I sit around being bitter - I become immobile

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm not in the bitter zone anymore (I'm in the stressed-out zone, which isn't fun but it's easier on me than the bitter is), I'm just saying I know how it feels and it feels like it's gonna eat you up until there's nothing left but the bitter parts. But then it doesn't happen that way.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I have an embarrassment of riches. It's not 100% perfect but I'm pretty fucking lucky.
The town is preparing for the big annual Trivia contest. It starts Friday and runs for 54 hours straight. My team is ready . Then next week, we have a derby bout in Eau Claire. I should really make a stop while I'm there.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh yeah. Bitter or not, I've been pretty fricking lucky.

Swouncing
Skipping yet again (is a daily skip anything like a skim?) because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is beth b's birthday.
Happy birthday, beth! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Ooh, I remember you talking about that contest before, Cash! Fun! Let us know if we can help.
I am not that bitter or depressed right now. But I've been both before and can envision being that bad, even if I havent actually been that bad. (hoping that sentence doesn't end with "yet")

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
do you ever think the bitter will just eat you inside out?
I have been there, yes. It is not a fun place to be. But I'll echo what both beth and Burrell said, as they both said it far better than I ever could.
Also, on Pottermore, I am HawthornKnight7121. I just sent a bunch of friend requests out. Does anyone know if there is some way to tag profiles or friends so I can remember who is who?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Oh yeah. Bitter or not, I've been pretty fricking lucky.
Me too, very. I'm not bitter about the present, but I still have bitterness about the past, which bleeds over. I'm working on it.
