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?
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.
Why I like my co-workers: when someone brings in donuts, there is not a single whine of "Do you KNOW how many CALORIES are in that?!?" or "I don't eat ANYTHING with carbs!" or even "I want one, but I'm trying so hard to be GOOD."
No, instead there is a flat-out stampede to the kitchen and schemes hatching to get the last jelly-filled donut.

Morning, Buffistas. Yet another blah day.
I haven't run this week, because my sister has bronchitis and I can't get myself out of bed early enough without knowing she's meeting me. And I can totally tell it's affecting my state of mind. Bah.
In better news, I did some writing last night, for the first time since last fall, so go me.
Happy birthday, beth! And a belated one to Drew and anyone else I may have missed over the last two months. I'm trying to yank myself out of the morass and re-engage with the world, which includes birthdays and births and pregnancies to be celebrated.
I believe this is highly relevant to our interests.

Welcome back, Maria! Lovely to see your shiny pixels again!
Oh! Over the weekend, I saw that Danny Masterson has a new sitcom with Adam Busch, James Lesure, and another guy I didn't recognize. So that is probably relevant to certain people's interests. But I also wanted to comment on the fact that I feel like I haven't seen any commentary about how full beards are BACK. I think it's interesting.
