Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

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

I need to work out a way to watch that movie once a day until it doesn't make me cry any more. Or fall in love.

information libertarian

They are actually now building something in that big grassy lot - a new student-apartment complex with shops on the ground floor and parking underneath.

What years were you there, aurelia? I lived on Ohio Ave. in 1995-1996, then moved to the Gaslight.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Inn the Wood?

Maybe. I don't remember. NoiseDesign might remember. eta: That does sound familiar.

I was there 96-97. I lived in that U-shaped building on McMillan right across the street from that lot.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

huh Incredible Hulk will not download and Iron Man is not available as a rental, only a purchase. BOO. Same with Capt. America. Netflix is totally failing me.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

And at some point I will post pictures

Once again from the cheap seats non-FB participating (I have an account, I just don't use it), thank you from my heart's bottom for posting picture links. Even links to FB, I can clock in, peek at pics and clock out. If you say, "pics up on FB" I won't trawl my FB feed searching, so links is good. Those who post links to other photo sites, thank you, too.

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

Is there a psychological condition called fear of face blindness? I think I have it. No, I know I have it. I have been afraid that I'll forget what my parents look like for decades. It's literally the most stupid thing that scares me--I rate it as more stupid than my fear of slavery and alligators. Because those could just happen, if my luck turned really sour. Face blindness would be bad luck and a brain injury. Which just seems extra.

I can't explain that quantification in the slightest. Yet it seems pretty plausible to me...

I do hope that by the time I get dementia my parents are dead, so it's not an issue. I will assume the person in the room who matches my description is my sister, and I don't really care about anyone else so much.

msbelle, we got Thor and Iron Man 2 on Netflix streaming through Roku. We had to rent Iron Man 1 Norton's Hulk, and Captain America on disc.

I think I can get IM1 and Hulk from Red Box down the street, but leaving the house was not in my plan for the day.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

I'm not even sure Raylan Givens(who's a killer shot and former firearms instructor) would really attempt to fire in that instance. And he's not hesitant about firing.
