Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm pretty well indoctrinated by the Hollywood beefcake machine. I find most of the designated eye candy candylicious. But I can't work out why Alexander Skarsgard isn't working for me: [link] So close, but no cigar.
Work is expressly irritating today. It doesn't bear thinking about, and I'm not done yet. Tomorrow's 1 on 1 with my manager is going to be awful. But I'm going to have to be frank about some shit. I can't keep letting other people's problems get in my way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I feel that I would be an excellent driver, if I were permitted to be the only person driving within a several mile radius. As long as nobody else moves, I can handle it.
Absolutely. It's why I liked city driving the best, too -- plenty of time to get your bearings at red lights and stuff.

Here's a fine example of how we'll be safer if more people are carrying guns. [link]

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
My initial lessons were in the parking lot of Golden Gate Fields.
Oooh, that's close to where Emmett's mom lives.
Jeez, Typo, that sucks. I'm sorry.
msbelle, you are the nicest! When I think about the monkey head you bought for Emmett's scooter it fills me with happy.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Took Driver's Ed in High School.
Bought my first car with money I made from my first job before I was even 16. Learned how to drive stick by going first/reverse in the side yard before I got my license.
Failed my first driving test by doing the three-point turnaround backwards.
Parallel parking? I have to do it multiple times a day, and can ease the car in with a clearance of no more than 2 inches on either side. It is not uncommon for me to spend 3 to 4 hours a day driving while covering Emmett's various travels.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
I *can* parallel park. But most people prefer that I don't.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Emmett is only impressed if I do the parallel park with one shot into a space with less than a foot of clearance.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I either get parallel parking right the first time, or have to do it again and again. I'm certainly getting plenty of practice here, though not anything like SF. My most impressive parallel parking accomplishment was a pick-up truck and 16' foot trailer; I think it took three tries.
