I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I mean, no, I don't think it would work out between us if we have that sort of divide, so it was good that we got that out on the table, but I felt kind of like a jerk.

Whoops.... So maybe stick to shorter, less-committal answers to start this time?

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

No segue. Does anybody have an update on ita?

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

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday beth!

Had an eye exam today, and my eyes aren't completely back to normal.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Steph, when I got crust for you, I couldn't draw anything else.

My work computer is not letting me do anything I need to do. I guess I'm glad I had planned on working in the office tomorrow. Just so frustrating. I'm calling it quits for the night.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I just saw this happen:

A car gets to an intersection and stops at the stop sign. The car then edges forward around the corner, so that the driver can look to see if anyone is coming before turning. The street the car is turning onto is pretty busy, so the car is sitting there a little while. It's in the crosswalk. A pedestrian starts crossing the street, and walks into the side of the car. He looks startled, like, "How did that thing get there?" He takes two big steps backwards, then tries walking forward again, but the car has not magically vanished, and he walks into it again. He stops and thinks for a moment, and finally realizes that this might work better if he walked AROUND the car. I was the next car behind that one waiting to turn the corner, and I could not stop laughing.

On the second impact, if I was the driver, I might start thinking, "Zombie?"

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

The person interviewing me was a big proponent of the rock bonding class.

Hmpf. He shouldn't have asked "What do you think about X?" if he wasn't prepared to hear "I didn't like X and here's why." It's an interview question, not an ego-stroking opportunity. I mean, I get why it was embarrassing, but he kinda set you, and himself, up for it.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Nah, she wasn't overly defensive about it at all, and seemed okay with my point-of-view, it was just awkward.
