I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

apatheistic (I totally just made that up)

Oooh, good coinage!

We should promulgate it and point it out to erinaceous.

Apatheistic: I believe in god(s) but I just don't give a shit.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I feel like there must be a word for that in the Discworld already, but I don't know it.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Hm. That would include a lot of morality that I don't think the word we are looking for needs to carry.

I'm thinking in particular of the atheist philosophers in Ephebe, surely they'd have a term.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, I'm watching last night's Big Brother After Dark, and it's fucking hypnotic. Good thing I never signed up for feeds. It is so boring, but I keep watching! It is interesting to see what they get in trouble for talking about.

Also: Yay Madonna Inn! I will have to wait to look at pretty lighthouse pictures, but look at them I shall.

They are literally just talking about Big Brother and other reality shows. It's like being there!

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

the feeds were like crack.

I cannot really get my head around the reality shows like that anymore - too meta.

Oh, that room is exactly what I wish my bedroom looked like. Those blues are so soothing I think I felt my blood pressure drop just looking at the picture.

I am so burned out on reality shows. I mean, I watched Top Chef one season, and then next season was exactly the same thing all over again!
