Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

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

I don't think that link is quite right, Sue, (it's asking me to log in, but I was able to get to your tumblr sideways) but thank you for the pretties.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So my brother got jumped by a bounty hunter yesterday.

...wait, let me rephrase that.

His battery died (shocker that) and this bounty hunter named Tank (who evidently just did a pilot for Spike) stopped and gave his car a jump. But you know I just wanted to type that first sentence. Josh said he was really helpful and fun to talk with. Usually, he ends up getting jumps from the nurses. NSM the construction workers or anyone 'not in scrubs.' There's probably a sociological study in there.

Bikers are often helpful, especially if they get to feel all manly for helping a helpless damsel. For varying definitions of damsel. Possibly the plastic skull I have on the antenna helps.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So my brother got jumped by a bounty hunter yesterday.

In the same vein, a repo man once jimmied the lock on my car door.

(I had locked the keys in my car, and the first co-worker I mentioned it to just happened to be a repo guy in a former life. Anyway he had a tool that he used to reach inside the window and open the lock for me.)

When I was in high school, one of my fellow students came from a family with multiple family members doing time for a car theft ring. Whenever someone locked their keys in the car, the office would call Mike out of class, cause he had all the tools to jimmy locks.

Actually, the story gets even more fairy-tale unbelievable: Mike moved to NM in 5th grade. He was the only one who beat me at geography bee because he (a native Louisianan) left out syllables when calling out "Louisiana" Looz-ya-na to my Loo-wee-see-an-ah His dad went to prison a couple years later. A little auto body shop out in the county owned by an older guy had been unwittingly used to clear cars stolen by the gang. When the dad went to prison, this guy felt bad for the kid (he went into foster care, his mother went into the wind) and took him on as an errand boy and later apprentice. Last I heard (which was about 5 yrs out of hs) Mike was taking main responsibility for running the shop and buying out his mentor in installments. Kinda crazy. Such a small town thing.

Contemplating use of celebrities to frame a documentary on something so wrought. I mean, I get why, but I don't need Sarandon or Diane Lane or America Ferrara to forward the ...forward. But then, I sought out the documentary on the fistula clinic, so maybe I'm not the margin audience, I'm the given. But still, there's a taste in my mouth like glitter on shit.
