Yes, dahlia: [link]
I did a reverse image search, and the only hit that was actually that flower was someone asking what flower it was. THANK YOU FOR NOTHING GOOGLE.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

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

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Literally all I know about dahlias is that they are poisonous. I would never have recognized those.
Fuck, ita, that sucks. It's not your fault it still hurts despite everything you've tried. Arggh.
Grace with the the vocalizing is fantastic!
If anyone is wondering, having a wonderful meal followed by an amazing absinthe service and then a luxurious hot bath is pretty much as wonderful as you'd think. Ahhhh. Sometimes it is really good to be me. And to be friends with Lee.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I know each component of that sentence is false, but knowledge is really useless sometimes.
Yes. But keep knowing it, please.
YAY Grace! Amazing.
I just saw that they are hiring at an organizing called the Harry Potter Alliance. Um, OK.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Yay, Grace!
Mine have been longer and worse since I went off the pill.
Longer and worse than before you were on the pill or than when you were on the pill? Because, oh, I miss the easy days of strictly regulated hormonal contraception.
Longer and worse than when I was on the pill. I think they're about the same as they were before I went on the pill, but that was so long ago I had forgotten how awful they used to be and all the added stomach upset that went along with them.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
What I know about dahlias is that they're tender perennials and featured in one of my favorite quotes:
My advice to the women of America is to raise more hell and fewer dahlias. - William Allen White
That's wonderful about Grace, but she has always struck me, at this distance, as a very determined child.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The caption on those cookies cracked me up:
They humorously look like little green-faced Wicked Witch of the Wests that have been doused with buckets of water.
