Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

ita ! couldn't find one she liked in a girly cut, so Jilli altered it for her.

Also known as the standart alterations I make to t-shirts. Yes, I have done the same thing to a Motley Crue shirt AND a Bauhaus shirt. Because I am ridiculous.

I'm just kinda waiting for today to be over. It was harder emotionally than I thought it would be.

It's actually been a really hard year, when you stop and do the math. Eliot would cry, too, if it didn't take him seventy minutes of therapy, two cocktails, and a Sondheim medley before he can experience a human emotion through the haze of his PTSD.

Now they're in Bro-Land

Oh, Jilli. I'm sorry it's been so hard.

And I feel kinda bad, because I didn't call or text Dad at all today, but ... I just couldn't. I knew I wouldn't be able to keep it together.

But I did get to see one of my nieces-by-association today, and she squeaked "Auntie Jilli!" and told me all about her daycare, so that was nice.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

(Damn, I want that movie. Tony and Bruce, DOING SCIENCE.)

They were such fun together. I particularly liked when Tony zapped Bruce, just to see if he'd change. Post-ouchies, Bruce seemed just so relieved to find someone who wasn't walking on eggshells around him. He giggled, didn't he? I remember him giggling. (Captain America started off on the right foot too, but he doesn't really relax around himself, let alone other people.)

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

You know what I've discovered is tasty? Home carbonated water with a packet of True Lemon stirred in. Doesn't need sweetening at all. That's even lazier than the juice diluting thing I was doing beforehand.

Know what I'm about to discover is tasty? Alcoholic (not flavoured, but actually alcoholic) ice cream. The cookbook I bought doesn't actually have an egg nog ice cream recipe. But I know what goes into egg nog, and it's not all that different from a rich cinammon and nutmeg ice cream WITH BOOZE.

I usually squirt lime juice into my homemade fizzy water. Mmm.

The status is NOT quo.

meara, I'd love to see you while you're in LA as well. Maybe we'll end up with a little LAista night.

That would rock, if not this time, one of the LA visits.

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

Oh Jilli, sorry it's been such a hard day. But I promise you your father knows you have been holding him in your thoughts all day.

Clever ita, very clever.

I made lime cordial! Which means gimlets were had, and yum!

Jilli, I missed your post earlier. I'm so sorry that today has been hard. Many long distance hugs.
