Ack. If some guy said he sat next to me because I was pretty I'd be realising all sorts of reasons to be elsewhere.
"Why did you move to sit by me?"
"Because you're less creepy than the guy following me."
Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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

Yup. And yet, that's unlikely ever to happen to me again: going grey has pretty much made me invisible.

At least it's nice out. I wonder how long it would've taken to walk the 8 miles home.
I managed to get on a 145 before it got packed, and then got out and walked the last few miles to my apartment rather than going to the gym.

ita, it wasn't said in any genuine tone. It was more like, "shut up and let me just sit here or I will embarrass you."

Hey do we mention not having any more spoons because of the Spoon Theory?

Because books.
I thought so, Kat.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Yes, we do.

I am right behind you. I am at 97%

I am so tired. Where is my energy?

Liese, maybe I stole it. I came home from working out with my trainer and just BONKED. My plan had been to go to trader joe's afterward (since they're in the same building) but I just couldn't...got home, and laid down on my bed without even changing my clothes, and fell asleep for an hour. Oy.
But I feel better (still body-tired, but not OMG kill me) now, so maybe I leeched it from you. :)
