I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

What do you get people for Confirmation? I think I got rosaries and other cross-related jewelry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, I don't think I'd get him cross jewelry, but I could get whatever and call it bday/Confirmation. You know, if I had any idea what to get this kid. Maybe some good maps -- his other grandparents got him a car.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Oh, I also only had three wisdom teeth. What's up with that?

I only had three. I think my sister just had one.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

It is a fucking miracle that anyone ever manages to buy a house.

Or to sell one, in my case.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

It is a fucking miracle that anyone ever manages to buy a house.

This is my thought too, along with anyone ever managing to sell a house. Which is why I don't want to do either again for a very, very, VERY long time.

ETA: heh, selling nightmare x-post.

le n and Nora, you are not encouraging me!

Sigh.

I'm sure I'll have plenty to whine about when we try to sell this house. At least they're not happening at the same time.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Sorry Consuela. And I don't have enough distance to sugar coat it either. Ask me in 6 months.

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

Dana, I had your other wisdom tooth. In fact, I still might--I don't recall if they extracted four or five when I had that done. You don't need it urgently, do you?

My medical "it took >twenty years before anyone found the name for it" doesn't bear telling. But I really really hate giving my medical history to a new doc, and that doesn't even count the migraines.

I have now become impossible to watch TV (or anything) with. The pause button gets hit all the time, and I'm just ploughing through my stack of printer paper and tossing them to the floor when I'm done. I try to clean up once every couple days, discard anything that can't be turned into a "real" picture, or I don't keep for reference pictures, but I'm still not in control: [link] . Gotta work out how to work it.

IO9 put my SPN recap on their front page again this week, instead of writing their own. They didn't ask this time, or even tell me it was happening--Annalee changed the title and re-ordered the opening paragraph, and this is truly the point of their latest software upgrade. It's flattering, but then again...it's not like I get paid to endure the slings and arrows, although people are nicer once they realise I'm audience not writer. However, I do *not* have to reply to every comment, to either defend the recap or the show, and that's *hard*. Because the show is clearly perfect, and my recaps are...yeah, I don't actually have anything.

Let me go make sure I'm done sketching from Scandal before I delete it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Consuela, I had a very easy time buying my house and have never regretted it. I hereby pass the house-transaction ~ma on to other Buffistas who need it.
