Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Except, if I don't think the picture is of me, I'm not engaged with it. And my eyes are naturally sleepy and my mouth turns down a little if I'm not smiling, so I generally look either high or angry.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

After I started on the anti-anxiety drugs, I really noticed how much BETTER I looked in pictures. Not that my features had changed in any way, but my body language and facial expression changed to be way more attractive.

That's nice to hear.

ION, does one just have a phone interview from one's office? That feels so creepy! And I know the walls aren't that good.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I've done it, but if there's somewhere nearby that you can step out to and do it from your cell I think that's generally more comfortable. And especially if you feel like you might be overheard.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

It's those spontaneous moments when people are being themselves without the awareness they're being watched that shows you a lot.

If someone takes a bad picture of me and infers that it's because my children have rendered me dead inside, I'm pretty comfortable saying that says more about their issues than it does about my family.

Somehow I feel like going to the phone room would be more obvious. I think my voice doesn't carry like my coworker's, and even with her, I can only hear what she's actually saying about half the time. I guess it will be fine. I just wish I had gotten the 5pm slot!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Childrearing has different effects on different parents, too. My cousins who just had kids the last couple of years are always bubbly and energetic when I see them. My best friend and his wife when they had an infant and toddler in the house? Should have been moaning "braiiiiins" at passers-by.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
