Yay Lee!
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

It's a good idea to have a "social" profile... people will assume that's all there is and not go digging further. :-)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I really wasn't planning on actually buying a car today.
I feel a little sick, but in a good way

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

Sheer Passatiness, I'd wager.
Is this good enough to give my sister?
My mother said any picture of my sister and I is the right thing to draw for her. I figured as much.
You ever zone out so hard you might as well be asleep, but you're still doing something, so not sleep so much? Happened to me many times during shading the Reedus, which I don't blame on him. Just me.

Congrats, Lee! Did I miss the precipitating event, or was it just time (I realize most people don't wait until the bitter end...)
Wacky swim. I decided to try going faster every 3rd lap. Which....well, old times, but then the next two laps were awful times (and I felt like I was gonna kill myself.) So there's that. Oof.
Got a call from Taylor; she's out in Phoenix at the INTEL Int'l Science Fair. (She was just shocked! SHOCKED! at how damn hot it is.) I've got to go pay off the deposit on her prom dress. Her employers didn't have her paycheck ready before she got on a plane, she comes back in Friday at 4, prom is at 8, there's no time to stop and pick up the paycheck AND get it in her account/cash it AND pick up the dress. For various reasons, her parents can't right now. She kept apologizing all over herself, but it is a no-brainer and the shop is close. I think I might refuse to let her pay me back in full...

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
My brother got engaged. Finally! He told me via text . . .
He's got a house with his girl. He's got our grandma's ring. He "borrowed" ten grand from our parents (or however much) to reset it. He's relapsed and drained her bank account and she stuck with him. My mother's been pushing for them to get married in the hopes that it'll cure him of his addiction, while I've secretly been all "Kate doesn't need another lock on her life with this dude". But I called him up, thinking of maybe ribbing him with "finally, punk" but ended up just telling him congratulations. He sounded so pleased and happy and surprised, like maybe he'd been expecting heckling. But you know what, if he asked, and she said yes, then that's great, and it's their choice, and they don't need second opinions on that. I think she's stupid for sticking with him, but if he hasn't pushed her away at this point, then she's probably the best gal for him.
I guess I need to start sending her birthday presents and cards.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Hooray, new car!
I have made my Mother's Day calls to my mother and grandmother. The news from home this week is that my father finally got a hearing aid and has since been putting WD-40 on all the hinges in the house. Also, my 13 yr old nephew is now 6'3", 150lbs, and is shaving.

This amuses me greatly.
