Sparky,
I have been flipping out about this for an hour or so. I know people there and were emailing back and forth when I heard the news.
Mal: Then I call it a win. What's the problem? Inara: Should I start with the part where you're stranded in the middle of nowhere, or the part where you have no clothes?

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
Oof. I heard that on the radio and was hoping there was no reason for anyone buffista-adjacent to be there. I hope it resolves swiftly and safely.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
It's a bit weird to be the last person in the lab on a day when I was the second person to arrive. :shrug: It's friday.

Sending ~ma, Sparky.
I'm waiting for KCD to flip out. He hasn't paid his share of certain CJ related expenses for over a year now. He pays the regular child support no problem, but the unusual stuff has been a struggle - though it didn't used to be. We had made verbal agreements and I have the divorce paperwork.
I just sent an e-mail detailing it all out, calculating the numbers a couple of different ways and right now I don't care how much he pays, but come on man...this is your son. I'm not asking you to pay for anything crazy - karate tournaments, testing fees, school fees, dental costs over insurance. Dude should be happy that the wisdom teeth costs were less than $200 when our original quote was over $1,000.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Jesus Christ, you guys. I called for a cab that never came! Stupid Friday afternoon in the rain. Luckily, it occurred to me to call into the meeting, but it was not at all the same.

Jilli - have you see this:
Photo from Wave Gotik Treffen! Some day I will go to that festival. Tho' thinking about trying to plan my outfits and pack for it makes me a little dizzy.

not your mom's socks.
Jilli that reminds me that the local upscale thrift store has a black and white striped silk capelet - I saw it yesterday but didn't note price or size. Should I fix that?

But he's my dad, and I love him, and I just have to let it be what it is. And, yeah, like you said, try not to feed him certain cues.
This is the definition, in some ways, of family. I will never be what my parents want either. And Grace will always be someone different than I envisioned. I never wanted a son at all. But still we love all of these people, foibles and all.

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

I totally appreciate that "family don't end with blood (boy)". But in my mind, that's always meant that blood doesn't make anyone my family.
That's why I can have relatives I haven't spoken to in ten years and others who I might talk to, but only trivialities, and I don't engage with them at all. I don't give a flying fuck what the family tree says.
