Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

The undertaker for my mom was a dude she dated in high school. True fact.

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

I support you in this.

Applying for gov't jobs suck. Applying for any job sucks. I just want a damn job. I probably should put something else down as my goal though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The undertaker for my mom was a dude she dated in high school. True fact.

That's kind of classic.

Edited for context.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Ha!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I just want a damn job. I probably should put something else down as my goal though.

I managed to refrain from putting "paying my mortgage" down as my objective on job applications, though that was always the first (and often the only) thing that came to mind. Stay strong.

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

Skimming Not Always Related leaves me very perplexed. The one BT linked to is pretty clear, but the rest seem to be missing their punchlines.

Last week's art course homework was to reproduce a black and white photograph with a newsprint collage, and this week involves some sort of outdoors installation. I only have to do one more, but if there's any sort of increasing wackery, I'm screwed.

When is the assignment going to ask me to make a collage of TV characters in suggestive positions?

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Slept with earplugs in. Amazing how much of my insomnia is due to the cats making creepy noises in the house --the instigating incident was them playing in a paper grocery bag, which sounded a lot like someone turning the knob on the storm door. Which is whacked because that was the first time I decided to lock my door at night. I'm secure and suddenly I'm terrified of home invasion. Unsecure I sleep like I'm in a coma.

It was actually kind of a balm for the person taking over at that point to have a personal connection. (And a surprise - we didn't know ahead of time.) but it also kind of cracks me up. Small towns, yo.

Oh my (I typed Jesus and autocorrect changed it to Jesse. Make of that what you will.) the cat has been climbing on my head in the middle of the night and it is driving me batshit. She woke me up four times last night and I woke up in the morning feeling like I'd barely slept. I don't know how long I can stand this. I'm actually worried that I'll fling her across the room some night by reflex and seriously injure her. She's old and frail (and can't fully retract her claws).
