The being a useful person part you could spin into an appropriate goal, I bet.
I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I would be tempted to hire someone who said that, though, because that's the best motivation I can think of to keep a job.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
As a nonprofiteer, the useful person part is pretty much the selling point for me.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Happy birthday, Steph!
Thanks, everybody! 42 is pretty good, other than the migraine that developed out of the hangover, which, admittedly, I brought on myself. I think I caught it early enough that drugs are dialing it way down. And it didn't keep me home or anything; I managed to go out to my mom's for dinner and Graeter's.
A perfect birthday present would be for the stabbing sensation in my face to go the hell away. (And, if possible, for the dog to stop farting like death from 3 feet away. THAT IS NO GIFT KATO.)

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

Happy bday!
Loki is doing the reverse of icing; he's resting his chin on the power supply. Eh, if it feels good, I guess.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Happy Birthday! Good times are Good! May the stabby dial down promptly.
