Reavers ain't men. Or they forgot how to be. Now they're just nothing. They got out to the edge of the galaxy, to that place of nothing, and that's what they became.

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

Woo, meara, a whole year of 5Ks! Go you!

Enjoy your day, Consuela.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Yay Consuela, for a weekend full of win!

And yeah, meara, def impressed with your 5K year. Another win!

I am having a bit of a panic attack. Been kinda building for a couple weeks. Ugh. Need to slog through it however and get shit done or I'll just end up having more of these.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Bummer, Burrell. We're here for you.

Man, meara, I admire you. I'd like to get to that point.

You can do it! Any of you can!! Seriously, I completely walked the first two races, and a couple others in there, when I wasn't feeling it. Even my slowest one was less than an hour. It's easy, and there's always lots of people walking. And you can just run when you feel like it. Lord knows I have in no way been able to run the whole thing at any point!

I am disappointed, though, because my time this race was not my fastest. I was hoping to go out on a good note, but my fastest time is still back in JULY (I think because it was at midnight, and all the rest of these are in the morning!). I seem to be pretty steady around a 12:30 pace. Which would be an OK jog, if I were jogging the whole thing...

Art Crawl!!!

I had the most sleeptastic Saturday ever - I went to bed sometime after midnight Friday and woke up the first time around 7:30. . . didn't get up. Listened to a podcast, fell asleep again, woke up sometime later, didn't get up, fell asleep again and finally woke up after 3. . . with allergytastic nose running and itchy eyes. . .so I got up then.

And stayed up 'til after 4 am this morning and went to bed and then got up around 10. Feeling fantastic.

Apparently, it's just what I needed.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

A little bauble I think Jilli and quite a few other Buffistae would be VERY interested in: [link]

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

That is adorable.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I have a vested interest in that bauble, Scrappy, since thanks to Allyson, sometimes I are one. Also, best thoughts to your mom.

Sleeeep is gooood. I'm glad you got enough, sumi.

Snow is pretty. Over there.

Woot! for a good night, 'suela. And have fun at the dog show.

Get-through-it-ma, Burrell. And way to go, meara!

Thanks Liese, thanks Beverly. I'm currently testing whether or not GABA makes a dang bit of difference if I'm not trying to go to bed. I think maybe it's helping. But my family? So not helping, not a one of them. Oy!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Thing I will not say to my uncle on FB, in the interest of family harmony:

That Ben Stein thing you're posting? Mostly bullshit, not in response to the White House saying "holiday trees" instead of "Christmas trees", and Ben Stein is fucking insane, in case you haven't noticed.
