We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

We should totes have one of those mass weddings! It'd be great!

I know traditionally they are a mass of people getting married and just the one officiant, but I like they way you think.

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

Like a wedding tasting. Lots of people marrying you and then later you can debate which was the best, the most touching or in need of a little more salt.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I think it should be a weeklong event. You know, on the ship. There can be an officiant throwdown leading up to the big event.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Get married twice a day every day for a week. Good excuse for lots of parties.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Wedding talk funny!

Officially sick. Fever, swollen throat glands, pain in throat and ears, headache. Tonsilitis, strep or sinus. Anyone want to place bets on which?

And I have work AND supposed to be hosting NYE with a kids sleepover. And the car we left here when we went to IA won't start (cold or battery, I think), we have $14 till Monday and I think I might cry because I really want to spend time with M,but if I'm contagious, I can't, and they're downstairs watching The Two Towers, which was my idea, and I feel too shitty to think about watching it, but I want too,and I just woke up from a nap, because I had to lay down, and I need to lay down again, and my head hurts too bad to read and that means I am SICK and I fucking am mad at Santa, because this is a shitty present.

I am going to drink all my water now, and hope the Tylenol kicks in. Sorry about the whine, but I know Dan feels badly enough and I don't want to spoil M's vaca here (he goes back 1/1) with stupid whiny...whining.

That which does not kill you should RUN

Damn, now I want to get ordained too, but only if I can do battle dressed as Paintball!Annie.

From S2, right? Because I think that is a splendid idea.

My SIL's prescription naproxen was a godsend for the aches (500 mg, I think? she's one a holy-hell maintenance dose cause the army fucked up her knee) I honestly think that helped as much as the day/ny-quil to beat the worst of this cold. I hope you just have what I did- I basically slept a day after feeling like I'd been run over and then the sinus stuff was an afterthought (though not forgotten, I could tell my breathing still isn't right during my swim) once everything stopped hurting everywhere.

I will be seeking out OTC versions to abuse for future pain. Cause aspirin, tyl and advil kinda don't work anymore with me. But that naproxen was the shit!

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

Aleve = naproxen, I believe. My preferred painkiller.

I hope you feel better tomorrow, Strix.

I'd always avoided it thinking there was caffeine involved (I don't know why I thought that?) cause I know exactly how I can take my caffeine, and in meds is not one.

OH HAI POLICE HELICOPTER LIGHTING UP MY STAINED GLASS!

Oooh, I bet that is pretty. But not fun. I hope they find what or who they are looking for and stop the pretty light show quickly.
