I look more rad than Lutheranism

Today feels so weird. We've known it was coming, and here it is, and I feel like I'm watching it from outside myself.

I sure as shit hope my wedding day doesn't feel like this. (I obviously get the massive differences: layoff bad; wedding good. But the similarity is in the Very Big Life-Changing Event that I know is coming, have known is coming for quite a while. When the day arrives, will I feel like I do today, all detached, like I'm watching from outside myself? I hope to God not.)

Punishingly Intricate

I was worried I'd feel like that on my wedding day, Steph, but I totally didn't. Good luck getting through today!

This is all the stuff I'm taking home (unless they have a secret pony waiting for me that I don't know about): [link] After 18 years, 2 bags and one small box for my toys. t edit And my Avengers cup, which I am currently using and therefore cannot pack until I leave for good.

Steph, today has got to be hard.

One of the pieces of advice we got when we were wedding planning that I thought was good was that one the day we should hold hands, and keep holding hands so that we experienced it together. There are always people trying to pull you apart for "one picture" or "just a minute" but handfast we stayed, and we ended up with memories that really were our day.

I had the biscuit, smonster, and it was yummy. Thanks!

I generally stick close to him at parties because of my social anxiety (unless our besties are there, because I can chill and snark with them and feel fine [they also have similar social anxiety issues -- together we are like the Voltron of Awkwardness]). OTOH, the wedding guests are just family and the aforementioned Voltron of Awkwardness, so I should feel chill.

But yeah, I'd rather we be together a lot of the time, obviously.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Shir, did you get anything else? What did you put on the biscuit?

Steph, that must be super duper surreal.

Man, this anxiety is kind of crazy pants. I feel twitchy, like I'm overcaffeinated, but I'm not. Can't decide whether to run errands or take half a Xanax and putter around the house.

I am so full of anti-anxiety meds that people can probably calm down just by standing near me.
