It is so good to read that your birthday turned out perfect. So, you're getting a camel?!?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Sadly, no. What I am getting is this: [link] on a black t-shirt. t bounce bounce bounce

MM should know better than to let "Camels R Us" show up on the bank statement if he wants it to be a surprise.
I'm glad the majority of your birthday was great!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Awesome shirt, Aims. I'm sorry for the OMGWHAT folks invading your birthday like that, but glad that all in all it was great. And happy belated.
And also, I think of you whenever I see a camel.
In other news: tahini. It's so good. It's so tasty. Makes one want to accept it as a personal savior and preach its miracles to those who never heard about it.
Really. That good.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Bouncy bouncy, indeed.

I really hate the term "fucktard". Maybe it is because of my line of work, but it's just beyond ugly. There is a lot of contempt packed into it, and while it is being directed at people who are behaving contemptibly, it also drags some other people into the contempt who do not deserve it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Somehow group behavior seems to just amplify individual's bad behavior.
I think somehow some people figure they can hide behind it and not get called out, and even though you know there's backchannel it's really easy to ignore that it could ever be about you, and negative. Entitledness just needs silence to feed it, really.
I'd never invite them to anything again--it's easy for us to say that, because we don't know the good times, why you were friends with them in the first place, but it would be my reflex to not just avoid the unpleasant situation that you can't fix, but to just not be around them for causing a stupid and unpleasant situation in the first place. I'm harsh and unforgiving, though.
