Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

In my imagination, upstate New York is full of sirens and Cyclopes and so forth.

It's NOT?!?

Update on the maybe-married friend: at least one person has commented on the FB post with "Wait, what???" Which isn't quite the same as "IS THIS FOR REAL???" but close. I've decided to just watch it unfold without commenting. (Which, in the end, may make me a dick for not offering congratulations on a real wedding, but hey -- you get married for real on April Fools' Day and announce it without a disclaimer that it's for real, then you risk my extreme disbelief.)

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

That seems fair, Tep.

It's NOT?!?

COuld be, as far as I know. Sophia?

Does that make Syracuse and Scranton scylla and charybdis?

I'd just offer nothing, Steph. Doesn't make you dick at all.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Not an April Fools joke - I have fucked up no less than 3 big things for today. UGH!

More update: the bride commented and said, "I got married. I know it's strange, but it felt right and I'm very happy."

I fully admit that I'm still wondering if it's an elaborate prank, but I'm going to go ahead and congratulate her anyway.

(I can't begin to understand her personal life; in October she and her live-in boyfriend of 4 years broke up, and 2 months later the boyfriend was engaged to a new girlfriend who's 16 years younger than him, and then the bride in question quickly got back together with a long-ago ex, who she apparently just married. I need a diagram to keep it all straight.)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So it's just like HIMYM in real life, then?

Never watched it, so...maybe?

Also not an April Fool's joke: My regular bar for the last ten years is closing! I am seriously bummed about this, there are no other cool bars in my neighborhood!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, my god, sans-serif fonts. How is it possible for someone to consistently type a capital I when they mean lower-case l? Why do I have to keep changing things into Times New Roman to double-check the freaking letter? How is this my life?
