this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

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?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

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

You can always blame the algorithm for not showing you the post right away.

I need to post about a bunch of gear the theatre is giving away but I'm afraid people will think it's a joke.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have a friend who got married on All Fool's Day. In her verifiable defense, I was chief bridesmaid.

Also pre-FB.

You know there are some people who get married on April 1st (or Halloween)? They are definitely those people.

DON'T MARRY AN IMPROVISER, FOLKS.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

I was prepared to give an update at a meeting this morning, but of course it ran long and they didn't get to me. I guess I could email the update, but I'm feeling vaguely indignant because I actually did a thing! I got something done! I'm totally doing stuff, guys!

I am awaiting details.
