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

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.

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!

Our wings are not tired.
I have a friend who got married on All Fool's Day.
I wanted to do this, but my mom and step-dad had a concert scheduled to perform at that day so I changed it to St. Patrick's day. I could have asked them to not go, but I didn't want to do that. They probably would have been okay with mom, but they had far fewer men in the chorus and he would have been missed.
