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

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

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!

I am awaiting details.

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.

I don't have a problem with people getting married on April Fools' Day (or any other holiday/day of notoriety), just to be clear. I was just stymied by a wedding announcement that didn't have a "this is real, seriously!" disclaimer, made on the internet on a day set aside for pranks.
t edit Plus, I am a paranoid jerk who doesn't like falling for pranks, so I disbelieve everything today.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I have made it my policy to just believe things (unless they are obviously very silly) and if it was someone joking about, for instance, getting married then fuck them. Basically.

I have made it known to all my friends that I will do my utmost to disrupt any pranks or practical jokes I become aware of. And that they do not amuse me. The majority of them have been thinly veiled opportunities for cruelty, and I am no fan of the perpetrators of such.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

True & Co. had a cute thing where they replaced all of the sizing with kittens today. That was fun. And fuzzy. Looking.

I'm loving the Google+ thing about David Hasselhoff photobombing pictures. That should be a real thing.
