Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

It's nice to see other people type on Amibien...Ambienishly.

Polgara, I'm sorry for you loss, and despite not reading what you deleted, my heart goes out even more to you for its complexity.

My brain is fucking with me so hard that I can't face going to work--the one where one of my "interesting" relatives when full Miley (while dating the Biebs) was bad enough, but last night I woke up in sheets of tears because I let a great-grandson get hit by a car and lose an arm.

I don't understand how to start the day after all that. I'm not hungry, I'm just disgusted and feel sorry for myself for no reason because even though nothing happened, everything was felt.

Even the Maytag man isn' cheering me up. I can't be sick again. Maybe I can work from home on an off day.

Art Crawl!!!

Ah, well, domesticated adult silk moths starve to death. I don't know if wild silk moths (the species that the domesticated version is from - is still out there) also die of starvation.

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

Become adult and just start dying from starvation? Damn. That is hardcore.

I'm sorry, ita, that's rough to have your dreamworld fuck with you like that.

All sorts of reasons to have adolescent angst right there.

Right? How amazing the adolescent poetry of the domestic silkworm must be.

Do they know they're going to die? Maybe their poetry is all about the things they'll do, the places they'll see, what's this uncomfortable constricting sensation?

Possibly even more amazing, to an audience that knows what's coming.

I've woken up from dreams so upsetting I had to take a day to recover (the memory of the one where Hubby was buried in the front yard still has the power to freak me out)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

It's not at all unusual in the insect kingdom for the adults to be All About Teh Sex... and nothing more. Mayflies, for instance.

Earless dragons and mouth less moths, they fight crime?

I am confused why my alarm did not go off. Woke up at 9am. My phone had turned itself off, I think-- I thought maybe I hadn't plugged it in right and it ran out of battery, but no, it is at 99%. WTF, phone??
