We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

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

When I hurt my foot I managed to drive myself to the hospital using my left foot. I can't testify as to how well I drove since I was probably in shock, but I got there. Good thing it was an automatic.

-t, that's a good story.

I took my dad to an appointment and then out for beer and chicken pot pie at a local pub. So nice: quiet, cozy bar with soccer on the televisions and really good beer on tap.

And now I really should bake some cookies but I'm tempted to just go crash instead.

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

I'm not driving from West LA to Pasadena with my left foot. And back.

Also, if I can drive to the ER (and expect to drive back) I don't need to go.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

There's a conference in Oakland this weekend that would love to discuss that with you...:) (Butch Voices). I think you're working from a flawed premise with "femme", but...

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

OMG y'all, I came by, read, hoped to post, but I'm too pooped to write anything coherent.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Those maps were fascinating, bt.

One maps showed lightning strikes--why do Europe and Russia seemingly not get as many lightning strikes as everyone else??
