I've finally realized some of the part of it I don't get is having lived in the same place for 30+ years.
My parents have owned our house for more than 30 years, and my father intends to decay there. He's planning railings and ramps and all sorts of things that you don't even know about for sure yet, since his vision has gotten quite better since he came to Fl for surgery and my mother insists she'll keep doing yoga and improver her mobility. You never know what accommodation will be. But they do not have a neighbourhood community, although a family that's kinda like Hydra. Will I move back? Could I move back? Could I not move back?
From my cousin's funeral, I realise I might have to move back (at least for a while) for my sister. She will fall apart if my mother dies. The cancer was pretty hard on us all, but I think we're psychically better off for it. Death won't do that.
Hey, meet Feminist Frank. It's not a numerous meme, but it is amusing.
I love shows with dancing scenes where you can tell a) who has zero rhythm, who took the classes as a kid, who picked it up pretty well during pre-eo training, and who's Dule Hill. (I also love people discovering Dule Hill, BTW).
eta: I'd either not take your class or sob in the corner continuously. I try not to avoid my racial/slavery triggers (a la not watching 12 Years Of Slavery Yet, if ever--maybe with a binkie and a best friend who's given up on judging me).
Flea, is the oxy theft an ongoing issue ? I'd be raising all kinda of hell over that, that's a huge problem. Dang.
As of yesterday afternoon, our house in Washington is officially sold. Thank fuck.
Good riddance to that stressy burden, Dana, even if that underseller fucked your price.
I'm looking for art help. I'm pretending I'm confident enough to hang something I've drawn, and there's a sale on deviantArt prints until tomorrow midnight Pacific. If you have the time, anything here you'd recommend (SFW if you're not logged into dA with adult settings--and I don't want to print porn anyway)? I can't judge me.
I did print out many of my recent digital pictures because I like my paper files, and even if I can't get notes on my last picture (::sob::), I do feel a bit better about myself and my ability to make pictures.
Can I start and finish this one idea today and still get my job done. Let's see.
Right there with you.
Sorry you're in the same boat, sarameg. Apparently I've been under the bus since last night while I was watching Cosmos and deliberately not checking my work email.
I went to meditation this morning even though I didn't really have time, because this day is not going to improve.
Congrats, Dana!
Go, ita with the art! I will try to take a look after work.
re: trigger warnings for college classes
I totally read this as "this post may remind you of college classes to traumatic effect" at first. More seriously, I was just talking to a couple of my co-workers about how two of us haven't been able to bring ourselves to watch 12 Years a Slave yet and the third just watched it the other day and cried and cried so she was glad to be at home and not in a theater.
Sorry about the buses, people who have been thrown.
I am relieved to have only one meeting today.
These pictures are supposed to contrast mainstream and edgy over decades, but when she hits decades I know more about, the less edgy she feels.
eta: Thanks, -t!
That's great, Dana!
I'm sorry the day's started badly for some.
Feminist Frank and the Hey Gurl memes should be a rare slash pairing for Yuletide.
It is a super good idea, and pretty good photos, but the costumes/hair/make-up could use some more research/experience and attention to detail, I think. But it is a student project.
