The doorbell just rang while I was on the phone with my mother, and thankfully I didn't hang up, because it got me out of a conversation with Jehovah's Witnesses. They just handed me a copy of The Watchtower and left.
We die horribly and painfully, you go to hell and I spend eternity in the arms of baby Jesus.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Aw, Amy, that's adorable.
The friends we stayed with in Nairobi were in that mall the day the hostage situation started, but left beforehand. They lost friends, which I guess isn't very surprising, but I am okay with being the selfish person that's just glad that they're okay.
Shit, ita, I'm so glad that they're OK, but so sorry about their friends. That's awful.
And I hope you have a sympathetic ear at your meeting today. It makes me so mad on your behalf that people are questioning your dedication to your work! You're one of the hardest-working people I know, especially (but not only) because of the fact that you are usually working through debilitating pain. I hope someone there understands what you are going through.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Sickness sucks. It should go away and leave us all alone.
Yes, except in the very limited exception for me today, since it's letting me bypass Monday and go back to sleep.

not your mom's socks.
In fun (for me) news, two of the kids at the office just found out about the Animorphs I ghostwrote and they're officially freaking out. So cute.
Awesome.
Feel better, Buffistas.
ita, I'm glad your sister's (?) friends are ok. I want to thwack anyone who is asking you to prostrate for anything. Enough already.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I was talking to a woman who went to her brother's wedding over the weekend. He paid for 3 groomsmen to fly out and be part of the wedding. They decided to BAIL and take a vacation. Never showed up to the wedding!
So the woman had to run around and be best man, etc.
Can you imagine?

Because books.
Are you kidding? So they used the tickets but didn't come to the wedding?!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
That is beyond rude and veering into criminal.

WTF?!? That is the weirdest and shittiest thing I've heard re: a wedding. Who does that, for one, who does that to a friend, to a wedding, but who does that with someone who is in theory a close enough friend to be a groomsman?!?!
