Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG. I was going to feel like such a dumbass. crisis averted.

Pretty much my thought exactly.

This is all quite hilarious!

Because books.

I'm still confused. Oh! I get it. Heh.

MasterChefJunior is giving me a giant inferiority complex.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

The key to happy rabbit-owning is getting them young. I got my beloved Jerry Fodor when he was a wee just-weaned puffball tiny enough to fit in my pocket, and made sure he spent the rest of his bunny childhood being cuddled and handled and passed from one human to another to another; by the time he was grown, he associated the big two-footed creatures with chin skritches, butt-pats and nibbly treats, and he was pretty damn dear. He even got up onto my lap once when I was crying hopelessly over some misery or other and licked my tears (I'm not an idiot, I know he was just thinking, "Salty treats!", but it was very comforting nonetheless).

Bunny in a cage or in an outside hutch - grumpy and bitey. Much cuddled and socialized bunny - hoppy galumphy snoodlebug.

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

I've got my superhero name, now! Or super-villain might be more suitable. I'll have to think about appropriate powers and costuming.

Negative Image costume, obvi.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

I am not sure how you didn't cry harder with a bunny licking your tears. I'm not sure how it is possible to be happy again after that.

Damn. Poor JZ.

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

I didn't mean for it to be, but I'm open-minded on pronunciation.

I'm not sure how your intent would have made me feel more dumb for not figuring it out, but knowing you didn't mean it makes me feel a lot better.

And, uh, I have no idea why it just occurred to me now, but hey!

I just changed Colin's contact picture on my phone to his son. I'm way behind with the family, haven't met the kid, not even sure if the most recent name I heard is still his name, but Colin's face is out and NewFerg is in. Well, it was either those cutie pie cheeks or these [link] (I'm just kidding--it was never going to be those. But look at this [link] They should line all the doppels up...)

le n, it didn't make me happy but it made everything not-worse. Small wordless creature that gets concerned when I crumple down and make weird gaspy noises, and trusts me enough to put its face up to mine and snuffle at me? Makes the world a lot less unbearable.

This was the bunny in question. He was about twice that size by the time he snuffled up my tears. He was such a big ol' boo.

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

I'm finding the penis analyzer too amusing. It could be used as an aid for actors in developing character [link] !
