WS, do you read Slacktivist? That's something he talks a lot about -- the incredible difference in mindset between someone who, on discovering that a terrible rumor is demonstrably untrue, is genuinely relieved that the world isn't as bad as they thought it was, and someone who discovers the same thing and doubles down because something in them actually wants that catastrophe, that enemy, that object of righteous fury and hate.
Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

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.

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Kick ASS. It is barely noon and I have two loads of laundry in, and a crapload of vegetables roasting in the oven. Done and done!

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
JZ, I haven't read that, but I was sort of expecting something like this. I am suppressing the urge to self-righteously preach on worrying over lies being a triumph for the devil. Best thing I can do is just let it go. Nothing I can say will change her mind.

I have a ton of work to do this weekend, so I opted for a change of scenery and headed to Starbucks. OMG, I like the weekday crowd better than the weekend crowd. I should have known better. But I was able to move to my favorite corner after only an hours worth of work. So here I am, headphones in, music blasting, churning away at work and dreading hitting the line again when I want a refill.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
It is almost noon, and I just woke up! Antihistimine gronk, I blame you. But I have coffee, and I'm sitting in a sunbeam, so I should be mobile in a while.
Then I have a kid's bday party to go to, which should be fun. It's sunny and cool here.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Huh, my former coworkers just posted a thing on our program's FB page, saying the same thing mentioned above (the page is accessible but won't be updated). Clearly an email must have gone out.

I live in utter suburbia. A guy just came in Starbucks in pastel pink pants, matching polo shirt with a soft grey sweater vest. You go, Glen Coco.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider
Spent three hours at hospital for a sprained ankle that I got from stepping on a black walnut like it was a marble in a bad slapstick comedy. Crutches and Percocet (I don't wanna!) and my friend is grocery shopping for me. My first reaction after I fell was "I don't need this bullshit" because its not like I have a desk job --we'll, now I do. I'm just so happy it wasn't broken or fractured.
