Natter 72: We Were Unprepared for This  

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.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

Because you are still functioning at all in the face of everything. I'm fucking awed at you, and I'm not related.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Seriously.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

What Typo Boy Typed.

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

Dude. ita. You made a low-glycemic pie on a weeknight. You are amazing!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

One of the reasons I have so much trouble talking about my childhood in therapy is that I start asking myself, "If it really was that bad, then how did I actually get through it all?"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, two things. People get through all kinds of shit. (As we see just on this board!) And it's because they are strong people and figured out how to get through it, with whatever coping mechanisms were necessary.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

House is cleaned for my parents' visit. We're pretty lazy about stuff like vacuuming, only doing it when we are going to have house guests.

Meanwhile, it's still raining, and probably will do so all weekend. Great.

Sometimes I think the only control we have over our lives is what stories we tell ourselves to make sense of what we do and what happens to us, but we don't exactly have perfect control even over that.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I would pay folding money for someone to come clean this pit for me. I'm a slovenly housekeeper at the best of times, but after two weeks of being sick, my house is a sty. I have enough energy to be bothered by it, but not enough to fix it.

Sometimes I think the only control we have over our lives is what stories we tell ourselves

I've thought that too.
