Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

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

It's a cream of mushroom soup so the thickness is a lot of the texture fun. I think tapioca is out, but a bean product might be good. Rice derivative is only good, I think, if brown?

Konjac would be perfect! Just a matter of finding it.

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

Caring even a little bit about what I'm wearing on the weekend is throwing me for a loop. Getting dressed is hard.

Eta: settled on an acceptable combination of jeans and a t-shirt. Whew!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I was just coming to post that it's kind of sad to catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror on the way out the door and realize that you aren't even dressed well enough for a 9:00 Saturday morning trip to Target.

I went anyway, since I am an adult and we get to do that, but still

I maintain an aggressively fuck-it-I-don't-care attitude about what I wear to grocery shop. Sweats and crocs are fine! That's right, I have given up, deal with it world.

I'm hanging out with Mom today, though, which requires slightly more effort, apparently.

Because books.

I have gone to the grocery store braless, no makeup, wearing a ball cap over unwashed hair. Do I win?

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

I have only done McD's drive thru braless.

Congrats Matt on the Jesus Christ pound loss.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

Going braless is what my jean jacket is for.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I'd use less liquid -- to use less thickener for the soup.

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

My Paleo friend uses - I think - pureed cauliflower for thickening.

I don't go out braless because they're just too big. I rarely wear makeup at all anymore, and I have an assortment of hats and wide headbands for bad hair days/days I didn't feel like washing it. Buff headbands are great for covering the gray roots. I draw the line at wearing pajamas to the store, but sweats and yoga pants are fine.

I bailed on the movie group tonight. I'm still coughing and gross. At least tonight they're showing Magic and Chucky, so I'm not missing movies I would've really liked to see.

Speaking of movie group, did you all know Jack Daniels has a vanilla flavor whiskey?
