Zoe: What's that, sir? Mal: Freedom, is what. Zoe: No, I meant what's that? Mal: Oh. Yeah. Just step around it. I think something must've been living in here.

Every non-ita FB post on my feed has really thrown me.

Me too.

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

I was starting to feel like I need to go do something, don't know what. I don't think there is anywhere in walking distance (don't want to drive, I know how I drive when random crying jags hit and it's not safe) where I can get goat, or ting, or meat patties or even steel-cut oatmeal, but the dinner on my meal plan for tonight is pork tenderloin wrapped in bacon, and that feels kind of appropriate somehow.

Lloyd and I have been watching Buffy, because he's never seen it all. We watched The Body last week, and we just finished season five. It's all just sitting in the pit of my stomach.

Oh, me too. And I just had to explain pink gingham to my brother. Seems like everyone should just know.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Yeah, it feels like all those Buzzfeed shiticles should be like:

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

vw, I've been doing the same thing with Ben. So the b.org folks have already been on my mind and now I don't know if I'm happy or sad to start tonight's episodes.

Lilty Cash, I'm not sure I can watch tonight.

move out and draw fire

We're watching SPN, getting Mal caught up so we had to start all over, and tonight it's half tribute and half painful.

I have the awesomest work team, and although it's an open office they were perfect about me weeping at my computer and also wanting to talk. We talked a bit about how online mourning is good in that we're not all having to wait for the funeral to share the good stories and stuff.

Thrive to spite them

I was rude-ish to a customer today who was dithering over a $40 landline phone an dwanted to open it even though it was sealed (spoiler alert she bought a totally different one she liked without opening it). When i tried to explain, it was sealed she pulled the "But I'm a customer" line that I hate. Outside I was trying my best to be polite.

Inside I was raging some kind really mean spirited Anya fruit punch speech and I wanted to yell at her about how could she care so much about forty dollar land line phone when my friend is DEAD!!

I didn't do that. But all day I kept coming back to this feeling of "how can you act like everything is fine? My family is in mourning. One of our own is gone and how can you people act like everything is fine?

Which is irraational , they don't know ita, but still. I fel the same when my cousin died.

So this is what it feels like to not be able to even. Because I haven't been able to even all day. So yeah, I can't even.

It's weird. I honestly hesitate to use the word friend, because it's not like we were ever close, and we hadn't directly communicated in forever. But it's still...

Yeah.
