I can't stop thinking about mortality these days. Another childhood friend's parent died--I was considering going back for the service but then it became all about my disc. My parents, their wishes, their deaths, their things, dealing, not dealing...
Murk: But you're a God! The Sacred Glorificus! Glory: I'm a God in exile. Far from the Hellfires of Home and sharing my body with an enemy that stabs my boys in their fleshy little stomachs!

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

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I'm sorry ita, that's rough. My condolences.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I hope it's all stuff that's easy to sort and throw out or donate.
I'm afraid I dealt with that level of stuff already, but literally have no idea, as I have been ignoring it all for six months!
My parents, their wishes, their deaths, their things, dealing, not dealing...
Uh huh.

Yeah, we're right at that age--too young to say out loud you're thinking about your own, but old enough you're feeling surrounded.

My parents said we were gonna discuss estate-type stuff while my siblings were around, but we never did. Oops. Oh well, I know they have plans in place and have a vague idea what they are. With luck it won't be an issue for a while yet...

I read this [link] wrong the first time and thought the guy said he was offering to drive drunk. But no--drive drunk people. And he helped a DUI driver confess and see justice, and tangentially led me to this site [link] where you can get "because I said I would" promise cards you can fill in, which I think is very interesting. I need more and more to keep me committed to anything, really. There's a lot of pointlessness going around.

It is my anniversary today, which means it is also JZ's birthday, I think! Happy birthday JZ!
Ten years, right? (TEN YEARS??????????)

Happy anniversary, Sparky! Happy birthday, JZ!
I once again want to strangle ita's doctors.
I'm getting a transfusion. In response to a standard checklist of symptoms (Any nausea or vomiting? Any flu-like symptoms? Have your medications changed? etc.), the woman behind me did a five-minute disquisition on how scrambled eggs made her nauseated, but not egg salad or any of a long list of egg-containing foods, so she thought that it couldn't be an allergy to eggs but maybe to the butter. Then she tried to get the nurse to diagnose a skin problem.

Good luck with the transfusion, Ginger.
The woman behind you reminds me of the recent xkcd about saying "people are stupid" which ignores the fact that people of average intelligence (or very smart people for that matter) can still be stupid. And are. Often.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Ugh, Ginger. She sounds like quite the special snowflake.
