In that order, Steph?
I'd go with booze first.
I am OVER it today. I have to go on a field trip tomorrow. I am not looking forward to this.
Jimmy Olsen jokes're pretty much gonna be lost on you, huh?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
My condolences, Liese.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Thanks, y'all, I appreciate it. Ima get me some quality msbelle/Daisy Jane time on Thursday, and I have lots of great support, including youse guys, so we're all doing pretty well. The SO will join me in a couple of days and then a few of Dad's siblings will be coming in from Hawaii for the funeral, so we're going to have some good family time. We've decided to cremate and then will take his ashes back home to Hawaii sometime in a year and a half or so (so heads up, my island or island-inclined Buffistas!) which will be nice.

Beautiful idea. I have become very attached to the idea of marking the first anniversary of someone's death in a deep and symbolic way.
So my stylist just came over and gave me a bit of color and a blow dry. I am feeling very purty, at least in the hair department. My hair is longer than it's been in years, like below my bosom.

quester's dream about ita reminded me of my dream a couple nights ago, but since it wasn't about her I figured I'd share it over here.
My memory of the whole dream is rather fuzzy, but it took place in a busy restaurant and I was there with family and friends. We were waiting to be served, and there was a good bit of chaos, not bad dream levels exactly, but sort of stressful. Chief among those present was my parents and my sister, and at some point my dream self wondered if I should be concerned about attending an event in which the dead played such a prominent role. But on the other hand, family, so I stayed.

I just caught up on "how to get away with murder" and man. It is so confusing I don't even know who did what to who or why, anymore! Or who is lying and who isn't or who knew what when....I can't keep track! It's too much, Shonda!

You know the lantern we Cincinnati Buffistas made for ita last September? It was bad enough knowing that we would need to make one for Ginger this year, but god DAMN I am going to need at least 2 lanterns to list all my people (and that's just from the first 3 months of this cursed year).
So, look. I don't want to make a lantern for any of the rest of you for a LONG TIME. So just stay put.
