You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

You live too far away for me to find you a boyfriend, Rebecca. Not that I've ever found anyone a boyfriend before.

Seems likely?

That's my current theory for why this year I suddenly became the angriest mom in the world (sort of like that old comic "The Angriest Dog in the World" only without the restraint). Been taking a low dose of tryptophan for a few months and it has helped. I still get angry, but I no longer feel like I want to tear people's heads off.

Oh, yeah. Definitely.

I'm having hot flashes every night right now, it's just awesome. I love perimenopause. Sigh.

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

Buh-wuh?

Y'all are real people, right?

Y'all are real people, right?
Some days, I'm not so sure about myself.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Pokes self.

Ow. I feel real.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It doesn't sound like she was talking to herself in different guises, though, right? Just that there was only on poster on all those boards.

Because books.

We are real people and we are all going through menopause!

I think I might be done! I haven't had my period in three months. FINGERS CROSSED.

The emotional stuff is still ongoing, though. Irritatingly.

FTR, I'm still having IUD annoyingness -- and did I tell you my doctor suggested I might want another one after this, to get all the way through? I was like, "TEN MORE YEARS!?!?!??!"
