Baby! And with the same middle name as me!
Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ugh, meara. And Zen. That's awful.
We had an order ship out wrong, for reasons that really truly have nothing to do with me, and the department who is responsible is desperately looking for any other thing to hold against those of us who are just bystanders. Argh. If they'd answered my questions on Friday maybe they wouldn't have as big an audience for this mess.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, meara and Zen, that's exactly the situation my husband is in, and he's so miserable. We cannot both quit our jobs simultaneously, so he's got dibs on it if it gets too bad.

It's amazing the messes that occur when people will just not admit to things. It's my least favorite plot device in stories, as well. I've learned that I get a lot of bonus points if I just come right out and say to a manager "I goofed up and did this, can you help me fix it?"

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Welcome Francesca!

I look more rad than Lutheranism
True story:We just ran out of gas. On the highway. Because the person who has been driving the car all week (spoiler: NOT ME) didn't notice the car was on empty. I'm partly full of raaaaaage, but also partly amused that this happened while we were driving to a board meeting for the ADHD group.

Tom has zero awareness of the car's gasoline needs, it's pretty funny. I try to remember to gas up before leaving town.

One of our friends is bringing us gas, and we have a great view of a car fire (seriously, the whole thing was ENGULFED in flames), so it's all good.
