I don't care if it is an orgy of death, there's still such a thing as a napkin.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Well, I'm not ita. Nor do I aspire to her talent of finding freaky shit.

No one should. That was a terrifying gift.

Belinda's head as a candleholder, that'd freak me out though.

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.

sarameg, I hope you are on the way to feeling better soon.

Bah, sarameg. I hope you feel better. I was hoping I was getting over my cold, but I'm coughing up big green gobs, so apparently not. Bleargh.

Plei - you invoked her name. I have chills down my spine at the mental image and she may have heard you!!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

In my experience that would be the end of the cold cycle, Consuela.

Hope you feel better soon, sarameg and Consuela. I'm carrying tissues everywhere because I'm a snot monster, and gulping down liquids constantly because I feel dehydrated.

A dear friend of mine had 1/3 of his colon removed on Friday so of course I'm shopping for semicolon t-shirts. Who has a favorite one?

edit: Or is that image too tied to suicide prevention?

Feel better, sarameg.

Headed home from Thanksgiving weekend. It was a lovely weekend. TCG and I managed to fit in a movie, a dinner out at a local Indian restaurant, and two coffee dates all without ltc.

I have wrapped a string of Christmas lights around my balcony rail. I'm going to have to find a place to put my little tree.

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

My flight home transferred through Oakland today, and I realized I probably haven't been to the Bay Area since the early 80s

You should do something about that at some point. Congrats on the bonus! Boo on the cold.

All the colds. My sinuses are limping along okay, but I am reminded that Mucinex has historically been more successful for me, maybe I should pick some up.

BTW, my niece is turning 18 in a couple weeks, and she asked for donations to Standing Rock in lieu of gifts. So if anyone feels the need to rage donate, feel free to donate in her honor. I haven't found a way to do that officially (have it be in her name or something) but the thought would be good.

I also got a new phone yesterday. My old 5s decided to stop recognizing some inputs from the touchscreen, notably numbers that are in my passcode, right at the beginning of yesterday's race. Which was frustrating as all get out. So my parents kindly stopped at the Apple store on the way home and bought me an SE as an early birthday present (or, as I told the salesperson who was helping us, all the presents for whatever for a while). So my 39th place in my age group race is undocumented by my fitness apps, but shiny new phone!

I think the semi-colon short for your friend is a nice gesture, aurelia. I don't have favorite to recommend, though.

Once again, cannot find my motivation. Maybe I'll look for it after this football game.
