Hooray, Sophia!
sj, I'm sorry that LTC does not realize that she is, in fact, sick. Much ~ma as you wrangle her over the next few days.
Aren't they something. They're like butterflies, or little pieces of wrapping paper blowing around.

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

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

I seriously, seriously could not have done it without you guys! Your support, emotionally and with your generous gift of funds made this possible. And it was a good wake up call that if I wanted my life to stop sucking, I needed to take action, and I am pleased by the action so far, even though I am still a complete nervous Nellie.
Did I tell you I signed up for a four course master's level Instructional Design Certificate (I wanted to make sure I quit theatre). If I do well/don't hate it, I can transfer them to a master's in Education. And I received a very good compliment from someone at work (not to my face, it was in conversation with another person who shared because she thought it would make me feel good.). A newish, but well-thought of faculty member said that I should be encouraged to get my PhD, because I had such good thoughts would do good research. That person pointed out that I didn't have my Master's and the faculty member was SHOCKED (which is a weird thing about academia I hate) and said I had to do it because the School needs people like me who are good thinkers to move up through the ranks.

That's a huge compliment, Sophia!! And yay for your inspection!!
this morning I felt all jittery, like I had too much caffeine (I didn't--only had half my usual cup of coffee) and now this afternoon I just feel super out of it. Boooo. TGIThursday?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Yay, Sophia!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
That's excellent news, Sophia.
Catching up quickly. Sympathies especially to Steph, Zen and amyth.

Meanwhile, here at home, every single state in Australia is currently on fire. The government is trying to outlaw protests against climate change.

I'm so glad for you Sophia!
Gud, I'm so glad to hear from you. I wish you could see yourself from my perspective, and feel how much respect and confidence I have in you!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Ugh, billytea, I'm sorry.
