Aargh! I know I am getting old when I mix up Holli with shrift’s “real name”. I was so shocked when I learned it.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I discovered the buffista random quote generator and sought out the people who made the funny.
My origin story as well. I didn’t lurk for long.

Vortex was on Salon and got me to join in late 1999.
I made monkey bread prepped last night and put in the oven this morning, and it is delicious.

Merry Christmas/Happy Last Sunday of 2022 from a surprisingly balmy Seattle (50 F). I'm glad the ice melted in time for Christmas but my body is confused about no longer needing multiple layers and a puffy coat to venture outside.

Love to be out here in these streets giving incongruity.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Just went for a dip in the rooftop pool! It’s a balmy 20 degrees (F) outside with light snow. Wonderfully contradictory sensations.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Holli now refers to herself as a fandom old on Tumblr, which I guess is technically accurate but still makes me feel dead.

And yet, you and shrift are still 23!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I joined the Phoenix board in 2002, I think. I lurked for a while, jotting post numbers on scrap paper so I could find my place in threads before I realized the board would do that for me if I joined. I think NoiseDesign and I delurked the same evening while talking about it on AIM.

Thrive to spite them
So we had a partially thawed turkey this morning. and a huge one. It was put in the fridge from the freezer but it wasn't rotated around and I think the sides that were against the walls of the fridge stayed frozen.
You can cook a partially thawed (or frozen) turkey but it takes a long time. So we are hopefully in the last hour of the turkey cooking. I am honestly not sure what we are doing for sides, much like the way the rest of this holiday season has gone Christmas day had been relatively hapzard.
I also burned my hand on the edge of the lifeline and going toward my thumb . Vvery inconvenient.
