I kissed him, and I told him that I loved him. And I killed him.

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

Ugh, JZ, that's awful!

Fucking shitsquib, JZ. what a waste of the sweat his mother expended bringing him to birth. Pro tip: If you kill him, don't take anything.

(Suddenly Simon's headache clears up, before he gets the advil open. He doesn't know why. He smiles, but only briefly.) Which intensity, I think is why people ask him about the Sopranos finale so often...he and Chase don't look like each other, and yet? Resemblance. On the wrong day, though, I wouldn't, even as chick, approach either one without a cup.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

She's a she, a nurse, and claims to be a good and loving one who advocates like hell for her patients. I told her this was untrue, she's a bad nurse, and she reminds me of the nurse who pushed me to suicidal thoughts years ago (I outlived her, by God I did).

I could still kick her ass, not as thoroughly as my fake husband/ AU! real dad(I know what my mom likes, after a fashion...it could've, but it didn't, but much like Oz "it would explain a lot...") But I did promise him I'd #MowTheInternet and she sounds like just the right piece of crabgrass to start with. ETA: there is also a reason "meaning well is no excuse" is a slogan in the disability community. some of the worst people I've ever met are women in the "helping professions".

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

Timelies all!

Sorry you encountered that infuriating asshole, JZ.

I feel dumb for going so very nuclear, but I didn't even know it was a trigger until now. Being at his deathbed was a life-defining event, and someone flat-out telling me I'm lying about it just caused the entire universe to white out. All I wanted was to cause her pain.

Anyhow, she's blocked now, so even if I do go back she can't get at me. I just don't get it. Buffista nurses are the best; how are so many other nurses managing to be the very worst?

Ugh. That's discouraging.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Well that sucks, JZ. Who comes at people about discussing their parents’ deaths? What a jerk.

I got the news today that my cat Leifur had kidney disease. He’s 17 and the likely prognosis is 2-3 years, which would kinda take him to the expected lifespan of a mostly indoor cat anyway, but it still has me a little down. He seems comfortable and interested in things for now, which is good to see.

In other news, I’m watching a Columbo episode and having the unusual experience of watching Leonard Nimoy being thoroughly villainous. That’s rather fun.

The lie that gets to me is when people, like, con their kids into explaining why taxes aren't fair, or some bollocks like that.(I mostly don't comment, though, but I could hurt my eyes when they roll like that.) I hope people don't full-on *lie* about deathbed things... things might *feel* some kind of way without the depiction being straight-up, textbook accurate, but I don't think that's a lie, exactly.(Not that you did, JZ, but every conversation is not a deposition, and that should be all right. Except Gus Straley sock-puppet shit...screw that) Yeah, disturbing fits...

Of course it's a trigger. That person stepped on a land mine, and you exploded, completely justifiably. I'd wanna fuck them up too, and I'm sorry to say I've mostly gotten past feeling bad about it.
