Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

This Monday is horrendous so far. We are 75% of the way through a project, and the client has decided now is the best time to question every single aspect of what we're doing.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

K and I are waiting for a train to take us home from a weekend con in NYC. Train is delayed, my foot hurts, but it was fun and we made a new friend, can't complain (much).

JZ, so good to see your pixels again!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The physical therapist is here asking all the intake questions, and Tim is constitutionally incapable of giving a simple answer to any question. The answer to "Do you use a CPAP machine?" has lasted for 3 minutes now (I set a timer). It's driving me insane to listen to, and I bet it's driving the PT nuts, too. I'm tempted to leave the room, except I feel like I should be here.

Our wings are not tired.

My cousins of the heart!

but it was fun and we made a new friend, can't complain (much).

Sorry about the issues, but yay for fun and adventure.

K is my partner Kathryn, for those who haven't been following my FB. Or even those who have, I don't post that much.

Making a simple yes or no question into a soliloquy is one of my talents also. Carry on, Tim, my brother in Hamlet

Ha, yeah, I am the queen of qualifiers when answering questions sometimes.

Compassionately intolerant

Much love, healing, travel smoothing, anniversary celebrating, pain reducing, job enjoying, relationship geebling, transition supporting, and all-around comforting vibes, to all!

When I first came to the Board, it was after running from the eye-bleed, panic-inducing layouts of every other board I'd visited. It's so clean and calm here for an always sensitive, but especially visual noice avoiding, person like myself.

And, just now, I appalled myself by thinking, "Gee, I wish there was an emoji button."

I DIDN'T MEAN IT. I momentarily lost my mind. I'll lie down on the floor until it passes.

(And still, I just want to interact with and support all your posts. Even when time and focus are not available.)

Always Anti-fascist!

If I am just talking to you, I might do that. Maybe a tangent or two, though I am getting better at connecting them to whatever my larger point was, these days. But not with, you know, a bureaucrat or an intake such as Tep describes...sometimes, the one place I wish I could be like a militia man and make up a rank and serial number for myself, or almost. You wouldn't recognize me. But I have learned the hard way that there are places where being completely Myself doesn't pay off.

Are he and Brendon related? I have no issue with Yes/No. Queen of brevity. This did not serve me well with school papers because they didn't appreciate the conciseness.
