Timelies all!
I’m sorry for your loss, Daniel.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I immediately thought of Plei.
And here I thought I might have escaped that... :D

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.
Holding all of you in my heart, since I can't reach you with my arms (and some of us prefer warm thoughts to warm hugs anyway).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oof indeed. Safety is always an illusion, but that illusion should have lasted longer
Congratulations, WindSparrow! Well done. I’m so glad you have some official recognition for your hard work and expertise!
And here I thought I might have escaped that
I don’t think there was any chance of that

Yes, Hec. You've been thorough a hell lot.
WindSparrow, congrats!
Ceasefire is over here, for now. I guess we're back killing one another until Qatar and the US will tell us not to/this government will resign (I guess the war will continue for a while but at least there will be an achievable and acceptable end goal). I'm doing my part for the latter to happen as soon as possible.

They had said for days that the ceasefire would end, but it was something to have hope for a short time. I hope that the powers behind the scenes are still trying to make something happen more permanent.
Congrats, WindSparrow! Also, so lovely anytime we see you here.
I really do need to put in our reservation to visit.
Yes, this needs to happen. I'm checking the basketball schedule so I'll know when Brendon is available for a trip. Need some real hugs, not those insufficient virtual ones.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
We're officially in Buy A Car This Weekend mode, and the sales associate emailed me this morning to tell me the specific car we wanted (2024 hybrid Corolla with the deluxe accessories package [heated seats, moonroof, etc]) already sold. Bah. We have to decide if we want to wait for another one of those to come in, or go with a hybrid Corolla with a less fancy package. I guess it'll depend on how long it will take for the fancier version to come in.
That's definitely a diamond-shoes-are-too-tight problem, though. It's just that the part of me that's still in my 30s (and 40s) and budgeting carefully can't quite believe we can buy a brand new car. But once we narrowed down what we wanted and looked at what's available, the difference between new and even a 1-year-old used car was $1K. And anything more than 1 year old had super high mileage. So a 2024 it is.

Adios, George Santos, or whatever your name is. We hardly knew ya, and really don't want to so much.
Buying a car is so stressful! Yet, in the end you have a new car.
