Spike: At least give me Wesley's office since he's gone. Angel: He's not gone. He's on a leave of absence. Spike: Yeah, right. Boo-hoo. Thought he killed his bloody father. Try staking your mother when she's coming on to you! Harmony: Well…that explains a lot.

Yay vaccines!!

I had crazy dreams last night (one of which I was v annoyed to wake up in the middle of and not be able to get back to) but in several cases boiled down to “damnit I really want someone to be into me and me be into them” and this stupid pandemic is the WORST.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Yay negative tests!

Yay new school friends.

I had crazy dreams last night

me too. mine were not at all about wanting mutual attraction. A mobile home with drug using, drug dealing family that vacated the place overdue on rent...I was there to watch a child or something, was caught unawares with them vacating and got caught up in a mess of cops, a bunch of abandoned pets, other drug dealers wanting money, and super super weirdly injured celebrities which I am not sure how that got tied in, but we definitely had people in gowns one of whom was shot and 911 was called.

Aw, good going Matilda!

I heartily approve of your detour into WWII era 4-f standards, JZ!

I should be making use of a free Sunday to catch up on all kinds of housecleaning, but I would not advise anyone to bet their money on that happening.

I had a dream that only one of the Queer Eye guys was real, and the others were just in that one guy's imagination.

Which one was real, Dana??

I was thinking about that, and I don't know. Maybe Bobby?

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

That is an excellent dream, Dana!

And YAY for testing negative!

Compassionately intolerant

Bobby strikes me as the most real QE irl. Though, I've actually dreamt about Tan before. It had something to do with French Tucks and him taking credit for them and feeling really guilty.

Yay for vaccines, Pix. I'm so glad you hear you are clear.

I took a home test last week and was negative, but am wondering if you can still have symptoms when not contagious. Or if that requires a blood test. I've had these poleaxe symptoms that remind me of what Rio has dealt with. Though mine are not nearly as severe.

"beekaytee, I've already voted for you,"

Thanks so much JZ! I'm planning a move to Portugal next year and will be opening communication with the embassy this week. I'm hoping that a win will improve my pitch for visa sponsorship. Plus, it's likely to be the last year I compete and it would be nice to go out on top!

"also gotten regular jury duty calls. Usually twice a year, because I get one in my married name and another in my birth name (I'm still registered to vote as JZ, not JS, and I don't really want to change it because I like still having an excuse to sign that name every now and then)."

Oh dear. In this area, I would be forced to show up twice in that case. Wouldn't matter if I could prove I was not two different people.

Reminds me of when I was drafted in '81. Even had a bench warrant sworn against me for not properly registering for the draft. 5 years in jail and a massive fine. It took more phonecalls than it should have to prove I was not a boy.

The most recent time was a few months ago, but I totally forgot it due to family stuff and never checked in even once (in SF, you call a potential juror hotline once a day for 5 days in a row to see if you're supposed to come in and sit in the call room, and if you get called in one day but don't get chosen or never get called in at all you're off the hook for the next year, or the next 6 months if you're me). I'm pretty sure that if they'd actually called me in and I'd failed to show I would've been pinged by now about failure to show, so I assume I'm free for another few months.

SF is yearly? How can that be? DC has a smaller population and we only get called every two years! Huh.

Our wings are not tired.

I'm planning a move to Portugal next year

Tell me more!!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

I had a dream that only one of the Queer Eye guys was real, and the others were just in that one guy's imagination.

Amazing.

I'm trying (failing) to get back in the headspace to do the reading I need to finish for the class I'm taking this semester. We also have an assignment due *before* the first class which is part of a *group project* and thank goodness my project partner and I are on the same page about basically winging it because I literally CANNOT.
