Mal: That's not what I saw. You like to tell me what really happened? Book: I surely would. And maybe someday I will.

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

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
Glad they finally got to you, Tom.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Tom, I'm glad you got your meds finally. Know that I can fully empathize with the fuckery that is trying to deal with stuff like that.
Rough therapy this morning. I need to do something to turn this day around.
