Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.

Hi Jen!

I quickly looked at Beep Me thread and fucking hell. That's a lot of heartbreak. I am sorry for all your losses.

I'm doing well, same job, same city (Pittsburgh). Made a long-delayed trip back to Korea last year after 25 years away, which loosened something in me. Trying to stay fit, but post menopausal metabolism just laughs at my face.

Dived head-first into K-pop fandom a few years back under the excuse of getting in touch with my roots, etc., made some friends, and now we are travelling to multiple cities to see BTS including a jaunt to Vegas last month and a trip to Europe in 2 weeks. Who would have thought this would be me 5-10 years ago, but I'm going with the flow, haha.

I figure, life is sad, and wonderful, and hella short, and it's up to us to squeeze what joy we can out of it.

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

That's the truth, Vonnie. So good to see you!

And sumi!

Well said. Love to hear about new friends and traveling for shows - fun!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Lovely to see you both and hear about good things happening.

That sounds fun Vonnie!!

But sad about ASH. I had enjoyed his turn at evil on Ted Lasso.

That which does not kill you should RUN

I had enjoyed his turn at evil on Ted Lasso.

He was delightful in that role.

Our wings are not tired.

True. So good to see Vonnie and sumi! It's good to have this place to grieve together.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

I had enjoyed his turn at evil on Ted Lasso.

I remember when he was evil on Dr. Who.
