We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Oof, David. Big hugs.

Gud, it looks lovely!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Awesome doctor thinks a GLP-1 med is a good idea, since the stress/long Covid weight is stubborn despite my exercise and diet. Just need to get insurance to cover it, which I'm guessing they will, since I also take meds for high blood pressure.

When we were talking about it, he said, "You know it's an injection, right? How do you feel about stabbing yourself?"
Me: "Honestly, my life has been lacking opportunities to stab anyone, but this seems like a good place to start."
Awesome doctor: "I knew you'd be cool."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Very inviting front of the house, Gud!

David, your wedding remains a highlight of that era. I will be so glad to see your face.

(Also, I think I'm mostly packed. Mostly. Apologies for the lack of color in my wardrobe, but "Film Noir Widow" was apparently the aesthetic I decided on before the recommended dress code. I think JZ would have highly approved of the seleced vintage dress, though.)

Packing is making me dread packing for our UK trip in September. Dear lord.

House looks lovely, Gud!

I have arrived in SF. I am very tired, as I am on East Coast tme with 3 hours of sleep and I can't sleep on planes.

Come stand by me; I'll be in pink! We'll be a little bit Wednesday and Enid.

A perfectly cromulent asethetic.

::stares at every piece of clothing in suitcase::

Possibly more than a little no matter what time this weekend we stand together. I mean, this is what I packed for Friday: [link]

Most of what's in the suitcase is along those lines.

I joke that the biggest thing I got from my hot minute adjacent to the fandom (before Lockwood & Co. ate me alive) was the massive regothification of my wardrobe.

Our wings are not tired.

I’m expecting to get to the hotel at about 7. Probably going to be a late dinner somewhere close by. I’ll have to look at the map in walking distance if The Line as we will return the car after the excursions today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I am so sorry that I can't be there with you all in SF this weekend. David, I hope the memorial is everything you want and need it to be. I wish I could give you some big hugs in person.

All of this from me as well.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My SF wardrobe is about as colorful as it can be, given the amount of colorful clothing I own, which is Not A Lot. I think my colorful hair makes up for it.
