Well, personally, I kind of want to slay the dragon.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Atropa, you should be able to just create a Fanlore account and add it.

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

::checks in with self::

Yep, still a lot of rage there. Let's just leave that simmering on the back burner, shall we?

Always Anti-fascist!

the only message that hit the same button as that friend request was when ex-stepfather sent me a "Happy Valentine's Day!" message after he moved out and left us all scrambling.(in different ways, of course, but...) Any time you read anything and think "Are you fucking crazy?" "Yeah,' is probably a decent answer, whether it passes actual clinical muster or not.

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

Yep, still a lot of rage there. Let's just leave that simmering on the back burner, shall we?

Flames on the side of my face FOREVER.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

My poor niece, who's only in her 40s, just found out she's going to lose most of her teeth and need dentures or implants.

Gum disease exacerbated by diabetes.

She's very distraught and heartbroken.

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

Timelies all!

Ugh. I woke a bunch of times for no reason.(Not for long-mostly just waking up, looking at the clock, and going back to sleep.)

Malice Domestic is this weekend, and I'm commuting it.(It's basically 2 stops on the Metro) It does mean getting up early Saturday and Sunday, as the panels start at 9 am. Still, books....

Thrive to spite them

Bingo is the dog. . he mostly stays right by M's mom. We don't have a leash so I can't try to take him for a walk yet. The yard is big enough for him to run around to do his business.

He basically cowers or growls when I'm around.

When he was originally brought here I played with him and he was fine and seemed to like me. Since then he doesn't like me.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Bingo is the dog.

I'm pretty sure you meant to say "Bingo is his name-O."

Matilda is running a fever, so she has spent the day in bed directly in opposition to my hopes and plans for her.

Any way you can be the one who feeds him, askye? If not, maybe just ignore him as much as possible. Don't try to pet him, but don't avoid him either. If he snarls or snaps and you retreat, he's gonna keep doing that.

Edit: I should say, "dog I cannot pet" is definitely a form of torture.

Our wings are not tired.

Tonight we went to the Brian Piccolo awards banquet honoring the top scholar athlete from each of the 41 high schools in Broward County. We sat at the table for the HS Brendon coaches basketball for, although the young man being honored does football, basketball, and track. Seeing and listening to these incredibly hard working and honorable young men is giving me hope for our future. The awards are based on scholastics, sports, and community service, as well as recommendations. How many of these incredible young men are immigrants? I can't know exactly, but I'll bet it is about 75%. So at the same time filled with hope seeing the level of accomplishment of our youth, and worried sick that they are hated by so many.
