Oh, wait, just one guy? I feel like Mormon missionaries always come in pairs.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

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

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Heading up to Baltimore for Balticon tomorrow. Should be fun.
Happy Birthday Java Cat!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Well, "generally," yes. [link]
Typically, missionaries work in pairs, called companionships. Sometimes there are more than two missionaries in a companionship but never fewer. And they’re not just companions—they’re roommates too. Companionships exist so missionaries can look out for each other. After all, most missionaries are working in places far from home. Their parents rest easier knowing they’re not out there alone.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Happy birthday, Java Cat!
Congrats to your DH, JenP! I’ll be happy to take that half dose of job~ma, as I was offered a “voluntary” severance deal late last week. I don’t have to decide until July, but I’ve already sent out seven job applications, had one interview, and got turned down for a different position.

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
Oh that sucks Calli. But I hope something awesome pops up right away.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Great news, JenP!
Matilda and I are in Manhattan! We got up at 3:30am for our flight and it wasn't direct, and both legs of it were delayed so we're really frickin' tired.
On the plus side, I watched Man From U.N.C.L.E. (Cavill / Cannibal version) again on the flight and it was just as stylish and cool and well made as I remembered.
Then I watched A Complete Unknown which I enjoyed despite some of its factual liberties.

Job~ma continuing your way, Calli! That's kind of nice you have time to decide. It would be really nice if you had the next thing lined up by then!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Good news, Jen! And good luck, Calli.

My nap felt really nice but now I am nauseous and headachey. Do not like. May be related to poor hungry choices after I woke up, and lack of caffeine, but either way, not happy.
