Dude! I'm holding Paperdol's book! It's made of awesome!
I have to log off and feed Baby D now, but as soon as he's calmed down I'll start reading it aloud to him so he'll know all about the interwebs by the time he's old enough to sit up and type.
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

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

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

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Nice!
That was fast. Now I have to find out where JZ and deb's copies have run off to.
Jessica...I use filthy language. A lot. Baby D will be all, "feed me, motherfucker."

Jess, you realize that once he's old enough to be online, he's going to be all you had to TYPE?! Dude, that's [insert whatever slang has replaced harsh/whack/etc]!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Going up to NJ this weekend for Live Earth. Should be fun, if I don't melt.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think I need to have a nervous breakdown. I'm just wondering how I get over that initial hump of crazy. Are there forms you need to submit, or anything?

You need to have someone handy who can take care of everything, though, while you go through a graceful, poetic decline. It's the biggest downside to being a competent, independent adult, there's no one handy to pick up the slack when you decide to have a good long-term swoon.

Those are very true words.
Dammit. Nervous breakdown TBD.

What is even happening?
I have nothing to add to the wank discussion except to say that I'm making a muffuletta for dinner. For reals.
First you make a baby, now this. Is there nothing you won't try?
I think I need to have a nervous breakdown. I'm just wondering how I get over that initial hump of crazy. Are there forms you need to submit, or anything?
You might be having one, right now. I think I had one this winter, or at least was on the brink, but I never realized it until I was better, and neither did anyone else (at least not anyone who thought I ought to be hospitalized or anything).
You need to have someone handy who can take care of everything, though, while you go through a graceful, poetic decline.If it's graceful and poetic, it's probably not a nervous breakdown.
I don't even think they give a 'nervous breakdown' diagnosis any more, which is a total rip-off.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
total rip-off
I know? Women on the Verge of a Hairy-assed Huge Anxiety Attack just doesn't have the same ring to it.

I may be confusing it with those old-fashioned standards "a decline" or "the vapors" (which I think is just gas).
