Wow. I just read the opening essay, and it's pure Allyson. She cuts with a sharp knife, and she cuts herself just as much as she cuts everything else.
And it kinda made me sniffle. Teensy bit.
Okay, um, I'm lost. Uh, I'm angry, and I'm armed, so if you two have something that you need to work out --

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

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

This just needed to be repeated. Maybe over and over and over.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Wow. I just read the opening essay, and it's pure Allyson. She cuts with a sharp knife, and she cuts herself just as much as she cuts everything else.Exactly this. I got to glance at a copy and now must head to Powell's tomorrow for my very own.

So what did I do the past 2 hours while shoveling fajita chicken chowder, strawberry shortcake into my face and smoking too much, hrm?
Only fair you should be teary. Between revisiting ita's and Nilly's stories in your words (and, um, the others, but those particularly required kleenex,) it's all your fault my face will be a puffy mess tomorrow. Oh and the Catalina one too, but that's just me being self-centered.
Somewhere in the Pikesville store are copies on a table, I am assured. However, since they are crazed monkeys and I had to be home to shoot the cat, I couldn't hit every table. Luckily there was one misfiled (um, in the Rs) in the humor section. Oh & when you come here, if you want to hit places in addition to Atomic, they showed interest at that B&N and my ex-coworker's store way up the road.
I'm composing my pimping and outing email to friends now.

I know what my weekend plans are: go get the book!
Right now I am lying on the couch filled with ennui and panic.

Alrighty. Sent the announcement email off to a couple krav instructors. One's a TV producer, and the other one is in charge of MTV's online community.
Now to pimp to a couple friends and some family.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
We got back about an hour or so ago from B&N with the book. I have read (or reread) most of it already. SO wonderfuly written, Dol! I am ordering a copy for my mom, so she can know about all my invisible friends. Also, I got thanked AND mentioned in it, so I am feeling way incredibly cool right now. And very lucky to know such a talented writer.

I am so very excited for Allyson! I'm glad I got to take her out for a dinner pre book, which I will now think of as the night before her celebrity started.
Busy busy busy day today... Noah is finishing his immunizations tomorrow. We got the "portable" oxgen tank and scheduled the delivery of the concentrator and the smaller over-the-shoulder oxygen. And Noah got circumcised.
