pat, pat, pat Allyson has lovely hair so it should be touched. How can someone with such lovely hair and organizational talent ( plus writing talent) be so unappreciated?

Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

That right there is the difference between you and me.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Allyson, don't worry, be happy.
I do not currently have the language to describe how much suck today has, but perhaps later I will be able to articulate. This has been an appalling weekend.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

I wish you a better week than weekend , ita.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I've never seen a purple frog
I never hope to see one...

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
I'm living in a constant stream of disrespect and micromanagement. It's been a trickle, but now it's like the Mississippi.
It's almost like someone here chooses to say something designed to make me feel stupid at every turn. And seriously? There's nothing I can do about it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, the only thing you can do is get out. That place is No Good.
Ugh, ita. You deserve an appealling weekend, not an appalling one!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Allyson, I hate that they're dogging you with petty micromanagement bullshit.
That's a fucking awful way to work.
JZ and I have taken thorough advantage of the fact that we have the day off and Matilda's daycare is open. I think it's only the second time in a year we've been in the house together without her.
We had an excellent lingering lunch and then headed down to Haight Street to buy a calendar (on sale). We stopped at Booksmith and found my book on the shelves (yay!) and I ran into the events manager and we've set a date for my reading (yay!). But we didn't like the calendars so we had to steel ourselves and face.... The Well Stocked Used Bookstore With Many Calendars and the Horribly Unpleasant Owners.
Where we got our calendars and the owners were relentlessly in character.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Thanks for shooting my book on the shelves, Tom! That's so cool to see.
What bookstore was that?
