To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Jilli, as I said before, I love and enjoy and adore your GCS YouTubes. They are awesome.

I prefer to think of you as artfully rendered.

I'm not sure about that, but they kindda make me want to be a goth, a little bit.

You're doing wonderful work with making it look extremely cool, as well as perfectly natural (edit: as in, explaining to other people that being a goth is a legitimate lifestyle choice).

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

So, the F2F is Father's Day weekend. I mentioned that I was going to be out of town, so my mother calls me and goes on about how it's a bad idea for me to be out of town and how I shouldn't be alone. I didn't know how to explain that if I do start feeling down, all I'd have to do is make an oblique reference to Father's Day, and about 20 people will be in front of me saying "what can I do to make it better". @@

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

At least she's making the effort to pretend it's about you? It's kind of like progress.

“Not dead yet!”

Fucking Mondays.

Fucking end of the school year.

Nate came home sporting a shiner and couple of scratches from some little bastard kid who threw his binder at him. Thank goodness he was wearing his glasses because those scratches were just that close to his eye. And of course, no adults around to see the incident and do anything about the little shit.

I did email the Dean, who's like the head discipline honcho and explained I understood it was the end of the school year and I knew very little could be done about it, but that I didn't appreciate my kid coming home with a black eye and scratches.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Yeah, but it's not like a black eye can be (believably) self-inflicted. At least not by a kid Nate's age. So it had to be inflicted by some *other* bastard kid. And if Nate isn't known for lying, I'd think he could at least report the kid, even if there were no adult witnesses.

move out and draw fire

Jilli, your GCStube served up a little plate-of-shrimp. I discovered this weekend that my DH, despite being an avid Adam Ant fan since ever, HAD NEVER SEEN any of his videos. It took me about an hour of boggling on this fact before I realized they were probably on YouTube (also Nightboat, by Duran Duran, but that's another story).

And of course, there they are, right on your front page.

The reason the video discussion came up was this: [link]

Normally I don't post links here, because I'm always sure that everyone's already seen it, but it sounds like Bitches could use a laugh today.

Hm, I would think so, except that it was a "I've been through this before" and "I think that I know better about this" "I think that this is a really bad idea"

What I didn't say: Yes, you have been through this before, but you and I are very different. You think that wallowing in your grief shows everyone how much you loved that person. I never had to prove my love to my father and I certainly don't have to prove it to anyone else. Yes, I will be sad, but at least if I'm with my friends, they're concentrating on me, and I don't have to worry about you"
