I thought we had already established that Jesse is T-Rex. Or T-Rex is Jesse.
Nothin'. I just wanted you to face me so she could get behind ya.

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

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
This is why I've basically given up on online dating in favor of these things where people just show up in front of you -- speed dating and the like. It's just meeting a new person.
I wound up doing better out of online dating than speed dating, though I did enjoy the speed dating quite a lot. They're really quite different environments.

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

I think I'm better at presenting myself in person than in text. And I'm better (if only nominally) at liking someone from a brief personal presentation than a brief textual one. I can read a profile and decide I have something to talk to them about, but I haven't read a profile and felt attraction yet. But I can do that in five minutes of exchange of conversation. Just ferreting through profiles to do that...yeah, nsm with the continued trying.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Break time. I think I impressed the philosophy major by knowing what predicate logic is.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think I knew that once.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I am not good at any of those things, but I am thinking of re-activating my online account after settling in next fall.
ita, it was a nice day, and I am not harried which I think is a win. I've got a bag of clothes and toys to take to the thrift store tomorrow, and another bag of vintage stuff to ebay over the weekend.

So far I took out the recycling in the rain, epoxied my mug handle back on, had cat run through the epoxy, grabbed cat, soaked indignant cat's paw in rubbing alcohol, discovered I'd grabbed the rubbing alcohol and vinegar mixture I use for my ears, cleaned an increasingly squirmy cat's paw off, rinsed now-cuisinart cat's paw in the sink and now I think I'll have a wee drink. As a pickle-scented Loki glares at me as he washes and washes and washes.
Best I don't try dating.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay Tom!

Oh yeah. I think I'm too picky online, so it's good for me to just get out there in person.

The Zmayhemi went to the beach today. Matilda ran along the water's edge and was cute enough that Japanese tourists wanted to take pictures with her. Emmett built a complex of sand castles.
Then we had fruit tart and cookies. Matilda took a nap. Emmett scored Terminator 1 and 3 for cheap at Amoeba and now it's dark already.
