You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There's always someone to hate! At least I wait for them to give me a reason...

Also not hateful: I'm going to Vegas tomorrow! Not until after work, but still!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Have fun!

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

It's a bug that's affecting data consistency in production. Why are you looking at me so blankly and asking me what to do about it? It's YOUR CODE. Fix it.

What is with people?

My health has just not been good this week, and other people and work schedule are conspiring to make it all worse.

Because books.

I say apply bacon.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Yikes, Jesse. That's horrible.

My first bf was from Cincinatti. We weren't together long enough for me to visit out to his ol' homestead but I heard from him about the bad side of the German roots there. Other Ohioans have reminded me of the geography out there by calling it "Cincitucky".

As for working, no. I became too disabled to hold a regular job in late 2007. So I have time. I have limited energy, though, due to constant pain. And my knee is messed up on top of the disability. But even more than that is just my worry of being alone on a bus at midnight in areas of town that are a little shady. I'm still considering it. I've got to wrestle with that problem SOMEtime if I'm going to be staying here. It's a sad fact that the lion's share of the cultural events in LA are on the West Side.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Spidra, if you don't mind me asking--what is your disability? Feel free to tell me to butt the hell out. Are you getting SS or CA Disbility at least? It ain't much, but it certainly helps.

I'm on SSDI. Bilateral thoracic outlet syndrome, which has cause bilateral cubital and carpal tunnel syndrome. Also some pretty serious depression.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Ugh, hate the haters and the hate.

On a totally different note, here's a new ways to get chores done that may be relevant to Buffista interests: [link]

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Also, I didn't know that Covington KY was right by Cincy.

Right across the river.

She wasn't hurt, but I guess some other people were, and apparently there's like a rash of these things going on right now.

You know what? I haven't paid much attention to the news for the past 3 weeks b/c of all the other stuff going on, but I *did* read about that. Shitty, shitty stuff.

We weren't together long enough for me to visit out to his ol' homestead but I heard from him about the bad side of the German roots there.

What was the bad side of the German roots? My half-German family might want to know.

Always Anti-fascist!

I once had some nimrod that worked in the group home I was staying in insist to me that she knew so many depressed people with CP because it was part of the brain damage. Which might be true. I'm no biochemist, but she wasn't either. And anyway, I think she left out things, like asking permission to wipe your ass is not a sign you win at life. And it might be a little bit stressful when everyone's first assumption about you is that you're a total idiot. Etc. Etc. I feel for you on the transit thing...there are scads of things I just don't try because adding two and three hours of wait time and crap like "Oh, you said *West* 28th drive," makes everything short of actually witnessing miracles not worth it. Sigh.
