So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Can't I just M Misha and figure we'd manage to fit the other two in somehow?

But there's a limit to how much I can tell him he's being unreasonable

Leaving was certainly my solution, but I didn't start coping well with my father's verbal abuse until I realized he wasn't actually talking to, or about, me. Talking 'at' you isn't about you.

It is a poorly written book, but I have to confess, The Four Agreements (by don miguel ruiz) helped me with this. "Take nothing personally" may seem impossible, but it can be done.

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

shrift is awesome.

That is all.

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

I'll check it out. Financial circumstances have forced me back here but I'm trying to regroup and get out of here as soon as I can.

You are doing the right thing for yourself. It will be even sweeter if you use the opportunity to let go of everything you can. Double win for you!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Perkins, I just saw. All good thoughts to you.

I say... a lot of things y'all mentioned. Starting sentences with "dude." I use totes, sometimes totes magoats. Anyhoo and hoodle. Certain things I say in other languages without realizing, like poftim, davai, asha.

One thing that bugs me is that my coworker says "hadz" instead of "has." like, how is that tricky? It's three letters! She makes it more phonetically complicated! WTF?

I've used bitca in conversation. Not proud.

Hahaha!

I've had to hold myself back from saying "craxy".

Always Anti-fascist!

For somebody who writes for a living, I rely on junior high habits too much. Like "like" and "kinda" and "dude,"(although Rachel Maddow does that one, too, so I feel better about it.) Or even "I'm all "As in, I'm all "What's his problem?" so I give him a look. So he's like "Whatever, bitch." My parents are so proud. But they like it better than cornerspeak.
