Because books.

I want to know when "personal fanon" became "headcanon".

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Steph, are you on Goodreads? If so, you (or anyone else) can find me here: [link].

I am not, but I probably should be, huh? I'll have to check it out.

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

Today my belt buckle says I am Superman.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Jeepers. I was having a silly conversation with the brother of my BFF on Facebook. (I haven't seen him in 25 years and have rarely even spoken to him on Facebook, so this is not in any way an actual relationship.) He was spouting feel-good aphorisms and I was playing cynical Devil's advocate. This morning I get a long message from him that he "doesn't need all this negativity from me" and he had a crush on me since high school and he would still like believe I'm that girl who can conquer the world. I responded (carefully) that I was just messing around, I didn't think either of us were taking it seriously, and I didn't mean to upset him. Then he wrote back breezily that it's fine, he just wants me to be happy. FFS. I need to get a drink and ask G. if her brother's love life has imploded or something.

Why are people so weird?

Aurelia! I'm so sorry. I've been pretty bad with Words With Friends in general, but I just realised your games don't show up on my phone, which is where I do most of my playing. For some reason, I only see them on my iPod, and I only just whipped that out to clear out the queue just now.

It's also missing one game with you, Jess. Man, that code is crap.

I'm having a game-ending headache right now. Had to cut errands short. Especially grocery shopping, in case I puked in their aisles. Of course the bagger wants to flirt with me today....no, sir. Nothing personal.

I really need to hydrate as much as possible, and I totally should pick up those ADs from the grocery. But hydration and rest are more important. ADs on Monday. Liquids now.

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 had breakfast and a profound conversation with George Carlin's daughter.

Always take the empty seat at the diner counter.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oooo! Calling Plei and Cass! I just was directed to the Zoya site and saw the new Smoke and Mirrors collections. Holy cannoli, are they pretty. Any thoughts on either set?

I think I nearly licked my monitor. I want to see them swatched but, yeah, wow.

Always take the empty seat at the diner counter.

It really can lead to unexpected and interesting conversations.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Wow is right. I'm thinking I need to break my promise to myself that I wouldn't buy any polish for a while.

This is the Mirrors collection swatched and I love all but the last color. Haven't seen Smoke yet.

I am totally buying a couple of these, at least.

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

I was trying to ignore that collection. Oh well

This morning it was pretty cloudy, but it turned into a nice day while I was doing my laundry so now I am sitting out on the balcony with some TJs lemonade with just a wee bit of sweet tea vodka in it and ignoring the part where I put the laundry away.
