Because books.

All kinds of ~ma for Darby, brenda.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

brenda, all kinds of ~ma to Darby and to you.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

So, after the town spent weeks and tons of money and brought in a whole lot of extra police officers to deal with all the crowds around Sandusky's hearing -- he waived it. Lasted all of two minutes.

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

I hope Darby's health is solid, brenda.

Lord, look at these necklaces. I especially like this one.

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

Lord, look at these necklaces. I especially like this one.

I don't know how I feel about those. A lot of them look like they were Dexter inspired.

Okay, but what's the down side?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Okay, dropped her off. Thanks for all the good wishes, y'all.

ION, this is some fucking bullshit:

The IRS has re-aligned the benefit maximums effective January 1, 2012. The current monthly benefits were established temporarily under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and are set to expire at the end of 2011.
New limits for 2012:
Mass Transit: $125 per month (previously $230 per month)
Parking: $240 per month (previously $230 per month)

So parking goes up while transit is slashed? Ridic. The parking benefit is a pure giveaway to begin with, while there is actually a public purpose to the transit benefit.

Always Anti-fascist!

It seems like Matilda is too young for that, but maybe some people start out that way. I did not, but went through a minor "Reviving Ophelia"-esque stage in middle school(although, not exactly...those girls were quite troubled) but, you know, going from being a SPED and thinking about what I like and what my parents want to thinking about Peers and what people at school say is something I'm still recovering from.

I hope all goes well with Darby, Brenda.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Lots of ~ma for Darby, Brenda!

but maybe some people start out that way.

I do think some of that perfectionism is innate with individuals. Figuring out how to work past that is tough for an adult. Can't imagine trying to explain it to a little kid.
