I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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

Yeah, they have tooth whitening stuff, perfumes, and skin creams out on the shelves that is $50 at places like CVS.

I am ragey about the Plan B thing. In further Don't Read the Comments Section developments, I was surprised at how completely open people can be about their opinion that pregnancy is a punishment for sex.

I would like funding for a short film in which vigilantes break into people's homes, slap them, and revoke their internet privileges for life.

Lovely, msbelle.

That's what all alcohol does to me.

Because books.

It's pretty!

I always flush no matter what I'm drinking.

thanks len, they were inspired by Sue's walls. I never used to get flushed when drinking unless I was REALLY drinking, but now one wine glass of fruit beer. stupid.

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

Alcohol makes me flush, too. Worse when it makes my chest and neck flush, but not my face. Then it's not even *fetching*, it just looks stupid.

Oh god, self-evaluations are due tomorrow. My boss emailed that she "doesn't want one-liners". Apparently we're really supposed to put some *thought* into it this time. Like it matters. I resent this way more than it's worth, and I'm not even sure why.

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?

Love the hat, msbelle! So fetching!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Oh, yeah, I flush bad when I drink. So I only ever drank around my buddies who already knew it would happen and that I wasn't that wasted, honest. Well, and bands. But bands don't care.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

Today I managed to stop working at a mostly reasonable time, went to the gym for an hour, emptied the dishwasher, paid bills, sorted paperwork, and even managed to prepare and eat dinner by 9pm for the first time in a while. Then I donated to charity, renewed my renter's insurance, and have banged out 400+ words and counting on this story.

I think I deserve a drink now.
