Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Trust my rage

That's what I meant by bust him.

I was a bit surprised you wanted to tell him parents. Teens and sex are so awkward. You live for a long time like its a huge secret and then, at some point, you just assume everyone is doing it.

I personally hate awkwardness and cOnfrontation so I would probably avoid that. It's weird to think of myself as the adult that makes people feel awkward.

So I got "the best present" proclaimed by my nephew (for his birthday.)

The gift? Accountant's calculator, the kind with the paper.

Sure the action figures were cool, and the mariokart track has been played with a lot, but he loves the one at his mom's work. It's good I bought extra paper.

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

Billytea, I don't even understand that scandal.

My father is trying to troubleshoot Christmas lights. I can't convince him broke is just broke sometimes. But I'm smashing my head trying to get my sister's iPod mounted on her new computer. So I guess all sorts of stuff looks fruitless.

I'm trying to work out how not to have dinner. I just want dessert. Tricky, when bring watched by people that don't care you're grown.

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

We went out for Greek food for dinner. I got eggplant and rice and spinach and beans. All good.

We had tacos for our Christmas Eve dinner. They were nummy. Now we are watching A Christmas Story. Somehow, and I can't explain in the least, CJ has never seen this.

My god, my sister forced me into the position of explaining slash. Luckily it took so long to explain 'canonical' to my parents that they got distracted, but she totally threw me under the bus.
