ita, sorry. I know it's hard being so far away.
Sue, that is really frustrating and scary.
Maybe I'll ask my Scottish question in UnAmerican.

Well, other bands know more than three chords. Your professional bands can play up to six, sometimes seven, completely different chords.

Nicely done, Lee!

In other news, my crush on NPH continues unabated.

ita, pretty sure you need to go home and talk to your mom. Your boss would be an ass to not understand.
Went upstairs to shape up my brows, turn around and Pumpkin is sprawled sleepily on the floor. Funny girl, likes to be in the same room upstairs, especially if it is the bathroom. She adores that room. Maybe it is the water (she likes the toilet and shower a lot. A little obsessively.)

I just realized: there's nothing stopping me from going out right now and buying cupcakes.
There's nothing stopping me from going to see Hugo on Sunday, even though the buses aren't running.
Anyone want some errands run? I'M HERE FOR YOU.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Can you take me to Target on Saturday??

I actually just realized yesterday why I hate getting rides: It's a favor I can never pay back, and I HATE THAT.

amyth! I forgot to say congratulations! Freedom is delicious.

Heh. Coming off my 3 day no-driving-possible spell, I have a vague idea of the way the possibilities and opportunities seem endless AND MUST DO NOW. As soon as I knew it was doable, I was out of the house like a shot. Except I had to rest my eyes in each parking lot, because the eye fatigue would've been there, but add fog? Uhg.
The fatigue thing seems to be gone, but I'm still being fucking careful about not rubbing my eyes, not getting water in that goggle and using the antibiotic drops. The swelling of the lid is almost completely gone. Tear duct is a little stingy, and I still have a teeny bit of a halo around point sources. I should probably see an eye doctor if it doesn't resolve in a week. Fuckme.

Sure! And I owe THE WORLD car karma, so you never have to worry about paying me back. None of you do. Free rides!
But I know what you mean. I've felt like that for 12 years. One of the best things that ever happened to me was when I moved back in with T&G for the second time, before they moved to NY. They had a house "in the country," which meant that they were about a mile outside the town limits, and therefore off the bus lines. But I needed to save money on rent, and they wanted to save money on their mortgage, and we knew we were compatible as roommates, our dogs got along, so we made a deal (which was their idea): I got rides anywhere I wanted to go. No guilt, no having to ask. Rides to and from work, to the store, wherever I wanted. It was part of me helping them out by moving in and them not having to live with someone they didn't know. You would think living out there without a car would have been stressful, but it was the most stress-free time of my carless existence, because I never had to ask for favors. I never felt like I owed anybody anything.
