Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix

Foolishly enough, I went back to that blog I was arguing on yesterday. And ... you know that phenomenon you sometimes hear reported, where a woman will say something and nobody will pay attention to it, and then a man will say the exact same thing and everyone goes, "Wow, how insightful!" ?

Yeah, that's happening to me over there.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ugh, Suela.

ita, I'm so sorry, what an awful thing to wake up to.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

God, Tom, I'm so sorry. I...I don't understand a team that doesn't need you on it.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I just got laid off.

Fuck! WTH, Tom?

Ah shit, Tom. I hope the severance is good enough for you to do some thinking about What Next...

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Damn, Tom, that sucks. I'm wishing you something much, much better.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Oh, damn, Suela. That is one of the most annoying things in annoyingville. And you're doomed, becasuse if you point the hyposcrisy out, you look whiny and petulant.

ita !, I'm sorry your had a rough night and an emotional gut-punch to follow it. My sincere condolences to you and your family.

True, but when you turn around, people think "cute little butt" but when I turn around, they think "OH MY GOD, BECKY LOOK AT HER BUTT"

Becky is a twit. I wish my butt was a little bigger -- not horizontally, but volume-wise -- but it keeps getting flatter. I need an underwire for my butt. Or, yanno, maybe exercise -- no, that's too crazy.

I woke up late; stayed up late, but I had wretched dreams. I was in a play, and everything was going fine, until D came back from a trip and brought his ex back with him and she was in the play, too, and I was FURIOUS. Can't speak, punching brick walls, screaming at him in public furious. Sublimation much, y'all?

OTOH, I got to meet Ian McKellan in my dream (he was in the play -- they kept all the famous actors in a kind of pen) and I told him "I loved that red t-shirt!" and he was very nice.

Aw, shit Tom. Been there three times, and it worked out. I hope they gave you decent severance, and you can take some time to figure out what you want and do some cool things.

Tom! Ignore my blathering above -- I am so sorry! That's ridiculous. You are so capable and awesome. They are fools.
