Our wings are not tired.

Oh dear, Tom. Like you need more. Lots of ~ma headed your way.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jeez Louise, Tom. Good luck to your dad.

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

Aw, Tom, much ~ma for your dad.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Lots of ~ma to your dad and all your family, Tom.

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

Was it a suit dress with matching jacket?

Yes! It is so darling. In an 80s sort of way. Bodice is cream, skirt is black. The shoulders of the jacket are the same cream, the sleeves and rest of the cropped jacket is black. My other suit dress, which a recruiter told me not to wear to interview (for this company, BTW), has a patterned bodice, plain beige skirt, and the long jacket is the same beige, and the lining is the bodice pattern. I think it's quite conservative, but, no, not a jacket and skirt or pants. I just--I have one I really like, but it's brown, and I don't have all-day comfortable brown appropriate shoes, and I think I look dumb in brown-toned hose.

Not so much the herpes itself as the thing that got you it.

Like getting born!

I'm sorry life is piling on, Tom. I wish the best for your dad.

On a writing forum someone said that the readership of Twilight was evenly split between male and female. I instantly thought there was no way that could be true. A quick Google search didn't uncover any definitive data, but I did find this interesting map of where Twilight is most liked on goodreads. It looks just like an election map.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

(Yes, I'm being deliberately obtuse--skip right on over me)

Well, the birth canal seems like a good way to head at first, but I like to think that every baby hits that "perhaps this was not the wisest course of action" moment.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I instantly thought there was no way that could be true.

Color me skeptical, but I'd have thought the only men who've read those books would be involved in publishing them or adapting them into movies.

The Harry Potter books, I can see a somewhat even split for.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

And then you have the babies who know and good thing and aren't leaving if they have anything to say about it (metaphorically speaking).
