Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I could be a penguin!
Except they kinda smell. I don't want to smell.
I'd be really cute though.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, ouch, small children and their concepts of death:

Matilda: When did that girl die?
Me: Just today.
Matilda: Ohhhh! That must have been a rough day for her.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
One of the impulses behind Emmett's decision to play baseball this year was working out with his friends over the last six weeks (and getting really buff). But it reminded him of how much he enjoyed being with other people.
And I kind of want to throw this notion out to the Buffistas for comment, because this is something I've discussed with him. I've said to him: "You really enjoy being social with other people, but you don't naturally tend to choose to be around others. You'll choose your own company and then start to miss being around other humans."
Anybody have any affinity or insight with that notion?

Aww. I was out dancing, and a friend texted me right after someone came up and said 'Did you hear??" Later in the evening they played a medley of some of her hits.

I'm not sure that I am wired exactly that way, but I have a similar extroverted-introvert thing going on. I don't know that I actually miss being around other humans so much as sometimes I feel lonely in my apartment. But that's more a being-single thing, really.

He'll choose to be around them when he's low on human time, and needs them. It's not unhealthy, and trying to be any other way would be bad for him. Barring brain issues, people do pretty well figuring out what they need in terms of social time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I choose to be by myself, because it's all I can handle consistently and responsibly. You makes yer choices and you takes yer chances.

I am currently being creepy by going through the work intranet and linkedin and putting co-workers photos in my contact book.
But they're publicly available!
It's only mildly disturbing, right? Right?
It just ups the usability so greatly.
