this is my neighborhood
You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

No sleep for me, it seems. It it were tomorrow, I could be standing in line! OK, no.
The only way I could see myself getting up at 4a or whatever is if there were a particular big ticket item that I really, really wanted that from 4a-6a it was on sale for 40%+ off or something. Like a super fancy top of the line flat screen TV that makes coffee, too. Or my first robot. Then I might try to make an adventure out of it.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Oh, Grace. That video. Bless.
ita, now I want those boots, too.
Being sleep deprived and a bit buzzed means I shouldn't comment on FB statuses, right? Right. Bedtime then.

ita-!, maybe your body's having a stress reaction? I'm sorry.
Beth, your neighborhood sounds great.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Kat, that video of Grace MELTED ME! Oof.
Happy Birthday to K!
I'm going to actually try a Black Friday outing this year for the first time ever. Because a nice friend invited me and I do have a long list of stuff to get for the kids--now that they can write their own lists. Oy.
I think I'm going to surprise DH with a Soda Stream.

Happy Turkey Day, you guys.
I have a sore elbow from shovelling, and I didn't even have a lot of shovelling to do. I'm just old. Sigh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You're not old, Sue! By which I mean, god willing, you have many decades of shovelling ahead of you. Sorry.
ita, maybe ask someone about that the next time you're at the hospital?
One year, my parents and I took the subway to the downtown Boston Macy's early on the Friday morning -- regular people early, not 4am or whatever -- and it was practically empty! Maybe there had been people there for the doorbusters, but I feel like it's more a suburban thing. The only people outside that store in the middle of the night live there.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
I don't do shopping on Black Friday, at least not in the big stores. There's a convention in the Baltimore area Thanksgiving weekend that we always attend. If I'm doing any shopping, it's in the dealers' room there.
