A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I wondered how often it is the case that these sorts of Professional Development classes are compared to the infamous Jim Jones cult.

I would take out "it is the case that."

Also, will a general reader get what I mean by Godwinesque?

I suspect no, but is the book aimed at people who are Internetty? Because they ought to.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Thanks, Steph. It felt clunky. I'm so punchy I am not sure I am writing in English.

I always assume my audience is internetty, or generationXy, or someone else who understands the cut of my jib.

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

I have done too many things today. I have done too many things over the past week. My last task involved me having to say the words "My mother has cancer" and that's it. I'm done. I just can't, anymore. My ER visit didn't break my headache. This is the same one since last week. I've been running pretty much for days on end.

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

I just skipped heartlessly 300+ messages. GISHWHES ate my from the bottom up.

What'd I miss?

Oh ita ! I'm sorry that this week has been such a suckfest. Can you call it a night at least?

I tried to use my Donors Choose Groupon but they said I have to wait until tomorrow. Whatevs, will use it then.

I hope I didn't bring the thread crashing to a halt....

Burrell, I think I will not even try to get anything else accomplished today. I will shift my remaining deadlines until tomorrow. And I'll pull out the Tahitian bean vanilla ice cream. And do some pouting.

Okay, maybe one peek at my work email, and then ice cream.

4315 words of complete shit. SHIT.

Also, I just got my period. FUCK YOU BODY.

Never peek at the work email! I always make that mistake. But ice cream sounds lovely. We should make an LAista plan to go to Scoops. They opened up a shop right near my house and the ice cream is seriously yummy.

Okay. The first half is done. It's DONE. I don't care if it's shitty. It's done. Ten more pages of horseshit and I can send this off, pretend I had nothing to do with it all, buy my guitar, and start practicing chords.

I bit my nails all the way to my mid-thirties, and finally willed myself to stop. Now I'm going to have to go get them cut short. This seems to be the only kind of bleh thing. I'm so excited!

Sorry you are having sucktastic week, ita ! Do you want me to send you some truly embarassing vids of myself doing stupid shit for the Misha hunt?

They're...awful.

I want ice cream. OOH! I have cake!
