What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

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

Okay, Dana, I get this. But not usually. Only when he's pretending to be Daniel Craig.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Feel like a one note wonder.

I'm pretty sure it's okay. I certainly know that I keep tearing up about Mister Kitty. You loved him, you saw him through a lot and, when it was kind, you let him go with love.

Not when he was Penn, the vampire? Because I found that compelling. And, clearly, memorable.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think it's the arms. I am so looking forward to Hawkeye, I can't even tell you.

I know that Downey and Evans can't top (so to speak) Downey and Law, but I'm certainly looking forward to RDJ and Chris giving it their old college tries. I'm so there for *them* and Coulson (I have little opinion on the actor, but the character and what he does for him--rock city) that it's nuts.

I just read a commenter on another site comment on a child referred to in an article as "it". Another commenter corrected them, and they said, paraphrased "No, not necessarily, although genetically, because 'she' has gender renderings". Now, it's Jezebel, so it's nothing I'm going to get into, but...seriously? We can't call apparent baby XXs girls now, in case we attribute them a gender? Whereas it's totally okay to use "it" instead, especially when talking of the disempowered and disenfranchised? How is that a win? What am I missing?

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

Um...unless the child has self-identified as male-in-female body, that takin' it a wee bit too far, IMHO.

Why did I wake up at 4 am? I don't get it.

Oh, well. I've already organized my crazy mess of an inbox.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That sounds...like one person's issue.

Trust my rage

It's not morbid or weird to me. You knew him, you loved him. And you honored that.

When I had my miscarriage in 2003, it happened at home and I ended up holding what would have grown into my baby. I did some thIngs to honor him and his death. I still can't really write about it but I understand exactly where you are coming from. Not weird and not morbid.

Eta: and in sort of related news, I'm worried I am leaking a small amount of amniotic fluid. baby is almost 33 weeks so I'm not super worried but I really want him to stay in there for a few more weeks.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

NRGH. Yes. Though he and Simon Pegg are almost wearing down my resistance to Tom Cruise and Yet Another Mission Impossible movie. (Look, I own A-Team and The Losers, clearly I like the idea of "one BAMF team against their own government doing ridiculous shit", but we do not need another song about California M:I movie/Tom Cruise creepiness vehicle.)
