Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Our wings are not tired.

A woman at the Y once smacked Dylan's hand because (in her opinion) he was pushing the elevator button too many times. I smacked her hand back and shouted at her and she ran away.

Good for you. Hitting my kid and/or hateful words directed toward my child is going to bring out the mama-bear for sure. I likely wouldn't get police involved, but the perpetrator surely would prefer that to mama's rage.

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

I feel like I've been seeing a lot of pink in general this season

I've started searching sites by colour, and I think the proper pink this season is more coral than pastel, and the most I'm willing to compromise is dusty rose. Coral's not good on me. Still, I'm finding my Mission Pink enjoyable, and extra points when a) discounted b) gingham.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

That's possible, I might have to take a second look to distinguish coral from a pink I would rather have.

I may go see if Forever 21 has that pink striped blazer in my size this afternoon, since I am reminded of it and need to get more pants/jeans that fit anyway and I understand the mall is a where these things tend to be kept(and will be off work at 3). I'm thinking Old Navy for jeans that will probably be the wrong size in a few more months anyway...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I have a second interview at 11:30 this morning. Wish me hireability.

Go Scrappy! Is this for the porn-o-rama?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck! Burn, Scrappy, burn -- Scrappy inferno!

hip deep in pie

So what was billed in the appointment for this afternoon as an end of year staff meeting is actually a one on one meeting with my director. My coworker and I only figured this out when we started arguing about the start time for the "staff meeting" and checked out individual appointments. Clearly communication is something I should bring up as an issue.

I am feeling a little bit blindsided.
