We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

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

I definitely mentioned this trip at some point! I am sure of it.

Not where you were going. You are all about mysterious travel to unknown destinations lately!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Still no internet or phone at home. I don't know how you dealt with it, Consuela. Other than by being a better person than me. Goddamnit, I have a constitutional right to have my couch and my internet in the same room!

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

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Partly, it just seems so unlike me to even be here, it's hard to believe until I'm actually here.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Dana, I basically had no internet at my parents' house this weekend and I read about 5 books. Granted, three of them were Avatar the Last Airbender trades, but they're pretty long.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I don't know if I know anyone (other than possibly my father, because one needs to do that) who's ever been to Lesotho.

You know me! I went to Lesotho, er, [does math] ... 12 years ago? Good lord. Anyway: Have fun, Jesse!

I think there was other stuff I wanted to comment on, but, no brain.

Lesotho-ers, come out of the closet! I want to be jealous of you.

Oh, dear. I am unprepared for these oatmeal chocolate cranberry (low gly) cookies. What are the symptoms of oatmeal poisoning?
