Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That's good to hear! It was so much fun, living next to him, and Allyson and Kristen! Even if my house was sort of a dump!

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

Random question: Does the world really need antibacterial Q-tips?

The antibacterial stuff is to keep the Q-tips "fresh", not to disinfect your ears.

Because books.

There's a marathon of S1 X-Files on Chiller today. I wish I didn't know that.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Thanks for nothing, Amy.

I have the boxed set of X-Files next to my desk at home, I'm happy.

You're entirely welcome, brenda! Baby!Scully!

I'm the laziest person alive, though, truly. Even if I have DVDs, I'd rather watch a marathon, because then I don't have to do anything but turn the TV on.

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

Plus marathons are magic. It's like the universe has chosen to give what you want without asking.

I am so definitely not looking forward to this trip. Funeral bits aside, even. It's just that all the flying and travelling and conversating makes everything hurt more, and it's not like I can request vacay painkillers.

I'm tempted to ask for tomorrow off so I can dedicate it to making sure everything is done as early as possible.

I thought you were going this weekend, ita! I'm confused.

I'm sorry you have to undertake the trip, especially for unfun reasons.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm tempted to ask for tomorrow off so I can dedicate it to making sure everything is done as early as possible.

If you can swing it (w/r/t having time off available, and being able to juggle work), then do it. Your peace of mind/mental health is valuable too.

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

Absolutely this. And all good ~ma for the trip being as okay as possible, § ita §.
