It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

When we discussed Christmas Carols last year Ginger said her favorite Christmas Carol was "The Bitter Withy" because it dealt with Jesus as a young psychopath. [link] Here is to her sense of the absurd.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

Unf, Brenda, that happened to me before. Très uncomfortable. I hope things can smooth over quickly.

I've actually managed to miss most caroling. I guess I don't go to to the store frequently enough? Portland in general isn't very obnoxious about The Holidays.

I ended up crashing for 14 hours and change following my last finals yesterday. All-nighters are significantly more challenging than they were 10 years ago.

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

Well, that was a long fucking day. Got a headach around noon that I'm hoping getting some dinner in me will help. So tired.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

The holiday shindig was loud and chaotic and I had to take a whole Ativan to cope (I normally only ever take 1/2), and even so, I had to leave after about 90 minutes because it was too overwhelming and I couldn't deal. Nice comfy bed and quiet bedroom now.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Oh, Juliebird, that's so hard.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm in an Uber, and the driver is deaf! He liked that I knew the sign for (terminal) A, but it's a good thing they only have the first few letters of the alphabet!
