Punishingly Intricate

Full on southern potluck, bring fried chicken.

YES!!!! It is the BEST when someone brings fried chicken to a potluck! Wait...is there Popeye's out there? There is, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I always bring baking to potlucks.

Though it occurs to me that potlucks in San Francisco might not suffer from the problem of not enough vegetarian food.

You probably wouldn't be surprised that no one has offered to bring a meat dish thus far.

One night I had friends over for dinner and made them take home the rest of the Chocolate Chip cookies. My friend A took them to where he worked, where the bosses were vegan, and a lot of people had complicated gluten/meat/sugar free diets, and put a sign beside them, "Contains BUTTER and GLUTEN and SUGAR." He said they were gone before lunch.

Maybe there were 1 or 2 people who could eat all of that and had the best day EVER.

Popeyes chicken was the starring main dish at my friend's birthday potluck. She was so happy someone remembered.

Y'all, I think this storm will kill us. Salt truck WITH PLOW has already been down my street THICE. It's gotta be a sign of the apocalypse.

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

Wait...is there Popeye's out there? There is, right?

There is.

A friend of a friend came out to visit SF and refused to eat anywhere else.

Hee. I think A. said a bunch of people were chowing down on them who he was pretty sure said they didn't eat gluten. Maybe they regretted it later.

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

It's like that French book (titled e) that does not include the letter e.

Tep, we paused at an entire gluten free bakery stand and thought of you. (And uh, bought treats at the other bakery.)

But I also feel like I'm failing at being a good aunt because after a few hours of my nephew I want to hide

Isn't that the whole point of auntery?

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Liese, I know you said online, but you should come to Boston!!!

Well, I haven't actually gone public with this, but I just registered to complete my degree with their inaugural online songwriting major. If I get all my transfer and prior learning credits that I hope to, I would finish a year from the end of this semester.

So...I might be in Boston to walk if I graduate, in May 2017.
