We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I didn't sleep past 6 any day last week (and I really wanted to) so yesterday I basically refused to get up and did go back to sleep until NINE. It was very exciting for me, although I had started getting used to getting stuff done in the early mornings....

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

Happy birthday, Vortex!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Happy birthday, Vortex!

I've always been a morning person. Unfortunately, that doesn't always translate to falling asleep at a decent hour. I do miss that aspect of antidepressants—those knocked me out for a solid 8.

I can remember being a morning person. I have also been a late night person at times. Sometimes I feel crepuscular. These days I feel like there is no such thing as enough sleep and no time of day is particularly energetic for me. Having a second teenagerhood, perhaps.

I am cognizant that she's basically growing a whole new body without the benefit of dissolving into a goo within a cocoon.

Right now I would be down with dissolving into goo within a cocoon if it meant the new body came with less pain issues and a better back.

A million years ago I read a short story that postulated that menopause and whatever the parallel male thing is are interrupted forms of a transformation like unto dissolving into goo within a cocoon and within the story some environmental change made it possible to complete that change. I think about that a lot. If Intelligent Design were a real thing, something like that would probably happen.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

So we're like axolotls? grow old without ever reaching our fully mature stage?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Vortex!

Gary has this container of Dark Chocolate Power Mix on his desk, so I helped myself. Dried pineapple, yum. Almond, good. Dark chocolate covered.....coffee bean, bleah.(I didn't know what it was until I crunched down on it. I don't like the taste of coffee at all)

Yeah, and as I recall there was some sort of exoskeleton/armor being grown which also sounds like a pretty good idea.
