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

Ugh, Hil, what a day! I'm sorry.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-

there are just days like that. "Wow, that was worth it. Not." I have writing workshop again tonight. Very strange story from a pro to start. Like "While You Were Sleeping" sort of, but in a mental hospital.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Hello friends. I wrote something about war and horror and life and hope, which you may want to read: [link] It's kind of a part 2 of [link]

You're in my thoughts.

Hi Shir!! Good to see your pixels!

Why am I so fucking tired? I went to sleep at a decent hour, I didn’t do too much yesterday, I slept plenty (and then reset my alarm and slept some more) but all I wanna do is get back in bed (…I don’t think it would be very effective because the construction workers across the alley are doing very loud obnoxious things this morning, but I still really want to)

Hi Shir!

Much health or, if necessary, peace~ma for Cagney.

I got my tax stuff around and uploaded it for my preparer. Here’s hoping for nothing unexpected. I also received an email from a place I’d applied last summer saying, “The position has been reposted with some changes. Please reapply.” So I did. Less than an hour later I got a “no thanks” e-mail. Like, dude, y’all reached out to me. WTF?

That's shitty, Calli. Jesus.

All good thoughts your way, bee.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I was just wondering about him, bee. You're in my thoughts.
