Who would play me in a movie?

Or a Fraggle.
So. It's time for a training plan.
On paper. Once I have a plan on paper, I’ll stick to it, and (the most crucial point) I won’t run too far too fast just because I can. As long as I have it on paper, I’ll respect the difference between “can” and “should” (or “can” and “can safely”). So, starting with easy intervals (5 min. run, 1 min. walk x5), I’m going to...
Actually:
It was REALLY FUCKING BUSY this morning. I’ve made more lattes than you can shake a stick at (and why would you even do that just put the stick down okay), and also I have manhands.

Stop asking me questions you can/should find out the answer to yourself. If the answer is on the internet or in the user manual, and you ask me, I’m probably going to snap. I literally, LITERALLY do not know what day it is most of the fucking time. How the hell do you expect me to know the fucking airspeed of a bloody African swallow? GOOGLE IT. If you don’t know HOW TO GOOGLE IT,...
Also.
Hey, iPhone, stop correcting “so” to “do”. Please?
Also.
I’d rather find and buy another low table to use as a desk, at nearly any price, than buy and inflate another ball.
Also.
I do completely and utterly wore myself out inflating that damned thing only to find it’s pretty much useless. I need a nap. Antibiotics, man. The gift that keeps on taking.

Have you ever been around someone who's faking a...
Like, they’re holding the phone up to their ear and talking, pausing, talking, but somehow the rhythm or the flow of the conversation seems “off”? My roommate does this at least twice a night. First of all, it’s bizarre to me that someone wouldn’t walk into another room to have a conversation (I get really nervous on the phone and need to focus, no matter how...
I'm so horrendously, comically bad at picking...
I refuse to extrapolate any kind of a lesson from this about the boys I choose to date.

When I read of Julie’s news about the cancer overstaying its welcome this morning, I had myself a good cry. I got mad. I prayed. And then I thought about this incredible community here and how much we all adore Julie. We may not hold a magical cure for cancer in our hands, but we can direct a…
Yes, this.
ladameblanc asked: Look to see if there is a womens shelter than can use the clothes vs fucking salvation army.
I'm the Anti-Hoarder.
In the process of unpacking and sorting through my clothes, I’ve set aside two boxes to be given away or donated to charity. Do any bay area people have any recommendations on local charities I should take them to (as opposed to, say, a Salvation Army, cause fuck them)?
HOLY. CRAP. →

So a quick story.
I had to call an idiot attorney’s client in mid December.
He lived in the Cleveland area and apparently was hopping from family member to family member.
I found his cousin’s number and spoke briefly to him on my guy’s whereabouts.
I told him it was hard to hear him cause he had a bunch of dogs howling in the background.
He casually said that one his...

I don’t even know what to say, except fuck cancer, and I love you so much. You’re kind, and tough, and so impressive on so many levels, and I’m so sorry I can’t make everything all better for you. Positive thoughts have power, they do. And I’m sending every last bit of it I can your way.

Feeling ways about things
When I’m depressed like I’ve been, I notice things less. I can be staring at the most beautiful sunset and all I take note of is that the sun is setting. Things I might find wonderful when I am feeling “more myself”, I don’t really acknowledge. I am looking, but not seeing. Nothing much has been beautiful to me lately. Nothing much interests me. I am an observer,...
“Uh huh, it’s a thing.”

OH WHAT LIKE I'M GONNA POUR IT OUT?
??
SO I WAS JUST MIXING MYSELF SOME WHISKEY AND COKE
AND I POURED ALL THE WHISKEY IN THE GLASS. ALL OF IT. I THOUGHT I WAS POURING THE COKE. I WAS WRONG. NOW I HAVE TO DRINK ALL THE WHISKEY AND I AM GOING TO DIE OF WHISKEY. WHAT A WAY TO GO.
Locked myself out of my bedroom wearing nothing...

Just quickly on the SOPA blackout.
indefensible:
The SOPA Blackout protests are a typical response from people used to snivelling while their lunch money gets stolen. We’re turning the other cheek instead of doing everything we can to punch the other guy’s lights out.
So, you know, yay us.

I remember one time my ex-husband got mad because one of the members at the gym he works at threw a fit because she wanted to drop her kids off in the nursery to take a class and she couldn’t because she hadn’t scheduled a slot and the nursery was full. He said, “Seriously? That’s the worst thing that happened to you today?” And I replied, “Maybe it is. Who are...
