Also, my sister sent me this video. I'm not sure what her point was, but I laughed and laughed and laughed. Tim Minchin: If I Didn't Have You Polyamory: where you can have your adored wife and eat your alopecic artistic slopebunny girlfriend, too.

I'm so glad things are going well for you and Pixi and Steve! Can you feel compersion for someone you don't really know IRL? Because I feel like I'm compersioning all over the place lol Even your chemo sounds like it's going okay, as much as chemo ever does. Thanks for posting these stories. I...

I was so scared reading your loan issues post- but got so happy by the end! Whew! And if that was a rollercoaster of emotion, I can just imagine living it was no picnic. That has to be a huge relief. I'm so glad everything is going well for you and your guys :D

I think you did just fine. Asking if your partner wanted to be included in the sympathy card was thoughtful, and I think second-guessing someone else's interpretation of your sympathies is a sure path to overthinking what was meant as a sincere gesture. And, honestly, I still have unopened...

Hello polyworld: I'm still here! Everything is going... pretty well, actually. And doesn't it feel like I've now cursed myself by saying that. I haven't heard from Tails in a long time, not since... November? October? Not sure. I hope he's doing better, but I can't think of a good way to check...

Whoa... it's been a while for sure. So. Updates. Tails is gone, and I'm okay with it. Jaeger is gone... and that still aches, but at least I don''t cry every time I think about him anymore. So... progress? Life is hectic. My art show went incredibly- shockingly- well. I sold out of all my...

Also (and this is unrelated) I think kids are kind of like cats. If I go to pick up my niece/nephew, in the playground I am immediately surrounded by children. Kids I don't even know. It's like they know I'm kind of ambivalent about them, and they like it. Like cats. I'm not even particularly...

Oh, no "sorry" required! I absolutely appreciate your suggestion: you gave a practical solution to my pity party- that is extremely kind of you. I can see how hanging out with kids would help a lot of people, for sure. Unfortunately, I not really a kid-person. I mean, specific kids are pretty...

Er. I don't really like kids. I like specific children (my sisters' kids, for example, are pretty cool: one is super into dragons and the other enjoys blowing things up- both of which I can totally get behind), but generally avoid the species on the whole. And cuddling with kids feels...

I found a kitten outside not long ago, and he has had me in stitches literally every day since. It's been a while since I've had a kitten his age (5 months or so) around: I forgot how crazy they are! Such good fun :)

Okay, so this is just a dump. I just got some feels and want to write them down. I swear to Carl Sagan that I am not a very dramatic person. I SWEAR. Bear with me. So, since Jaeger passed away I've been feeling lonely- along with all the other grief feelings. I'm used to sad, angry, wistful-...

I think I've swung more the other way: I think I'm pretty awesome so I have a hard time understanding people who don't like me. As in, there is either something wrong with them, as people, or they just don't understand what they are missing, because dayam I am fun. I did struggle with my looks...

Learn from my mistake: If you are volunteering at a wildlife rescue, and a nice old lady comes in saying she has an injured pigeon in the cardboard box she is holding... put on the thick leather wildlife gloves before you open the box. It's never a pigeon. It's definitely a pissed off red tailed...

I know a few times I have had an "ow, shit, that burnt" response to some advice I've gotten on here. When that happens, I try to take a step back, wait a day or two, and read it again. Often, upon the second reading, I can acknowledge the "ouch" but also see the point of the post- and the point...

Spork, it certainly does feel like that for sure- whether or not that is his experience I may never know. I suspect the (generally) healthier response women have to grief etc has more to do with our social training than a true evolutionary/genetic/what have you difference. I don't hang out with...

Our university is extremely strict about LN: you have to have a requisition sheet for it signed by a senior staff member and a technician, log what you took, used, what it was used for, what you returned, etc. It's kept under similar management as our controlled drugs. However, that could simply...

Thanks, guys. It means a lot to have as much support here as I do. It's amazing, how much better I feel knowing there are real human beings out there who give a shit, and who can understand my situation. I've been thinking about Tails and his 180 reversal, and I'm not sure it is a reversal to...

That's awesome, I'm so glad you had a great day!! I love those days that I feel particularly badass.

Ugh am I ever groking your situation right now, Magdlyn. I'm sorry that your summer has been so shitty, and that Punk has been a flake. That sounds like it mush have been a very difficult evening. I don't think I could sit across the table from Tails with any equanimity at the moment!

Kitten sent me an email apologizing blah blah blah. It was not a good apology: one of those where it goes "I'm sorry I knew the boundaries of yours and Tails relationship and that I didn't respect them and talk to you about me and Tails' reigniting our fling, but you..." Seriously, if you ever...
