Sep. 22nd, 2024 04:21 pmMy parents met at the mall. Which, if I were rich enough to run for Congress, might be described as a "classic, mid-century American story". My mother worked at the mall while pregnant with me. We made homemade Orange Julius today because she says I "owe my life" to them.
Other excitement: Extended internet outage in place of weekly Town hall. Needed a break, but not like that!

Mom's birthday...
Oct. 22nd, 2023 05:07 pmand my gift arrived on time, for once. (She was even more excited about the makeup Free Gift With Purchase...if it wasn't so hard on the legacy retailers, I could get into to them begging for my business.
This has been kind of an expensive month, but, hey, cake.
Cortisone shot has been helpful for her ankle pain.

Aug. 15th, 2023 12:01 pmthat when I was younger I used to go to the Js on the bookshelf specifically to imagine how my book would look, between "Jakes" and "Jong" somewhere. (Somewhat unearned confidence, though I was always poetry prize girl and a "young author" putting together books with construction paper and all that jazz.) I don't worry about where my book would go anymore...it's been too much work getting space in other people's books without some kind of pratfall, like, most recently, my bio got in the anthology, but my essay didn't. Kind of argues against my status as Voice of A Generation(H/T Hannah Horvath)
Thought I was being *sensible* getting out of the bookstore without taking anything home but lemonade breath and cheesecake crumbs(Coconut...kind of interesting if you like coconut, which I do, kind of a lot, but not everyone does.) But I think my mother thinks I'm sad. (Which, okay, a little, but I didn't see anything I would be excited about for longer than the three days it would take to page through it the first time, which, if there's ever an experience I could actually claim to be jaded about, that's probably the one.) But the bad thing about letting someone hear your cry for help and Trying To Talk It Out and all those things at the end of the Very Special Episodes is that it better work, you know.(Even those characters bounce back pretty fast when you think about it,)
I have so much stuff in here right now, it's kind of nuts.

My most "on the tin" title for a while...
Jul. 30th, 2023 03:11 pmTo think I was going to retire the "bittercrip" tag cause I hit a smooth spot, if not a happy one.
Not quite yet, I guess.(and even if mom and I get this reprieve... I'm not young enough to pretend that we're...saved.)

Apr. 2nd, 2023 05:22 pm(well, Actual Mom did it.I just say things otherwise to occasionally put verbs in my sentences) But I'm back to strawberry blonde again.
Watched that Nic Cage one about "the weight of unbearable talent" or whatever...pretty funny, not a lot of commentary required

today(Like usual. She's a morning person and I'm, way not.)Some days, she catches me in the first moment when I'm still dreaming, practically, to tell me what was up with our fucknut governor or sellout senator, etc.
So, maybe putting a brace on did some of the trick.
We'll just have to be patient, too, I think, but we both aren't good at that.
