Yeah, I'm probably gonna revise this dialogue in the second draft, whaddaya think? O:)

poetry, mood (-) 

"What shall we do to be real?" they cried,
"What shall we do to be real?
"We none of us feel, though we look so nice,
"And talk of the vague ideal."
And all of them seemed to know so much,
But none of them laughed or sang;
And none of the fires had ever a blaze,
And none of the bells e'er rang.

And people walked and talked of life,
And all of them looked so grave;
Yet none of them ever had life, my dear,
Or ever a soul to save.

---Lucy Clifford, "The Paper Ship"

vent, sorta? more like a sigh of relief? (+) 

WAAAAUGH LONGEST TWO WEEKS OF MY LIFE. Geekgirlcon followed by a week of crunch time followed by Patrecon followed by the midterms, a dentist appointment, and another two days of crunchtime because I didn't get anything done the previous three days. No recuperation time at all.

I fought hard for this weekend, dammit. Now I intend to do as LITTLE AS POSSIBLE. I think social calls are on a strict "don't call us, we'll call you" basis this week too. 😺​❤️​

@anthracite @Phorm You know, I'd probably make a good pachyderm. And I do have a vacancy to fill on the Head Council... Hmm. Yeah, if you know any heffalumps looking for work, forward me their resume.

lyrics 

If the sun refused to shine
I don't mind, I don't mind
If the mountains fell in the sea
Let it be, it ain't me.
Got my own world to live through
And I ain't gonna copy you.

Now, if 6 turned up to be 9,
I don't mind, I don't mind
If all the hippies cut off all their hair
I don't care, I don't care.
Dig, cause I got my own world to live through
And I ain't gonna copy you.

re: US Pol, SCOTUS, Massive doomsaying (- x50) 

@Phorm I mean, staking the future of the country on the health of an 85-year-old woman who took a spill is not the most comforting of conditions. The worry is definitely valid. But it's definitely not over yet. *hug*

re: US Pol (---), Extreme Pessimism, though grounded in reality 

@Phorm If it's any consolation... even Kellyanne Conway's own lawyer husband isn't convinced Trump actually has the right to appoint this Matt Whitaker character. I can sympathize with any lack of faith it'll go anywhere, but there's a hell of a basis for a legal challenge. Looks like *technically* Rosenstein could be in charge, depending on whose favorite precedents you believe...

re: US Pol, SCOTUS, Massive doomsaying (- x50) 

@Phorm A little more reassurance: "Ginsburg has survived a series of health scares. She broke two ribs in a fall in 2012, has had two prior bouts with cancer and had a stent implanted to open a blocked artery in 2014. Despite the issues, Ginsburg has yet to miss a single day of oral arguments during her tenure, The Washington Post reported."

So yeah. She's a tough old lady, and this isn't even the first time she's pulled through one of these. <3
