I agree that a Life Direction Inventory is a good thing, but don't forget to consider that the "traditional" definition of family is not the only definition of family.  Kids are not for everyone; marriage is not for everyone.

I'm sorry you're still having pains! I have a good physio, but actually going to PT is such a drag; I'd rather just do the exercises at home.  I just want to get it all over with and stop driving this car that isn't mine. *hates having her routine upset*

My insurance lady talked to the other driver, and apparently they told her they're "struggling; they were coming from a job cleaning offices downtown." Me: ORLY. Yeah, that's exactly the job I was coming from (but in a car five years older so sorry no pity here)

Yep, it's required here, too. But apparently it's no big if you don't have it.

It seems to be going fairly quickly; I got smashed on Monday, talked to two caseworkers yesterday, the adjuster is going to be out today, so that seems speedy to me.

We expect a full report of the nerdliness and take cosplay pics!

Okay, that's scary; the idea of flash floods terrify me like the idea of tornadoes terrify people not from Oklahoma.

I dunno, saying your "innocence" is a potential issue comes across as a little condescending and/or reverse snobby to me. Like he needs to edumacate precious sheltered little you about the ~real world~.   And people like that really grate my cheese.

I am okay so far, but should probably go to the chiro to be sure.

Well, I couldn't work in "stars and garters" and still keep up the rage.

I am just dreading what the adjustor says. I'm afraid it's going to be totaled, and I haven't had to worry about car payments in like four or more years. 

And if your hands were metal, that would mean something.

Only if you ain't from the right part of the world.

I haaaaaaaaaaaaate when I do that.

YES AL ^5.  There is a 20 year old [okay maybe 21] girl in my derby league who does this. I swear I have never had a conversation with her that is not all about her and what a fantastic person/skater she is.  At first I just thought she was ~enthusiastic~ , but no, she's just a giant ~narcissicist~.  I can't stand to…

They do look like they're made out of fruit rollups. I think that would work for a bra okay, but not so much for anything you wear on the bottom half.  Hair.

I understand that grad school prepares you for delivering pizzas.

Some fucker ran a red light and smashed into my car, thereby smashing my car, making me miss practice, causing all sorts of annoying inconveniences and life speed-bumps. Also they had no insurance. And if one more person asks me "did they get a ticket?" there will be blood. Because why the fuck would I even ask? …
