brilliant! thank you for the introduction to the "highly functioning sociopath"!

I know!!!! but this funk has lasted a few weeks SO I did the downton abbey thing last weekend :( all caught up.

I know .. our downstairs neighbors used to have one. But our landlord is kind of weird. weird enough that I don't know if he'd be more upset by having me force his hand with a companion animal exception, or turn a blind eye .. but I do have a rule-breaking-averse suite mate who I think will be helped by the letter. so…

I think that's the plan :) see her next Friday!

do share the secret to this win!

I may or may not be getting an illegal kitten in my life very soon. For some reason, I'm convinced the cuteness will solve all my problems. and you know, kittens.

yup. I'm always the biggest dork when I get complimented on my glasses. "thanks! I can um .. see you? yay?" and the complete look of WTF I've given when asked if they're real.

that basically describes my week. I feel like I binged so heavily on it, I'm not sure I processed it as well as I could have (though CERTAINLY enjoyed). darn, guess I may have to watch it again ;) curses.

coming from a once-upon-a-time kid who was also in a horrible situation, thank you for making this not as bad as it could be for her. seriously. you're giving her so much more in life chances than you can possibly even imagine. thank you for helping restore my faith in humanity :)
