Wow... you win at Pinterest.

She's awesome!

Lindy, reading your writing makes me soooo happy and makes my mind go in such amusing directions sometimes. The mental image of, say, Le Tigre presenting Pharrell with a shiny gilded Diva cup in its little purple floral cloth bag cracked me up. On the side of the cup, it would read simply, "WELCOME TO THE SISTERHOOD.…

It looks like crap. One could do a similar job in MS Paint in about five minutes.

I'm glad we're on the same page here. I was starting to feel like I am excessively paranoid!

No. I think that there is no "norm". It's unreasonable to pretend that things like this don't happen in many families. Domestic violence is chronically under-reported for a reason— "keeping up appearances".

I understood your meme reference, and I really like what you have to say about the impossible standard of "normal".

Yeah, not all families. However, it's a thing that happens in many families. To acknowledge this is not to "normalize violence", I think— it's to acknowledge that things aren't always perfect, clean, sparkly, emotionally secure, and happy. When people who love each other and know each other intimately clash in heated…

You know some incredibly calm and possibly sedated families, then.

On a side note, did anyone else notice that they got their prom theme from a Jem song?

Good luck! At least you sound like you have some pretty solid support systems to back you up. ;)

Unless you have stepparents! Double your dead grandparents, double your fun.

1.) I want the rest of Lysa's story— like I said, I just find it interesting and tragic— and it would explain to TV audiences what's up with Sweetrobin and Lysa to boot!

1.) I hope they go into why Lysa's such a crazy bitch. Her story is super tragic and it would add dimension to the show instead of things just being all, "Well, everyone's batshit! It's another day in Westeros."

I want to join Mary-Kate and Ashley's coven.

I drank Green Apple and Fireball last night! Yum yum yum. But my heart will always belong to Elderflower. The super packs are great.
