tieleenI wish to inform you all of some things you're already perfectly aware of. Because that's just how I roll.
1. Today is a really good day. (Actually, this part might be news to some of you.)
2. While some people in this world are sociopathic jackasses beyond any scope normal humans can begin to comprehend, some people are really, thoroughly, decent. I brought myself up to assume this was the baseline (yay too many books), and so sometimes I forget to be amazed by it. But you know what? It's amazing.
3. Some of those thoroughly decent people are, in other ways, people whose views I don't understand, and whose prejudices make me despair of humanity. Some of them think Fox news is the place to go if you want it told like it is. I've never actually watched Fox news, but I think I can be forgiven for believing the lily-livered liberals on this one and assuming that view isn't entirely correct.
And yet those people are still thoroughly decent in some ways that also really matter. I don't always understand how that works, and sometimes when I do understand it, it mostly just makes me sad. But right now I'm looking at the other side of it, the one where it's beautiful.
4. Yesterday, when I arrived at my apartment, I discovered that my Mysterious Roommate had, mysteriously, shut both big windows in the apartment and then proceeded to, as best as I could tell, fry a fish. Gentle internet, here is my advice to you: don't do that.
5. LJ spellcheck isn't working, maybe in protest over all the times I've forgotten to use it. In celebration on this fact, I'll tell you all my method for remembering how to spell necessary (as opposed to, say, neccesary): two donkeys swim in one ocean. Of course, now I can't be sure this is the right way to pluralize donkey. Damn you, LJ.

I then marvelled at your Mysterious Roommate's mysterious ways a lot. For at least two seconds. Before I read it again and found out the truth.

(Also also, OH HEY, I owe you promptage. o.O But! I have now rejoined the land of the internet-having for a little while, so it might ACTUALLY HAPPEN. Say, you don't want the dead Kris bunny by any chance, do you? I even have a vague end for it now, I've just lost my writing powers for good.)

On the good side, I'll be recognized for my absolutely-not-mysterious self! Yay.
*The math is confusing but sound.
