WHAT DO YOU MEAN PERFECT IS IMPOSSIBLE! I'LL GIVE YOU IMPOSSIBLE! NOW YOU DANCE, LITTLE GIRL, DANCE!

not real sure where she came from, however. she's the opposite of my mom. what i'm saying is: maybe it's good that i don't have kids.

positive thinking's for sissies! you gotta learn to embrace the dark side if you're going to get anywhere real with the light. barbara ehrenreich is my hero. ;-) (seriously? she did an interview while i was still at the radio station and as much as i loved her, that's how much most of our callers seemed to hate her. and wanted to argue with her. and explain away every truth she spoke about surviving breast cancer in the strange and often marginalizing culture surrounding breast cancer. she put into words a lot of what my mom's experienced with it in bright sided. just on a basic human interaction level, it can be difficult when any illness serves as such a spotlight.) what's tricky is finding the balance. i don't know that i'm ever going to find it. not in a perfect way to be sure. that's impossible.

"giant foo" is definitely some familiar terrain, right now.
