and you're living beyond all your means
RIP Adrienne Rich.
Final Notations
~Adrienne Rich
it will not be simple, it will not be long
it will take little time, it will take all your thought
it will take all your heart, it will take all your breath
it will be short, it will not be simple
it will touch through your ribs, it will take all your heart
it will not be long, it will occupy your thought
as a city is occupied, as a bed is occupied
it will take all your flesh, it will not be simple
You are coming into us who cannot withstand you
you are coming into us who never wanted to withstand you
you are taking parts of us into places never planned
you are going far away with pieces of our lives
it will be short, it will take all your breath
it will not be simple, it will become your will

For that most recent WIP meme, this is the only story I have that has 7 pages atm:
Steve doesn't know what to make of that. If he didn't know better, he'd think Bucky was jealous, but that's ridiculous. It's true, Steve didn't have a lot of friends before the serum, but Bucky had accepted the Commandos with open arms and friendship. It'd taken him a little longer to warm up to Peggy, but that was only because he'd been afraid she'd break Steve's heart. Steve had long ago given up on the idea that Bucky was interested in him--it wasn't acceptable in the forties and even if it had been, he knows Bucky still looks at him and sees the skinny, asthmatic kid he was, not the man he's become. Not that he wants Bucky to want him just because he's Captain America now, but--
"You okay there, Steve? You look like you got lost in your own head again." Bucky's voice is sympathetic.
"Yeah, I'm good. I'm fine. You ready to go?"
"Hell, yeah. I've been ready since I got here. Be nice to see Brooklyn again."

So Sebastian Stan is playing a drug addict in a new miniseries with Sigourney Weaver (she's his mom!) and a rentboy - excuse me - gigolo in a movie with Rosario Dawson and Famke Janssen as his clients (and Dianna Agron, who may or may not be his girlfriend at any given moment? I really don't care about his real life romantic entanglements). SO MUCH HOT RIGHT THERE I CAN'T EVEN. IT IS AS IF THE UNIVERSE HAS BEEN READING MY TUMBLR. I feel like
devildoll and I kind of willed this into existence, though really, have you seen him? My $50 for the powder room tag has never been more fitting!

Ugh. Work. I hate politicians in the normal course of things, but discovering today that 1/4 of the congressional delegates I need to fax to don't have fax numbers and another 1/4 have fax numbers that don't work, and of those, you can fill in the form on their website, but only if you live in their district, has made me a little ragey. So I spent some time this morning searching for appropriate addresses. Ugh. Your government at work. Or not, as the case may be.
