I want a space to express gratitude for everyone I encounter here in Defaultia who help me make my life a little burnier.

So: Thank you, check out clerk at the supermarket who made eye contact with me and shared a moment of humanity!

Thank you to the person who attempted to hold the door for me as I entered a shopping mall. The door slipped and was not held, but the attempt to be courteous was very much appreciated. That's all I got---everyone else have been assholes!

Three times today I got eye contact and warm smiles back from people - two while driving! Thank you!

thankyou shoppers who are really happy when I help them find what they need, and give them answers for mundane repairs, as well as for the absolutely useless and fun creations they don't think they should even consider. "Yes, I'm sure you can do that. Have fun with that."

Thank you to all the people on my weekend trip (4 airports, 23 hrs total transit time) who helped me keep most of my humanity. I hardly even wanted to kill the guy overflowing into my seat between Spokane and Seatac.
