Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Alibelle, did you see my post about buying a pink leather ipod case?

No!

It's the bestest.

I'm really not surprised.

I almost bought a pink leather jacket the other day, but Bank of America foiled my plans, by refusing to allow me to make a deposit. Stupid Bank of America.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

And now, I'm off to visit my brother and collect my mail. Ta ta etc.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

It warmed up here just enough to snow. Sadly, the temp inside my apartment is lower than last night. It's actually 3° lower than the landlord is legally required to keep it.

Also, I want a pink tool kit. With pink tools.

I just read a paperback romance in which the hero mocked the heroine for having a pink hammer. She pointed out that at least she had one, and knew how to use it. The fact that it was stylish just added to its pizzaz.

It's warmer here than last night--that was really cold and had to have been below code. But, they basically turn the boiler off at 10:00 pm and let the radiators go cold until around 4:00 am, which is a pain at about this time of night.

What book was it? For some reason, that's sounding vaguely familiar.

(And then I really am going to be asleep. Because my eyelids are getting veeeeeeeery heeeeeeeaaaaaavy...)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I note that if a girl has a pink hammer, it's unlikely the boys will borrow it, so bonus points.

Timelies! It's 6F here, but it's supposed to get up to 20F here today. t pauses for cheering

t would hear only crickets but they're unaccountably frozen

t decides the only course of action is to be horribly cheery

t the phrase "frozen smile" seems to apply
