But butter is all wrong when you forget, and leave it out on the counter.
No! Stop sitting with me! My butter is on the counter RIGHT NOW, and it's soft and spreadable and nummy.
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, please don't take that as a slam.
I didn't, silly girl.
You're just misguided weatherwise, hon. There are fab outfits for the southwestern gothy-fashion genius, I hope. More hoops? Fans?
But but but ... hot! Ew! Humidity! Double-ew!
I've heard that clever clever people have sewn pockets inside their hoop skirts (or regular full skirts), and then put ziplock bags of ice in the pockets to help keep cool. I haven't tried it myself, yet.

Apart from sports, "my secret favorite thing on earth is ketchup. I will put ketchup on anything. But it has to be Heinz." - my husband, Michael Vartan
No! Stop sitting with me! My butter is on the counter RIGHT NOW, and it's soft and spreadable and nummy.
Eww. Your butter is wrong. I buy stuff that the scientists made that stays congealed, but is still all soft and spreadable and nummy, and is not a melted mess on my counter. It's called...
I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, Light
And it's awesome.
Also, all this walking has made me tired, and I'm keeping my seat. You may move, however.

See, that's how they survived before it was a choice!
(I hope. I lived in shorts and tank tops and sundresses and swimsuits. Not at all sure how my predecessors didn't kill people who told them to wear corsets in that climate.)
(and where I grew up, no humidity. 4000 ft in the desert sw. No moisture to speak of.)

LIGHT!!!!???!
I can believe it's not butter. It doesn't taste/spread/look like butter, silly.

Oh, I so totally grabbed the last block of real salted butter at Safeway tonight.
It's for grilled cheese sandwiches, damnit.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
Put me in the all-autumn, all-the-time corner with tommyrot and Jilli, please!
It took me two hours to get home. The highway was about the same as the back roads, but everyone was still going 45 miles an hour, so I bailed and took the backroads, where 20 mph was perfectly fine, and I was able to pull over and get the ice off my wiperblades a couple of times. Blah.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Butter can live on the table very comfortably.
...except in the heat of summer, when it gets too hot and starts melting and getting nasty JUST LIKE PEOPLE DO.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
All you autumn and winter people are nutty. Except for Jilli, since she is wise in terms of the whole Halloween thing.
Also, there is nothing new to entertain me on my television. What movie should I watch?
