BTW, Erika, loved the story. Could say more, but several other people have said it better. It's more burgundy than merlot. Which is good, because merlot is just too bitter for my tastes.
ETA: In re: Erika's tag. Can I answer "both"? Possibly I have had too large a mugful of Irish cream, but it doesn't seem as sharp as your own writing.
Starkle, starkle, little twink,
Who the heck I is you think,
I am not under the affluence of inkahol
As some thinkle seem to peep I am.
I've had tee many martoonis and a scottle of botch
And the drunker I sit here the longer I get.
I'm not half so think as you drunk I am, why I've got all day sober to monday up on.
See, I passed my mom's field sobriety test. I said it right. So? All this thinking about being drunk doesn't mean I am.
New tag: Smart
I'm going with smart. And a little pretentious, but I like that in people who are cool enough to pull it off. You are, even though you never strike me as the pretentious sort. I think I want to go reread your story again.
Also, after you eat them, you get an evil hand, and run around saying, "KILL, KILL."
Makes you morph into a wee gay and wickedly hot Lindsey? Find me a boy to feed them to...

Took very hot bath. Ate some salad with some warmed salmon on top. Took massive amounts of herbal and moderate amounts of modern medical cures. Had last half glass of Carneros Creek pinot noir from last night's celebrate mom's birthday dinner. Took second very hot bath. Made jasmine pearl (the rolled tea leaves stuff, not the gooey tapioca stuff) tea. Am happier (yay vino and jasmine tea) though still feverish (boo buggies). Sleep is on the agenda.
eta: I lost my personal pronouns and WindSparrow made me laugh. (WindSparrow, where in Az are you?)
I'm gonna add Windsparrow to the plural marriage. Cause that was flattering as fuck.Cass, thanks, I think.;)
Lisah, I told a writer friend that "Don't front..." story and it cracked him up. In fact, when I learned the story was gonna be up today, the subject line to my e-mail was "Guess my shit's tight enough..."
I am going to look at an apartment tommorrow. The description in the paper sounds good and the price is definitely good.
I'm gonna add Windsparrow to the plural marriage.
Kewl, and I was worried I'd die an old maid. Who-all am I joining?
Good luck, sj.
Happy New Year, Bitches. I'm off to bed, now.
