It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Because books.

Oooh, but that's a good one, too, erika. Awesome way to look at characterization.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
What would you tell them?
It's a lot like Connie's, but I've long believed it -- "Tell. The. Truth."

What is even happening?
I hate nuts in my brownies and chocolate chip cookies.
(That's for *both* topics)

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I've written so truthfully, I'll either be a big star or make people hate me.Maybe both. And I really like nuts. But they don't make me, you know, die. If they did, I wouldn't. Probably. (I do have that Plath fangirl part of my past and "death is my gift" so who's to say.) There is a place on the ritzy side of town that makes the best brownies ever...lots of variety, stuff like that. Mostly they are second-string desserts. Ooh, death, nuts, and what I like to put in my mouth...How long till I'm LKH?
