Plei, it makes me deliriously happy to read that.
You know, I just... I woke up, and I looked in the mirror, and I thought, hey, what's with all the sin? I need to change. I'm... I'm dirty. I'm, I'm bad with the... sex and the envy and that, that loud music us kids listen to nowadays.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

The Firefly essay was wonderful, and I want someone to buy the damn book already so that I can give it to people as a gift.
As soon as the book is published, I'm planning on giving my dad a copy. He'd really like it.
She's cute, funny, and talented. Also, she's on the short side. If you're going to kidnap her when you're in L.A., she may well fit in carry on.
Sure! I'll leave behind some petticoats to fit her in my luggage. I can always get one of the L.A.istas to mail the petticoats to me ...

But but but! I have to take her to Goth Night, so the pet DJ can flirt with her and possibly make with the smoochies!

Well then, in that case, you can borrow Allyson. But, post-smoochies, you need to put her back where you found her.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
(psssst)
ita, you have email. Your avatar is about to take centre stage in London Calling, and I need information. Stuck without it.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't have anything in my inbox, deb -- searching the spam filter now. [eta: just showed up -- will read asap]
Heh--Kristen, I'm reading that blog post right now too.

ita, I laughed and laughed when I got to that. Then I thought, "New tagline!"

ita, bless you, love. I'm literally stopped in the middle of a sentence for lack of the info. And whereas I've done enough for the day - four days away from working on it meant a catchup spurt of 3200 words today - I'm on a roll, we're hitting the crime itself and the roots of the crime (racism), and I wanna keep on keepin' on....

I just hit send, deb.
Kristen, I figured the last line (about the gun in the mouth) would be a pretty good tagline for a scriptwriter too. Maybe Tim can use it. Though it'd probably not be his mouth.
