Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I'm getting the pig!

I think you may see her in the mirror again.

This, Juliana.

All of the drabbles this week have been outstanding! Y'all should be published. Seriously.

Who's That Girl

When I was seven, you teased me ruthlessly for wanting long, curly hair just like yours.

When I was twelve, you found a pair of your shoes hidden in my closet and you called me cruel names.

When I was seventeen, you found my secret wardrobe and locked me out of my own house, threatening to call the police if I didn’t leave the front porch.

Without your help or your love, it took me longer than it should’ve to understand who I was. Who I am.

I’m no longer your sweet little Danny-boy. I go by Danielle now, mother.

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

Nicole! That fucking ROCKS.

Whooooeeeeeeeeeeee!

Are you posting that up in the LJ community? I need to point Roz Kaveney at it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Very nice, Nicole. Juliana and Ailleann too.

I just sent Roz the link to that. I suspect it may be right up her alley.

Back to work. Have written about 950 words on this bit. I keep telling myself: star bubbles. angel's breath. star bubbles....

Being reeeeeeeeally frickin' careful.

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
