Wash: Well, I wash my hands of it. It's a hopeless case. I'll read a nice poem at the funeral. Something with imagery. Zoe: You could lock the door and keep the power-hungry maniac at bay. Wash: Oh, no, I'm starting to like this poetry idea now. Here lies my beloved Zoe, my autumn flower, somewhat less attractive now she's all corpsified and gross...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Nice one, Raq.

Deb's is too spot on wrt an incident in my own life that I have been thinking about recently for me to say anything other than oof. So, oof.

Wait Room:

It’s the junk room right now, home for all the stuff with nowhere else to go. Bike and wind trainer. Step machine. Free weights. Jump rope. Two heart rate monitors.

I can remember when these were toys, a way to relax and unwind. There was even more, then, but it was active clutter, not dusty junk.

I could get there again, work through the inevitable punishment long years of slack have earned me. Not tomorrow, but eventually. Today, this room chides me with silent accusation.

“At least you aren’t in the attic,” I tell them, and go for a walk.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

-t, I like that too. May I suggest a title:

"Wait Room"

Ha! That's good. (eta:And so I have edited it in)

I forgot to tell you - I really liked your take on vampire hunters. It's a perspective I hadn't thought of, and that's always fun for me.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I haven't read everybody's yet, but my eye lit on Raq's, and I just had to say, the last sentence sent a chill up my spine. The hairs on my arms stood to attention.

Whether I liked it or not is irrelevant. It worked.

Really loving all the drabbles this week. I want to mack on all of you guys, bringing the unexpected to them in such wonderful ways.

-t, I don't have a Wait Room, but I've got my Wait Shelf on the entertainment center. It mocks me everytime I pull out Buffy instead of Denise Austin.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

(if anyone wants to see the guy i'm dating, his URL is up in Bitches the next 4 minutes. Totally selfish FYI for those who don't frequent Bitches,)

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

Awwww. Looks to be a sweetie, Erin.

Letter to Rowling tweaked, and sent. Now I wait, which is mostly what I seem to do with Big Name Blurbs, these days.

And of course, F2F has been All About Harry Potter for the last little bit, with Fay and Pete teasing madly away.

He is sweet. Yet evil. In a good way.

Hee. Okay, .

I wonder how long you'll have to wait for a yea or nay, Deb. I bet she gets a metric shitload of reqs.

Erin, that's one reason I made damned sure that the subject line specified the multiple sclerosis. I suspect that most of the blurb reqs she get are for straight blurbs. This is rather different. It's also why I included the chapter segment.

Good thinking.
