Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I am seriously pissed off and I'm going to make these cloistered little no-nothings eat their words and eat my dust.

Go, Deb!

Because books.

Not to change the subject, but I am now attempting to write copy for a book with a character named Cinnamon. Yes, it's a romance. I want to barf.

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

I hope the hero nicknames her CinnaBons.

I went to college with a Cinnamon, a Velvet and a Michelin. And to high school with a Precious Love.

Oh, dear lord.

I was just thinking, the other day in K-Mart, that if I hear one more woman calling her daughter "Destiny," I will buy a crossbow. And get Deb to teach me to use it.

Just crank the bow, and aim a little higher than you want to hit. (An Uzi works in much the same way, cept the uzi jumps around a lot more, and you aim LOWER than what you want to hit.)

Always Anti-fascist!

Don't front that my wife's shit ain't tight, bitches. Although that ire isn't all for you...I don't want to be writing twentysomething crips living on peanut butter when I'm ninety, either. Cinnamon should be a man living as a woman, but she's probably not, right?

Nope. Apparently she is the half-Druid sister of another half-Druid (named Isabella, which is one big WTF?!) who has "mated with" a Demon (capital D), and is now a Fledgling learning her Druidic powers.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, look. Fanfic. Without the fan part.

Like, time-specific Druids? Or modern-day druids? Because there weren't a lot of Cinnamon's and Isabella's running about in pre-Roman Britain.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

That makes the baby Jesus, baby Gaia, baby Buddha, baby Devi, and baby Mohammed cry.
