You two carried me through that war. Now I need you to carry me just a little bit further. If you can.

"I'd rather discuss the permutations of swordplay, with an undertone of definite allusion to sex." Beverly, offering an example of when your characters give you 'tude.

Susan:

Thank you so much. That would be wonderful.

Kristin: Congrats! Ohh, that has the potential for wonderful "enlightening" puns. Terrible. I know. This is probably the reason why even my editorials for the mag have to go through the co-editor, because of my inability to use "tasteful restraint."

Press releases! Paens to exuberance about the most innocuous stuff. But, heck, they're paying you, so Woot!

I would have been a great PR/advertising person, except I feared for my soul.

Yay, Kristin!

I've written press releases, and the last I looked, I still had my soul. It's media relations and lobbying that sucks it out of you.

I had a bone-deep certainty that one day I'd find myself writing releases touting air pollution as making sunset more colorful or that nuclear leaks aided the evolutionary process by kick-starting potentially useful mutations.

I'm a very good BS-er. I try to use my power for good.

There is evidence that people who are exposed to low levels of radiation are healthier.

Thanks everyone! I'm not overly worried about my soul. It was being eaten alive more by the public school system than a press release could ever do.

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

Congratulations, Kristin!
