Oh, dude, I totally should have said nautilus.
I'M A HACK!

Over it now.
I want to torture you. I used to love it, and it's been a long time. I mean, the last time I tortured someone, they didn't even have chainsaws.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
After my whole speech on why I only write things related to my WIP, what did I do but come home and have an inspiration for a personal drabble:
None of Your Business Casual
There’s nothing wrong with the blank pants and gray sweater. They fit. The cut and color flatter. But all day I’m uncomfortable and out of sorts. My clothes are a costume for a role chosen out of dreary necessity, not passion, a role I’ve been trying to shed for almost a decade now.
I come home, turn on Noggin for my daughter, head upstairs, and change clothes. The moment I put on my jeans is sensual pleasure--the denim soft yet heavy, scratchy yet good on my skin.
Until the alarm goes off tomorrow morning, I am myself again.

I'm getting the pig!
Good one, Susan.

Skin
My skin has been slowly transformed over the years; but my scars all commemorate trivia, not trauma. Spilled soup made the burn mark on my chest. The permanently smashed kneecap was the result of a fall off a ladder while changing a light bulb. The gouges above my ankles were made by close encounters with dishwasher doors and other major appliances. My fingers were sliced by various knives aimed at fish and vegetables. My face contains permanent records of shaving accidents. I occasionally consider getting a tattoo that simply reads "klutz", but I always decide that it would be redundant.[Edit: Thanks DCP]

A propos of the discussion in Bitches today, that one made me LOL.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
All of the drabbles for Deena's topic have been great!
If anyone else has something they'd like to use as a prompt, please let me know.

Have now skimmed rather than skipped that discussion. In context of that discussion isn't "made me LOL" now Bitchspeak for "I found it really repulsive"? [Er being funny. I'm know if that is what you wanted to say, that is not how you would tell me.]

Nah, I just meant that I don't use LOL unless an actual laughing noise made it past my lips!
