"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

Sail, it reminded me of "To His Coy Mistress" as well, but it has been heavily mined for titles. I played with the idea of something from the last two lines:

Thus, though we cannot make our sun
Stand still, yet we will make him run.

Something like "Make Our Sun Stand Still."

I don't think my favorite lines, the twist the metaphysical poets so loved, would be appropriate.

"[T]hen worms shall try
That long preserv'd virginity,
And your quaint honour turn to dust,
And into ashes all my lust.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Our wings are not tired.

Sigh.

Ginger, I thought about those lines, too!

Dusty Virginity
Wormy Lust
Lust to Dust

Because books.

Lust to Dust! Bwah!

I think (I *think*) I'm going to be a total rebel and call it COLD KISS. My critique group tonight did that collective "ooooh" when I suggested it.

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

COLD KISS

I like this one.

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

The threads challenge is now closed.

This week's challenge is bunnies (or rabbits, if you prefer).

Always Anti-fascist!

for the challenge: As she gets ready to move, she wonders if she should take them all; the fake furry creatures that shared her youth. Mickey and Minnie, Snoopy, lions and Easter rabbits. She loves animals but has only recently had her own pet, and every time she had a pang for her childhood cat, she added to her plush menagerie, and now it’s quite a zoo. There is a story attached to each one: holidays, zoo visits, the friends that gave them to her. But it seems kind of like tearing some hearthrob’s photo out of a magazine and planting big lusty kisses on it, at her age, to carry that stuff around again. Maybe she should pass them on and let some other girl make her own story.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

If I'm right in thinking I'm writing a 500-page book, I've finally reached the halfway mark.
