oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

lynette is the character I see as most real. and even though I don't have kids , something about the everydayness of her poroblems and mistakes make it easy to identify with her. Susan , I liked at the beginning - and I think if she handled her kluttzyness with more grace- i could deal with her better. Or planned for it better. ( have an autoclub membership ( or at least carry a cell phone) , give a neighber a key, ) . gabrieel is sorta like watching a train wreck. no sympathy, but I don't hate her, 'cause I don't expect much from her. Bree is hard one for me. She suffers from the sin of self-rightousness, mixed with some major flaws. I haven't seen last night's ep, but the disrespect shown to her by her son,earned. I get really angry about her. but on the other hand she is such a characiture that I can't see her as real.

forgot Edie - who doesn't really ping me one way or the other. she seems more like a catalyst than a character

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

I've yet to run across a fictional Susan who isn't a bitch or no longer a friend of Narnia or somehow ridiculous or something.

The Discworld has a pretty awesome Susan.

If I only had a brain...

Oh, yes. The discworld Susan kicks righteous ass.

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

I'ma have to read those for that alone.

Hells, yeah. I love Susan Sto-Helit.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

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

Susan on Coupling was by far the most sensible character.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

My great-grandma Susan totally rocked. (Even if it wasn't her real name)
