Shouldn't be this hard, suddenly.
As you would say to me: You're thinking too hard and freaking yourself out. Don't make me hide the keys to your Firebird.
What'd you all order a dead guy for?

If I only had a brain...
A head-trick that sometimes works for me: Get out a smallish notebook and handwrite. The short pages force you to move forward; looking back takes effort. Also you can't edit.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
F it all. C everything. M the next guy who asks me.

Careful now. I'm pretty sure that's how Lisa Marie ended up with Michael Jackson.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I am desperately looking for my notes on an essay I am writing about Penlind, the chick who lied about having a dying baby at the Bronze.
I can't find them!
But while digging, I found my review of Out of Gas from way back when.
I forgot how much I hated Firefly.

Hey Allyson! I got PIRATE STUFF!
And I've been in training for a week and am brain-fried and my phone is behaving mysteriously. But right now there's a wee little pirate-man sitting in Angel's lap, and that's all that matters. Thank you!

AWESOME! Finally. Only like, a week late.
Angel would totally bone a pirate.

Oh, it should have been here last Friday but [razzle frazzle UPS bastard-people]. You're way ahead of Mugga, who's been promising me a pirate book for months. Sob.
Years ago I got two of the Angel books (from the used rack at the library, not that I'm defensive at all) and in one he's kind of a pirate. Man. I need to find those and reread them, because they were so amazingly incoherent.
I appear to have hit the "mindless rambling" portion of exhaustion. Whee! Oh, and I'm taking tomorrow off, so if you have another Beta-reading spree please count me in.

What is even happening?

What sort of info are you looking for, Allyson? I wasn't on the BIT, but I remember some Penlind details. I was still very wet behind the ears on the linear side, and the whole thing made a tremendous impression on me.

One Hot Burrito!
You know who's abandoned Minearverse? Minear.
This absence better be worth an awesome new, show-type announcement.
