Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Jealous!
(though I have fed baby giraffes)

As you should be. They are cute. And a little scary up close because BIG.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

So freakin' cool.

Yes! You don't realise just how freakin' big their heads are when they're all the way up there. When they swing them down to your level, that is one massive club. With soft, long eyelashes. (Incidentally, in David Attenborough's The Life of Mammals, I wasn't that impressed with the predators episode, it felt like it'd all been done before. The power shot that gave me chills? Three giraffes advancing on an acacia tree.)

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Ugh. I'm having that late night surf the web and explore the possibilities. Someone tell me I really don't want to go to art school and make clothes no matter how many doodles and sketches I have in my knitting journal.

It's a remora, dimwit.
I don't know about COMM samples, Billy - we're trying to come off as boring as possible. Like, we never make any noise, clean constantly and when we knit, we don't even use bright colored yarn.
It's a lovely 22C day today....but I've incredibly tense because Almanzo is to hear back from the agent about whether we're approved or not.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You misspelled "send the rest to Lee."
If only you'd corrected me before the snarf fest.
One thing I have not done enough of this weekend is sleep. I'm going to try correct that a little.

You should make me a new batch.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Nobody talked me out of it! Now I've got it in my head that if I don't get the non-profit job (screw the other two, they're not really what I want). I'mma go up to the store and tell the GM that I'll take more hours, but I'm going to art school and I want to be trained on the take in side. That way I can get hands on experience with the big designers while I'm in school and make money. Perhaps I'll take on some of the merchandising in exchange. Then, when I actually start making things I'll wear them to the bar where the people with money can see them, want them, and I'll make stuff for them. Everyone will anticipate my graduation and subsequent boutique opening which will be like an open secret amongst the hipsters until it's featured in Lucky, and I get swamped. From there I will design for a house until I retire from the label, create another boutique label and move to my ideal city.
THE END
PS- My clothes will also fit actual women. All sizes of 'em. From my 12-year-old-boy-framed friend Mel to my sumptuously curvy friend Linz. In fact I'll section it off by their names for each of the body types. Muscley, and need something that moves and gives? The Natalia section is right over there. Bigger than a size 8, but like to feel a little sexy, Cyn is on your left ma'am.
