Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

"Think of a situation where you could actually prevent an argument," he said. "Just having this device can make people more attentive because they know they're being monitored."

It'll make me more attentive to all the other things occupying my attention because I'll no longer be using a phone.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

Back now. All packed. I've packed a ridiculous amount for basically a 2 day stay. Probably won't need it all, but how can I be sure?

I hate being out of my comfort zone.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm so sorry, quester. You can't go wrong with having too much stuff. Assuming you can carry it all.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Finally caught up here. Congrats and hugs to those who want them.

Scotland was fun(and much more comfortable weather-wise than here). The con was great and sight-seeing was nice, though I wish we could have stayed longer.

We are now officially owners of the townhouse. We settled and took possession Monday.(where we discovered that the previous owners took the washer and dryer with them. No indication, one way or the other, had been given)A few things have been brought over, and others will be brought over in the next few days.The movers come over Saturday.

Safe travels, quester. Welcome back, and congratulations, Sheryl.

Oh, time for Alton...

Mmmm... fried chicken. So watching this.

I've been watching when I could, libkitty, in between racing around like a craxxy woman (although not ita's boss), and no, I haven't seen Gus post.

This worries me. Because Gus is the coolest.

Gus, come back! Where are you, tall dude?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

We are now officially owners of the townhouse.

Nice! Go home ownership!

It's all crammed into an overnight case and a small backpack.

Same here, Suela.
