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.

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.

I swear to you that I heard Jilli squeeeeeeee just now, across 3 time zones.
BWAH! I was just about to post that I could hear her whimper down here in San Francisco, but I concede that three time zones is much more impressive. And still totally true.
still squeeeeeeeeeeee-ing
Listen, do you hear? -- That is the sound of ultimate delight. My heart made that sound when I saw Batman Begins. The Gothic Miss Manners makes it now.
I want it! I must have it! Someone, anyone, translate the page for me and tell me where I can buy it and for how much!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
How far along are you with the process?
Umm. I have health insurance that gives me a provider directory. Does that count?

Noooo! Now I will never write that short story where Judge Crater, Jimmy Hoffa, and Ambrose Bierce meet in the desert somewhere as founding members of the Disappeared Society.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Does that count?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, why have you people reminded me of The Krays, which I can't even evaluate as a movie, due to it being the main event of possibly the worst date ever. First, the guy wanted to sneak into the movie. Second, he dragged me all over town after looking for his friend/dealer? who wasn't home. Finally, I was like, "You know, I think I have a 10 o'clock curfew. I gotta go."

You can still write one with Aimee Semple McPherson and Agatha Christie as founding members of the I-Was-Lost-Then-Found Society, can't you?
