It's simple. I slap 'em around a bit, torture 'em, make their lives hell...Sure, the nice guys'll run away,but every now and then you'll find a prince like Spike who gets off on it.

Well, I use people-meds. (I just love the look on a new pharm's face when I explain I can't put it on my insurance, and no, I don't need to apply for aid, it's for my cat.)

I just have to do the research.

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

I'm picturing Debbie Allen in Fame. Without the cane.

Clutching my stomach instead?

It's a thought.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooooh. So, so jealous.

It should be fun, right? With all the new talk show giveaway stuff Mizrahi-style! I think I'll go even if I can't find someone who can go with me in the middle of a work day.

Crazy-driving uncle could probably tell you all the back routes to Austin....

I go ho...I mean to the stores, now.

My father-in-law just called to tell us he thinks we should evacuate.

If we do stay, I don't actually think the hurricane's going to be the source of most stress.

I'm in a "make the bad weather stop, mommy!" place, but I'm high on allergy medication, I probably need to eat something, and work is kicking my ass.

We're in a townhouse that's smack in the middle of a group, so we're fairly sheltered.

This is true.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Eh. At the moment, I've swung back around to...um, I'm not quite sure how to describe it. Right now, it's taking people 6 hours to get to Austin and 12 to Dallas, and a 12 hour commute in heavy traffic probably *would* kill my husband.

Yuck. That's terrible.

This is yet another reason why we need flying cars already.

And my parents. And my grandparents. All of whom will be worrying about us.

Hmm, like as a reward for surviving the past month? I could get behind that. That nifty new production of Sweeney Todd is opening.
