I'm fairly certain I said no interruptions.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, hey, speaking of manga, do I want to read either Escaflowne or Angel Sanctuary? Enough to pick them up for $5 a volume at Half Price Books?

I didn't realize it was a competition

Oh, it isn't, and you're allowed to feel any way you like, of course!

I just have that Owns Big Stacks of Manga street cred. Yeah. That's it.

I haven't read Escaflowne yet, but Micole would tell you to read Angel Sanctuary. (Which you don't need to buy unless you want it in book format. t cough I'm just saying. Micole's a pusher and I'm a junkie.)

t Raises eyebrows...

Turn two, the rest are food?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That was the second point in your post ( Jesse "Natter 39 and Holding" Oct 4, 2005 2:01:39 pm PDT ) with whose substance I was agreeing (the CSI candy note was the first).

Well then, you could have just said that in the first place, and avoided all these hurt feelings, couldn't you?

Anyway. Has anyone seen any of these Bravo "Great Things About Being..."? I'm watching Great Things About Being Fat, and it's both hilarious and so so wrong. The shit they get away with is crazy. For one thing, they said, "Fat goes with baseball like Mike Piazza goes with not being gay." har.

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

Did I wound your soul, like I did msbelle earlier today?

I think it's more viral, like a meme rather than a pyramid scheme.

Well, then. Never mind.

I'll have to send you a list. There's this one -- I can't explain it. It must be seen. The plot? Four boys + four penises + four souls = soul-swapping penis possession hijinks!

It's BEYOND crack. I think we need a new word.

sniff

No, no -- I'm OK.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

No, no -- I'm OK.

Oh, don't worry honey, she makes everybody cry. She's like a monster.

Allyson, what Jesse said. It's good writing, dammit, and you have an agent who actually believes in you and is dedicated to getting your words out. No dream-flushing, please.

But, shit, yeah, the rejections hurt. You're allowed to feel the hurt, just not to drown your darling on account of it.

Also, almost totally unrelated to any of that, I was skimming madly upthread and came across this:

ita: Still, breasts are way funnier.

Allyson: It's not working. My dream is circling the bowl.

which my eyes conveyed to my brain as this:

Allyson: My breasts are circling the bowl

which is possibly marginally more surreal than goose-in-flight Kalshane sculpture.
