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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just got an email from someone who wanted my phone number so she could yell at me. HA HA HA.

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

Give her GWB's phone number, Jesse.

I've just remembered a third reason I might faint. The whole not eating thing.

Know what suck? Vicious FUCKING circles. Or cycles. Or both. Whatever.

She told you this?

I'm waiting for a response from someone. And I need it today, because stuff is on the calendar for tomorrow that needs to be pulled if something is indeed wrong.

Of course....silence.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I have sent my e-mail out. There might have been some quietly maniacal laughter.

Now I go have celebratory pancakes. There may also be bacon.

I just got an email from someone who wanted my phone number so she could yell at me. HA HA HA.

This is why I took my phone number of my email sig.

ita, keep your strength up!!

She told you this?

The email went like this: "I am very disturbed. (blah blah about why, which has nothing do with me, and about which I have no information) I would like to call you."

I wrote back about how I'm just a lowly student, but maybe my boss can help her, cc: my boss.

Not for too much longer, missy! Soon you get to rejoin the land of the fulltime have-to-take-the-blame-ers!

Which reminds me, need to do my goddamned goals and objectives.

Interesting to learn Gyllenhaal's a method actor who gets lost in the part, what with Brokeback Mountain coming out next month.
