Yeah, that's really good. I like Alara, she's quite thoughtful.
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

You sip / say it's your crazy / straw say it's you're crazy / as you bicycle your soul / with beauty in your basket
Hm. I think I disagree with it in a few different ways; but then again, my personal definition of Mary Sue pretty much is "is it an unrealistic, or boring, over-sympathetic character? stamp her ass." I find MS in original intendedly-literary fiction all the time.

As in I speak for you, or I'm your Mary Sue? 'Cos if it's the latter, I must shamefacedly admit to not owning any bladed weapons. Not because I don't want to, but because The Husband doesn't think it would be a good idea to let me have any.

What does it say about my worldview that I was intially shocked by that statement? "But," I said to myself, "Everyone needs to have bladed weapons!"
Buy your own, Jilli, buy your own.

Oh, I plan to. But apparently The Husband and my mom think giving me bladed weapons is a bad idea. Dad, on the other had, thinks I should be given all sorts of implements of destruction.

That's what Dads always believe of their little girls. My father taught me about automotive mechanics and hand tools while my older sisters were off in the fabric store with my mother.
