Her slick interiors easily manipulated with the familiar stratagem of an old mathematician, achieving in her unique way the perfect equation a number of times.
Funniest. Thing. Ever.
You know what they say about payback? Well I'm the bitch.

I like to talk about politics with people that agree with me, and I like high class places.

Always Anti-fascist!
Not to me...I barely passed math. :)

Thanks for all the fish.
this was a no-holes barred type of experience, literary and figuratively.
I have no words for this...
But, you know, since she used the math metaphor earlier in the story (and I am stunned that these scenes are all from one story) I guess that's why she's using literary here now.

I believe vampires are the world's greatest golfers
Oh my freaking lord.
Dana, it's cruel to make a seven-months-pregnant woman laugh so hard.
They were all beautifully atrocioius, but for sheer non-sequiturness I think the Florida Marlins reference wins my vote.

... So, Google isn't picking it up.
Can I have a link to this woman's website?

Sometimes I feel like the only person left who knows the difference between "reign" and "rein."
No. No, you're not. I practically give universal recs anytime I see it used correctly.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Can I have a link to this woman's website?
a) I wouldn't want to link to the site anyway, because of referrer logs, and
b) She doesn't have one. It's posted on a Nikita board.

I reserve my scorn for 'phase' and 'faze' substitutions.

Even for a horsey type, it's easy to type reign for rein, and then the freaking spellcheck doesn't catch it.
And, err, *ifyou'renotusingbetas* it can slip through.
Though I caught it the one time I typed it wrong, it was in a beta'd story, and it didn't slip through, I'm always worried that it will.
Being as I'm using betas less and less for shorter material. Which is an uncomfortable thing to admit to, but true.
Coastal, for example, I didn't send through a beta pass. I just re-read and tweaked with it a few days later, when I got home from L.A. I feel like I'm going to hell for this.

Thanks for all the fish.
Past and passed is my particular red flag.
