I look more rad than Lutheranism

Remember once that you had a piece about how "writing was always a part of you, or rather how you have always been a part of writing"? A friend of mine, who writes, talked today about her writing, from very early childhood, about how she always felt it's something that belongs to her, and I brought your sentence up, talking about how she always felt connected to the world of writing. So, thanks, I guess.

Nilly! First, I'm *very* touched that you remember that line! Really. And second, you're welcome!

What about "persnickety"?

"The fact that we live at the bottom of a deep gravity well, on the surface of a gas covered planet going around a nuclear fireball 90 million miles away and think this to be normal is obviously some indication of how skewed our perspective tends to be."

What about "persnickety"?

I'm pretty sure that's in our mission statement.

you remember that line

It just rang so lovely, like "if nothing that you do matters, all that matters is what you do" in the sense that it made and the sense in its sound, you know?

Also, English has words that are just fun to say out loud, even if I have no idea what half of the words you're typing may mean.

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

English has words that are just fun to say out loud, even if I have no idea what half of the words you're typing may mean.

That's the whole background to persnickety right there. It's a sequence of syllables that just had to be said, and eventually folks decided it needed a definition, and chose to use it to describe the people who didn't get the joy of saying it.

Or, well, something not at all like that.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

you guys rent, right?

Yep. Because we only pay $895/mo for a 2BR, 1BA duplex house with fenced back yard and half a two-car garage. Can't ever move.

What if I like your definition better? Also, as long as it works (and I've looked this word up, it definitely works!), why not? [Edit: of course, now I can't stop saying "persnickety" out loud to myself. If Tom were here, he'd thing the Israelis only send crazy people on time-travelling missions.]

That sounds like a miracle for LA.

Well, we do live in the Valley, and not on That side of the hill, but yeah.
