I'd rather stay home and watch television. It's often funnier than killing stuff.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Well, back in the day (and in some places still) women were literally property and their value was hymen-based. Her virtue was her family's virtue -- it wasn't 'hers' to give away. It really WAS "it's mine and you can't have it unless I say so" on the part of Fathers.

When you leave out the property rights it just comes off as dirty.

Slavery or pervy really seem to be the only options when Daddy is overly interested in such things.

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

I find when you put them in, it's still dirty. It's a hymen, after all.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Heeeeerrrrreeeee motivation,motivation, motivation! Heeeeeerrrrrrreeee motivation, motivation, motivation! I have some nice things for you to do this morning!

Seriously.

And I just realized that the paper I've been more or less blowing off is 60% of the grade for that class. Due Monday. Argh.

Well, at least with the property rights he didn't give so much of an impression of wanting to, you know, do stuff to it. He just owned it and needed to maintain his investment.

OMG, for reals. I cannot do anything except read TWOP recaps. I'm all behind and I watched lots of TV last week!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have motivation! Of course, it's motivation to go home and go back to sleep, but still...

What is even happening?

It's not the fullest trunk, but it has its share of junk.
I love this. I'd tag it, but these days, mine might be the fullest trunk.

I think that's overstating the case, although I'd have rather died than gone to one of those dances.

Some families work themselves out that the parents feel not only are their children their responsibility, but that it actually is within their ability (beyond rules, role-modeling and other forms of influence) to ensure their children's good behavior. The dance strikes me as odd, too. As far as I know, I don't know anyone who would participate, but I can imagine knowing well meaning people who are into neither the property nor incestous angles of it, participating in such a thing.

It shifts him to pimp, and I can't get the dirt out of that either.

Being pimped by your father is less ooky than doing him, but I feel I'm splitting hairs.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I don't have any motivation, but I do have guilt, because I stayed up late last night (and, okay, the night before) playing Sims (I got the new expansion pack on the cheap b/c of a labeling error at the Buy, yay, me and my assertiveness worth $15) and although I'm tired like woah, it's totally my fault and I still have piles and piles of stuff to do. Otoh, I'm hungry, and I have fajita fixings for lunch. Maybe it's time for lunch.
