Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That might be the weirdest catalogue I've ever seen. I mean, "Today’s Gothicists decorate the “littlest room” with wings, scales, and talons!"??

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

shrift, I've found that I always get to a place where I want to read the things I never wanted to read again.

Perhaps one day I will. I mean, I'm entertained that I have an application for an ATM card I filled out in Portuguese sitting on my lap right now, but do I really want to keep it in perpetuity? I think it's better for me if I don't.

Plus, we want to read it.

Ha ha ha! Oh, hell no.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Was someone asking about long gloves? or was that some other thread?

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

It should roar whenever you lift the lid. Alternatively, have a wee flamethrowing episode when you flush.

Maybe the idea is that dragons squat on gold hordes thus putting that on your "throne" turns shit into gold? Would be hell on the plumbing.

I just want to know who are calling themselves "Gothicists", because I need to stage an intervention.

I want to know who calls the bathroom the "littlest room."

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

The word "Gothicists" is cracking. me. up. Hee!! I'm a Gothicist!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

If someone who studies physics is a physicist, does that mean a gothicist is one who studies goths?

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Endearments: I use them a lot. I try not to at work, but I call just about everyone I know "sweetie", "pumpkin", "darling", "my dove", or other random terms of endearment at one point or another.

The previous Queen Elizabeth at JZ's Ren Faire used to greet all the children with a very cheery, "Hello, poppets!" which was charming.

I encourage Jilli to add "poppet" to her repetoire of endearments, particularly as an affectionate diminuative.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I think the use of "littlest room" is a misremembering of a famous wisecrack by an author to a critic.

"I sit in the smallest room in the house. Your review is before me, but will soon be behind me."
