Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

Erin, I'm with on something off - damned if I know what - about that last verse. I think it may be the "It's him".

In other news:

1. I have BOOKS!

2. Amazon is now taking customer reviews of "Weaver", and recs as to what to pair it with. Go! Go forth, my beta readers, and love me to Amazon! Remember, it's the Tuscan Bitches compound at stake...

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Ok, let's see...

Poor little girl, with your red tattoo on your sleeve.
Who did you bleed for?
Whose secret sign is it?
How many years will go by before someone knows
you branded love on your flesh for him, only him,
only him, forever.
And that you have been waiting -- as long as it takes --
whatever it takes,
whatever.

And now he sits, runs a finger along that red heart,
and smiles.
He looks familiar; wonder why? you think
as you hand him his beer and hurry away.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Ooh! Much better! It makes her hurrying away stand out so much more.

Yes. That falls far more effectively, methinks.

BTW, Deb, I hope to have some comments to you sometime this weekend.

b.org ate my post:

Deb, I'm so excited for your book! I looked at Amazon yesterday to see if any more reviews were up; I can't wait to see what people say!

Whoooo you!

Weet! Go, best seller! Choose, best seller!

Manoman. Plus I want to finish Matty Groves and get the sucker out in full final form to beta readers everywhere.

OK, since no one ran away screaming at the first one....

__________________________

Too many time you wander,
searching the night for the right --
the right boy, the right plan, the right excuse.

And sometimes you find all three.
Lucky you.

But I hear you searching in the night,
sounding your cry, shrill and plaintive,
over the clamor of the crowd,
and I am appalled by your naivte and boldness.

But I don't want to shelter you.
I want to watch you seek, and crash and burn, and rise.

Because then I don't have to.

OK, there's something - damn. I can't analyse; I refuse.

But I can try this, Erin, and please tell me sod off and shut the fuck up if not?

But I don't want to shelter you.

and rise.

Because that way?

I don't have to.

(There's just something - something in the pauses, or the breaths.)

No, no. No sodding off, here.

I pondered (god, how pretentious!) the crash and burn line, too.

I do like the irony in dropping, the "rise" line - that's good.

Hrm.
