"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."

What is this based on? I assume it's an actual practice, but I haven't heard of it. I like how the string accidentally comes off. It actually sounds like the basis for a great story.

I remember new age-y shops used to sell these bracelets with certain intentions: money, love, etc., that you'd tie on, and you'd get it when it fell off. But last year during playoff season, I read an article saying to tie a yellow string in 3 knots while repeating some phrase to dispel the Curse of The Bambino so the Sox would win the series. Not that I did it, or anything.

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

(poking head in briefly)

Dear beta readers: OK. I am down to the last couple of pages; we're at the circus and major major shit is about to start. Shall I send what I have, or wait?

The status is NOT quo.

Deb, wait as far as I'm concerned. I won't be able to beta for you until tonight anyway, alas, so I'd rather see the whole thing.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I'm with Kristin. Especially cause if you go ahead and finish it, I get to not open my response to you with cursing.

Gronk gronk gronk.

Clowns?

DONE. Sent to Dana, Bev, sj, Ginger, P-C and Kristin at profile addys.

I go clean house now. I didn't even spellcheck or reread a word of the last section. As a whole, the story may suck. But I don't think it does.

Surprise ending, BTW. Twisty.

Yaaay! I can't wait. Except I kind of have to, cause I have to do my transfection and then get home and then eat dinner and watch Smallville and Angel and then maybe I'll have time to read although I do have to find out more about caveolin mutants to make a table for lab meeting tomorrow which speaking of causes me to have to go sleep early and then I've got the nitrogen bomb so I'll try to read it when I can give it the attention it deserves.

Man oh man. You know something?

I did this one in a week, with three days during which I did no work on it at all, because of the wedding weekend. Seven thousand-plus words.

Gronk.
