"I don't do tender so good." I think that's bullshit, Allyson. It's in there, and I bet you can bring it to the page. Tough-tender is the Best Evah, imo. But then, I wrote a story with the line "Kiss me, you idiot." So I may be projecting.
Spike: Lots of fuss over one girl. Other things to do around here--important things. Angel: You know that whoosh thing you do when you're suddenly not there anymore? I love that.

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

I thought it already was there on the page; implicit is so cool, because the reader goes back, and looks, and wonders: whoa, is that what I'm seeing, or am I reading it in myself?
Best kind of projection.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Thanks, Deb.
Ginger, that one was disturbing.

Ginger, that one was disturbing.
I was just thinking that about yours. Bells have turned out to be a good topic.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I love this thread. I learn so much from this thread, even when I'm totally not involved in the conversation.

I don't believe in martyrs. In the end, we all die useless. Why should I dry my eyes, dry my eyes, over and over again?
Ancizar Giraldo was a farmer. They tell me he died. I don't know which side killed him. But I know it was me.
I live in the comfort developed by aggression. I eat the fruits of our oppression. I create the environment that fosters addiction. Diamonds for Africa, cocaine for Columbia, oil for Iraq. I know it was me.
Ring the church bells, carry his body over the river. I won't remember. I won't forget.

Liese, you just killed me.
I'd been listening to "Sympathy for the Devil" in the car coming home, and was actually singing under myt breath when I read your piece:
"I shouted out, who killed the Kennedys? When after all, it was you and me..."

Oh my, Liese. Poking at prickly places.
