Oh, and a topic idea for Teppy--maybe at some point we could do Fateful Farewells, or Departures or Goodbyes or somesuch.
Harmony: Somebody remembered to pick me up the sweetest unicorn. Guess someone was feeling guilty for standing me up in tenth grade. Brad: What? Had to get her something. She sired me. Peaches: Sire-whipped.

Thank you, ma'am -- I bookmarked it.

Fate drabble
My answering machine is blinking, red, red, red. I hit the button as I walk by, collapse onto the chair to listen. I expect Ronnie or El. Maybe Amy.
The voice is deep and male and familiar, though I haven't heard it in five years. Holy shit. Dave. Last time I spoke to him he was in Australia...or wait, maybe Arizona. How did he get this number?
He works in tv now; he's going to be in New York next week. Do I want to get together?
I write down his pager and feel wary, weary. He better not still have that adolescent crush.
I've sworn off men.

I was also going to suggest a drabble, Teppy--how about "famous last words"? It could lend itself to all kinds of topics from goodbyes to times when the character said something they later regretted.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Hee hee hee, Kristin. I should really do this one. I love turning things into fateful encounters.

Because books.
Um...P-C, I think I read more into it that I was supposed to. Or maybe I was just tired. But I actually truly think it's weightier than you're making it out to be. If I finish the pages I absolutely have to write today, I'll email you some comments later. But be warned, it might be tomorrow instead.
Kristin, that's wonderful!
I was watching Antiques Roadshow last night, and I was suddenly struck with the inspiration to drabble about "hope chests," Teppy. But that might be too narrow. Maybe just antiques? Or maybe "found treasure"? (Maybe I should just stop babbling...)

Swouncing
When catching up on this thread, nearly every word or combination of words suddenly seemed like they could be a topic for a drabble, funnily enough.

I keep thinking of subjects for drabbles, then my brain pulls the switch and says "I'm tired of writing about me." Maybe it's time to extrapolate fun stuff for my ancestors or something.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I've been having a time writing about not-me, too. I really am trying for this one, because I need to get back into the swing of it.
But maybe I should do a character one. I was thinking of starting character studies in preparation for nanowrimo this year, anyway. Hmm.

Merci, Madame. Have bookmarked.
