I caught her on a park bench, making out with a *chaos* demon! Have you ever seen a chaos demon? They're all slime and antlers.

Very interesting, erika -- what's your article about?

t edit And I immediately thought of amych and Plei when I saw the Web site.

It's a memory about me, my dad, and the horse he had when I was a teenager.(See, my life isn't really the Jossverse, All Bad Dads All the Time.)

Yay, erika!

erika, that is so excellent! My mom and 2 aunts and 1 cousin are horsewomen -- I'll have to hook them up with the site.

Thanks. Like I said, definite mood booster.

It *should* be! That's a BIG reason for woo-hoo, in my opinion!

Yeah! But, see, last time, I made a big deal, and then the magazine was like "It's not you, it's me," and no clip. So I'm holding back, just a little.

Rock on, Erika!

While I'm here, I'll ask.

I have this thing I've been working on for the past six months or so. It's not a story, but it's not non-fiction, either. It's a fictional account of what I've been calling a "platonic climb" on a cliff in upstate New York. Sort of "this is what it's like to do this and this is what it feels/sounds/smells/tastes like, on an October Day on a multi-pitch route in the Gunks west of New Paltz." I've made up the climb and the characters but not the emotions or the experiences.

If that makes any sense.

Oh, and it's in 2nd person, dunno why.

I'm not quite done, but I'm trying to figure out what to do with it when it is. Any suggestions?
