Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I don't have a microwave. Well, I didn't, but then someone moving out of my building left theirs in the hallway (which seems to be our general reuse/recycle drop point), so I grabbed it and put it on top of my cupboards, where it has lived undisturbed since I got it. I have no space to put it where it would be useable, and I'm too lazy to get it down when I could possibly need it.

I could really use more cupboards on top of the ones I already have, though. Hmmmm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

How do people survive without a microwave?

Easy!

I use my toaster oven a lot. Also pans on the actual stove.

If I ever cooked, I mean.

Might be kind of hard to reach that way, but whatever floats your boat.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

My penmanship is fairly terrible. A large part of it, according to my elementary school teachers, is because I hold my pen the wrong way, but when I try holding it the right way, it's not any better, and I can only write a few words before getting uncomfortable.

We got report card grades on handwriting up until sixth grade. After that, I switched over to printing whenever I could. I can print much more quickly than I can write in cursive.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I saw some guy on Small Space, Big Style who got rid of his stove/oven in NYC. He relies on a toaster oven and a teeny microwave.

I don't know why I'm so shocked. We didn't get a microwave until I was in 8th grade so I know it's possible.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

brenda, I think you got those last two links backwards.

I usually write block letters, and yess, it's small caps, but it doesn't usually read as ASSCAPS to me. I think between not being uniform computer font letters, and using bigger caps for the starts of sentences and proper nouns, it helps keep the ASSCAPS effect down.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There are a couple of things I'd like to use it (edit: the microwave, not the handwriting) for, but it's not worth giving up the space.
