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 look like I escaped from a Tim Burton movie, so I'm quite pleased.

This? True today, too.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Is there a day that isn't true?

...

Not once I leave the house. There are days when I'm doing chores so I'm not be-frilled and petticoat-ed up, but am running around in stripy socks and bloomers and some sort of spooky t-shirt. So not *quite* Tim Burton all the time.

I have no motivation again. Someone remind me that I really should be getting on with editing work, instead of procrastinating?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Allyson, in regard to:

I think he loves you more than me already. You got a moon, I got my face ripped off. Who do you really think holds more influence?

This is TIM. He specializes in injuring or killing off those he really loves.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I know! His relationship with me is so distant, yet with Allyson--hands on.

Or, you know, off.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Now can you tell my why Aspercreme doesn't actually contain aspirin?

Sadly, that one's one of life's eternal mysteries.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I always figured it was along the lines of "It feels like rubbing asprin directly on the ouchy-- if that actually worked."

But Grape Nuts are beyond me.

Well, it's a salicylate, so it's in the same sort of general *family* as aspirin.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

And actually, when I typed that, I was really thinking about AsperGUM, which my grandmother used to give me when I had a headache.

What is even happening?

Aspergum has aspirin in it, I think. It had that twang.
