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.

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

I'm never sure how to spell my mother's maiden name, so often (but not predictably so) I use my maternal grandmother's maiden name. Just confuses things.

I have varying degrees of formality and security of passwords depending on what they give access to, but I don't use fake names for anything other than my extra gmail addresses. And I couldn't tell you what names I used for those.

I memorize random series of characters.

Yes, I know I'm a freak.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I sometimes use the numbers from my bicycle combo padlock...that I had in school...30 years ago.

I am like Drew. I have a set of about six bizarre and semi-random passwords, eight to twelve characters long, that I use under different circumstances. Like, if the site is financial in nature, I use one of the two longest. If the site is fluff, I use one of the two shortest. I also have four different 4 character numerical passwords for things like ATM codes.

Especially the web site passwords, there is no possible way to guess what they are. And I have them committed to memory.

I also have at least two combinations of Drew's memorized. I'm not as crazy as Drew, but I'm in the neighborhood.

Anyone have any idea why everything I print from Firefox is suddenly 50%? Word docs, PDFs, etc. are fine, but for some reason, Firefox is printing very small. I've tried printing to the big printer and the one attached to my computer. If I print from IE, it's fine.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Check the settings in File-->Page Setup ?

I'm not sure where the buttons on this mouse are. Perhaps the eyes? Hell of a job.

Woe to the fucking wicked.

I think the top of the skull is in 2 parts that are the buttons. There's the arc above the nose-hole, and then the crack running up from that.

Very cool

For some reason an articulated skull is much grosser to me that a mouse made out of a real skull. Although if that's really sheep it must be a lamb. Maybe that's how come--the skull hasn't fused yet.
