Cass, in Bitches
Trying to mentally meara is haaaaard. t /Buffista Barbie
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

If I only had a brain...
Shrift: More of a First Against the Wall When the Revolution Comes.
DXMachina: You're gonna need a bigger wall.
shrift: Think China will let me borrow theirs?
DXMachina: Will it be big enough?
Dana: I smell a road trip!
DXMachina: You'll need a theme song:
We're off on the road to the Great Wall,
To wipe out some folks we don't like.
Since we're goin', while we're goin', we can have a bash,
The odds are eight to five that we will read a lot of slash.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
That first bit is shrift, not me.

What is even happening?
Fay: JKR said in her recent interview that she just cavalierly killed off Harry's grandparents, 'cause they were extraneous to the story. (She wanted her protagonist to be all alone in the world, with only the 'orrible Dursleys looking after him.)
She aspires to be Tim, I think.
DebetEsse: Tim kills people off for effect. This was just expediency.

Cindy: I have run across fewer craxy agnostics
Jessica: I now have a burning desire to stand on the streetcorner screaming "ACCEPT AMBIGUITY INTO YOUR POSSIBLY EXISTENT SOUL!!!!"

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Rick:
I often wonder why Biblical literalists aren't surprised that the book is so confusing and contradictory. I mean, would a supreme being really have such a limited grasp of rhetoric? If the Bible was written by God, then we can all be grateful that God never took a job writing technical manuals or instructions for programing VCRs.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
On the ethics of cloning, in Bitches:
tommyrot: What would happen if you went to a dog-cloning company and said, "Here's my dog's blood - please clone it," only you give them human blood?
Fay: Wow.
The world's first honest-to-god human son of a bitch.

(I read that as "the ethics of cloning Bitches." Maybe I should ingest some caffeine STAT.)
