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'm going black until Oct. 6, leaving Maine tomorrow am and heading for Pittsburgh. Perkins and DX are the most fun ever! And ND, of course.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I found out yesterday that I've been accepted to a month-long course to study abroad in Rome for the month of January. Needless to say, I'm wicked excited.

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

Hey there. I'm running in my First! Ever! marathon this Sunday, October 5, starting at 8 a.m. and ending (hopefully) by 1 p.m. CDT.

So, may I request strong running vibes for that time period on Sunday? I'll be dark until after the marathon, but Buffista vibes are powerful stuff.

Thanks!

I'll be going semi-dark starting tomorrow--I'm driving east to visit my mom and big brother in southern NJ, with an overnight visit at my uncle's in Ohio. I will be able to get on my mom's computer occasionally, though. (Oh, Brenda M and ChiKat--insent re: LotR marathon!)

Our wings are not tired

I'm back from my North East excursion! I had a wonderful time and am so glad that I got to hang out with so many Buffistas, I love all of you!

I'm still going to be somewhat gray though as I've got over 900 emails to go through in my main account and another 250+ in my school account along with a few designs that are kicking in now. I'm available by my profile addy and would love to hear from folks, I'm also usually on AIM, ICQ, and Yahoo Messanger and all of those are in my profile, I don't think I'll be caught up here for at least a week though.

move out and draw fire

I'm back from being hurricaned, getting belt-tested at my new juijitsu school, and having the AVM on my arm detonate to the point I couldn't type. And then having some sort of death-flu.

Of the good, I got ranked as a senior student and can type again. But like ND, I'll be lurking/catching up for about a week.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Hey, all. I'l be pretty grey this week -- I got mondo sick last week, and will be slaving away at the studies to make up for missed time.

Finish time - 4:38:42.

Still catching up, but I'll be active tomorrow.

Thanks to everyone for their support!

Thrive to spite them

I need some heavy duty health-ma for my grandmother. She has dementia but her physical health has been okay, but last week she started having dizzy spells. Wednesday she was admitted to the hospital and the neurolagist said that she's been having mini strokes for at least 3 weeks. Her GP didn't catch them. The arteries in her neck are blocked as well and she needs to have surgery to unblock them, but they haven't set a date for the surgery.

She gets released from the hospital today to go to rehab to learn to use a walker because her dizzy spells aren't better but after that we aren't sure where she's going to go--either my aunt is going to take G'ma to her house and take care of her or G'ma is going to a nursing home.
