I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

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

Jilli, I was trying to explain you again yesterday. I have a standin cousin who is attracted by the idea of perkygoth (she can't unperk, ever, it seems) but has no real idea what it is. She seemed a little concerned about Clovis, but I think she's past it now.

Today's pre-lunch entertainment?

Something arrived via IO from Jilli, and my coworkers were looking at her (pink and black) writing, and going, "Aww! She really is the perkygoth!"

Everybody should be concerned about Clovis.

My quick Jilli precis: Mary Poppins' cheerfully mordant sister.

Or, maybe: Imagine an Edwardian widow with a twisted sense of humor who really enjoyed the mourning period.

Or possibly: A Gorey cartoon come to life.

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

I used Jilli's notepaper as an example, Plei. It really helped.

My perkygoth explanation was something like: Bats and glitter! Trim your black with pink.

My Jilli explanation: She is a luminary of it all, and her stuffed rabbit wants to take over the world.

But, I know people in the larger Goth community that are still unclear on the concept of perkygoth.

She seemed a little concerned about Clovis, but I think she's past it now.

Concerned how? He's perfectly straightforward about his plans for world domination through being the cutest evil overlord ever.

Something arrived via IO from Jilli,

They finally showed up then? Yay! I was starting to worry. join my cult! join my cult!

That's how my mother explains me to people.

What is even happening?

Jilli, does Clovis sense the threat that is Princess Tickybox?

Well, back from the doc. We're trying a new antibiotic. I'm hopeful I can tolerate it. We're giving the head meds 'til Friday. Couldn't squeeze any more ativan out of Dr. They'll-never-call-me Feelgood. Tired now.

Clovis considers Princess Tickybox his #1 weapon in the world domination plan, and with good reason.

(Ooh! And Princess Tickybox honest-to-goodness said "Clovis!" at me the other day, after I drew her a picture of him. I am SO PROUD.)

Cindy, I hope you feel better soon. I've been worrying about you.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I hope this AB is kinder to you. I love the phrase "head meds" and that doc is a stingy bastard.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

My quick Jilli precis: Mary Poppins' cheerfully mordant sister.

If Jilli did not exist, it would be necessary to invent her.

Thanks for the kind words on my niece! I like to share her, by which I mean show her off.
