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.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I aspire to misanthropic shut-in. It's just harder, now that we live in a town.

I knew I had a Buffista birthday twin!

Happy Birthday, Raq!!!

I decided to stop by Arby's after the fitness center (35 minutes on the treadmill again, but this time, I kept my hands off the support bars for most of the time), and got a Ranch/Cheddar/Bacon/Turkey sandwich wrap. Not the best thing in the world, but it's bacon, so a yummy splurge. I did skip the potato cakes I normally buy with it, so that was a plus.

One of the very few positive things about being overweight is that it does tend to keep the wrinkles away.

The one "problem" I'm looking forward to! I do have to remember to start moisturizing my face (my skincare regime is "wash face with same soap you wash the body with") now that I'm over 40. Oh, and I ran into a coworker this afternoon who commented on my weight loss and also said that my skin is looking fabulous, which surprised me! I think she's noticing the fact that my face is less puffy with the weight loss.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Even if you were famous, what possible reason would you have for standing on a subway platform, facing opposite the subway while reading the paper, but not leaving or entering the only train that goes through that stop? Because that's what Michael Imperioli was doing just now, and I really can't figure it out. Is he hiding from something?

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

Happy birthday, Raq!

I am misanthropic, but no shut-in. I'm despairing at the apparent news that I'm one of the more cheerfully tormenting of instructors. Or maybe that's ass-kissing too.

My toenail polish is still wet, but I have to go get my sister from the airport soon. I hate stupid dilemmas like that. On the upside, house is pretty clean. Messy, but clean. And almost all the laundry washed.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

"I'm a famous person. Someone will carry me onto the train. There's a first class car, yes? Because I would like a Scotch and Dasani with cubed, not crushed, cubed ice.

*sigh* No one is carrying me to my first class subway car. It's so hard getting good help for famous people in the city."

Now tagless for your comfort.

Since y'all run.

Heh. And by y'all, we'll just say "my DH." On account of I don't run unless I'm being chased by a very large, hungry predator. I am joining a gym but I walk, ride stationary bikes and do the elliptical trainers, etc. Never run.

Happy Birthday, Raq!

I never get carded anymore. Ever. And I get called "M'am" an awful lot.

What is even happening?

Dh's birthday is tomorrow. The old bat.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Things I learned today: my office computer HAS FREECELL. (We just had our systems upgraded...Win2000 had all the games disabled, but not XP! Woot!)
