Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

we all remember what word we spelled incorrectly in the spelling bee

Not me. All I remember is that it was a homophone and I didn't ask for a definition. Doh!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

The Lord of the Rings musical set tried to eat an actor.

Ouch. Is it wrong that I want to know the details about the scenic mechanism?

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

I can write in my head and then read the spelling aloud. But please don't interrupt me.

I crashed and burned (okay, came 2nd) because I spelt it refridgerator. I know it's wrong to this day, but it still looks all comfy and stuff.

Oh, the other thing I remember about that third grade spelling bee is that I'm a real softie. The person manning the dictionary looked really bored (nobody had asked her for a definition at all!), so I asked for a definition of "raincoat" to give her something to do. My friends mocked me afterward, but I felt so sorry for her feeling useless!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It was probably made from a robot lawnmower.

Hey lawnmowers are scary. One tried to eat my toes.

If I had to put up with that kind of indignity, I'd probably bite someone, too.

Speaking of biting (and wresting, and getting caught under something), kitty vs. puppy wrestling match! (The puppy gets the worst of it throughout.)

How nifty. A (no longer-) wee cousin of mine got a script accepted here. I made huffy noises when she moved from LA to NY to pursue a career in film, but I guess it's working out okay for her. Except she still has to have winter.
