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.

Good luck and good drugs, ita.

I like black on my bottom, thankyewverymuch.

One of my co-workers just told me that when he was a kid, he thought that the "Disney on Ice" show was Walt Disney's cryogenic frozen self being paraded around the country and he was seriously disappointed to find out it wasn't. Wouldn't have it been awesome if it was? Many unemployed ice-skaters, though.

I would pay good money to see that.

Oh my god, that makes me laugh and laugh.

I just watched, for the first time, part of Arrested Development, and I am wondering, is it wrong or strange that I find the guy playing GOB to be kinda hot? Because I did.

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

Auto-clown? I like.

This convo is interesting, because I completely gave up this morning and am wearing brown & blue striped pants with a black sweater. Fuck it, I can't deal.

I am intrigued by the idea of losing all my black basics. I would probably dress less uniformly.

No, he's hot, not least because of the voice. He is married to Amy Poehler. Oph! And I saw him in person, and: hot.

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

Okay, strangest thing you've researched for a story, fanfic or otherwise. Go!

I learned what a punkah was and figured out a way to approximate one for the stage. I don't know if it was the strangest thing, but it's what I can remember at the moment.

they say black is really only for funerals

There is always a funeral happening somewhere.

Oh good! I am glad I am not crazy-- because GOB is kinda sleazy, you know....

Is that a corollary to the happy hour rule?

This wasn't me, but once years ago someone in my editor's group was seeking out info on blood spatter patterns for a novel - which it turned out a year or so later was actually Mulder/Krycek fic.

I laughed my ass off when I came to the particular passage (and promptly emailed the editor, who had in fact been doing a beta on the story).

The strangest thing I remember researching/figuring out how to make for theatre was an inflatable cactus penis. I mean, it was a flesh colored cactus shaped giant penis. It is a little hard to explain.
