My condolences, Anne. Peace and strength to you and yours.
Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
he suddenly wondered if deaf people have the same appreciation of poetry as hearing people, in regards to meter and rhyme and such. Does anyone have any idea?
My guess is yes. When I was in grad school, the Nt'l Theatre of the Deaf was touring and they came and conducted a master acting class for the MFA acting students. The first 30 minutes of class was performed without any language (sign or spoken) and it was one of the coolest things I've ever done. A lot of the class was getting the ensemble to work together with rhythm and harmony.
Then, that night, they performed Hamlet. It was one of the best productions of that show I've ever seen and they def. got the rhythms of Shakespeare's language down. Probably even moreso than speaking actors because they expressed the language with their whole bodies.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Alibelle!
There's a woman I know in the filk community who does the most expressive signing I've seen. She puts her whole body into it. She actually won the Pegasus(major filk award) for best performer last year.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's clear I suck at remembering friends' ages.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Happy birthday, Alibelle!
