Everyone should have random pieces of wood around the house. Or in their tool chest.

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

And here I'm wondering why you want her to stab her tree.

I was going to call you out as a dangerous felon, but my random pieces of wood are Filipino fighting sticks.
Let me go pick up my sister.

Hmmm..... Maybe I'm fine with my baseline where it is.
Trust me, this may be for the best.

Shim, not shiv.
Though in a pinch, you could use a shim as a shiv. But I don't think it would be a very effective weapon.

"Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover."
Her only decent song. I saw her at Long Beach Pride this year, just the end of her set while I staked out a good seat for Indigo Girls, and she was horrrrrrible. I don't know why people like her.

Growing up in the middle of nowhere with a mom and gram who grew up on farms meant that there were always random bits of metal and tools and whosits around. I still assume I have those things at hand and can frequently be found wandering around my house muttering thing like, "How can we not have a spare fence post? And where are my random-yet-useful bits of wood?" I am not much of a pack-rat myself, but I was raised by champs.

A friend just linked to this in her LJ: Cellulite, a curse from God or a tool of Satan? The responses are cracking me up. So much angst!
