I'm watching a Playboy video that's so lame I'm not even sure it's porn.
Everybody plays each other. That's all anybody ever does. We play parts.

Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

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

your dad gets his Canadian citizenship that means you can get it too and we can move to Vancouver!
Vancouver is acceptable. It's driving distance from Seattle. And in the right time zone.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
This is one of those times when you should listen to the voices in your head.
From what I can tell, many if not most writers have characters who act as voices in their head--this is just the first one I've had who feels qualified to comment on EVERYTHING, not just his own story. And it's all my own fault, because I was having trouble with his voice at first, so I started sort of asking him what he thought of everything from the presidential election to my problems at work. Now he won't shut up, and someone sees me crack a grin in the midst of a contentious staff meeting, and suddenly I'm scrambling for an explanation that isn't, "The dead guy who lives in my head thinks pistols at twenty paces is the only thing that'll solve this."

Is the dead guy in your head a real historical person?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
"The imaginary dead guy was right"

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Miracleborns, Worcester is less expensive than Boston, there are lots of colleges here, and I'd be happy to babysit for free.
I'm sorry to just cut out of here last night. I felt myself getting really worked up and I didn't like the way I was acting, so I felt it best to walk away from the computer for a bit.

Is the dead guy in your head a real historical person?
Yeah, actually, though writing him in an alternative reality kinda blurs the line a bit. I still try to be fair to the real person and the life he lived before my world took a different fork in the road, but I don't worry too much over whether he would've really done X, Y, or Z, because I've put him in a strange situation, and who knows what he would've done?

Always Anti-fascist!
Add in Poster Child to Gifted Child...good times. Like a thing that is not. My current writing hero wrote his first book in his thirties. In between getting stoned and selling appliances(often at the same time.) Now he is very best-selling and Emmy nominated and a producer, but I'm sure Papou and Yiayia shook their heads over him many nights. I LOVE that story.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I'm sorry if I added to your feeling uncomfortable lat night, SJ. Not my intention at ALL.
