Yay painting Allyson!
And oh fuck. Just got an update from my friend. Her stepson ran away this morning. Last call originated from the number of a known dealer. Local police can't do anything without a warrant, but friend has connections who can do a trace at which point the locals can act, based on parent-provided info. Not sure of the legality of all that, but whatever. Not sure what they should do once (!) they get him home. He's angry at the world, and has 3 convenient targets. And he's working them. I'd be angry at him, but..I'm not. Angry he's doing this, sure. But. He's a hurting kid, a kid who has been hurt, making a fuckload of bad decisions but I'm not prepared to see him as iredeemable. Damnit.
Is anyone else watching this TV movie with Marlee Matlin? They just cut in for a weather report, and I missed what seemed like a pretty critical scene.
I hate Hallmark. They totally make me cry.
Am so buying for one of my walls!!!

I just saw the section on the site where you can submit your own design, and if they like it, they'll use it, give you one of your own, and then give you 50% of the profits if any more sell. I MUST HAVE SWIRLY BATS ON MY WALLS.
Also, these weird symbols. Swirly bats, I guess. On a wall... and on flesh. A tattoo, and —

Ooh, Allyson, that's hella cool, I love the design.
Of course, having just gone on a Wallace and Gromit binge for the kids' sakes (yeah sure, that's what they all say), my reaction to Jilli's suggestion was to wiggle my fists together and say "swiiirly bats!"

Do that with open hands instead of fists, and you have the flaily hand motion I usually use when talking about swirly bats.
