Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Punishingly Intricate

I am lisah, which also means that I am very pretty.

You are sweet! I think I may have to make an exception to the no oysters in non-r having months and have some when I'm out in SF in late May/early June. Care to join me?

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

I am not wearing jeans. I love oysters.

I am not wearing tights either. Everybody can breathe a sigh of relief.

I am wearing khakis.

I am wearing pjs (with bunnies on them!), pink ankle socks (with bunnies on them!), and like oysters. Later I will be wearing tights, and will still like oysters.

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

when I'm out in SF in late May/early June.

Did I know this?

Are you going to have any non-oyster eating free time?

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

Wearing jeans, hating oysters, looking balefully at the email inbox.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

All of you who hate oysters have clearly never had a good fried oyster po-boy. I have to believe this, because otherwise the world makes no sense.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

You are sweet! I think I may have to make an exception to the no oysters in non-r having months and have some when I'm out in SF in late May/early June. Care to join me?

Woo-hoo!! There's an AWESOME oyster place just down the street from me.

All of you who hate oysters have clearly never had a good fried oyster po-boy.

I've never had one. Though I tend not to like fried oysters. Gimme 'em raw.

No, only time for oyster eaters!!!

Not really!! I think I'll have free time. I haven't made too many plans yet except I'm probably going for an overnight in Carmel one night and hopefully going out to Sacramento for a day or so. I'm there from late night 5/29 to morning of 6/7.

not your mom's socks.

Oyster shooters.

I'm wearing khakis

oh good. I mean - wearing some sort of pants = good all around

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I'm not fond of oysters, although I haven't had a fried oyster po' boy, and I think that, because they're fried, I'd like it.

Hell, I'd eat a ROCK if it were battered and deep-fried.
