the graphic novel Plain Jane (being given at the DC Comics booth
That's a great book! I read it some time last year, and keep hoping for a second one. It fits in nicely with the Kiki Strike novels, thematically.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I loved the nightie-as-long-hair thing.
Off the top of my head, I think that Dana and Daisy Jane are in Dallas, and they both are awesome.
Dana's actually in Houston, which I know for sure because she took me for an excellent dinner when I had a business trip there!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Wouldn't she hang out with just Isaac?
They do, but it's only been the past few months that I can leave them on their own for 15 minutes to 1/2 hour at a time. Before that some catastrophe would always bring me in to check on them every few minutes. So as they grow older they will no doubt think of themselves as playing on their own, but from my current POV it's a relatively recent development.

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

Dude, that's how I know for sure too.

And the arms were so nifty tie your hair back with. God, we must have ripped out my mother's Black Power heart repeatedly with those shenanigans, but she's exactly the kind of mother that would refuse to make a deal about it, in case we decide we have to go 180° on her.

Heh. One of my earliest memories of my little sister (so, I would've been just turned four, and she a baby) was her being on a blanket in the living room, and for some reason, I reaaaaaaly wanted to jump over her. Dunno why. But I really really really did. And I knew it would not be permitted. So I ASKED if I could. My mom was in the other room, and was like "Uh, hell no?" And I was like "PLEASE????" And mom had to come into the room and be like "What on EARTH???" And I kept pushing it like, "Can I just STEP over her??"
I have no idea what compelled me. (The power of CHRIST perhaps?)

We weren't allowed to because you weren't allowed to do that to people who were still growing.

Is it too late to ask what people are doing this weekend?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Washington Folk Festival is this weekend. Hope the weather's nice.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm probably having dinner with a friend tonight, library and a movie tomorrow, laundry Sunday. Also getting over this fucking cold, ideally. If it wasn't so close and I didn't have to eat anyway, I'd totally bail on dinner. Ugh.
