I hadn't heard that before! The neck of the woods I grew up in, it was sign of the cross (large catholic population.) Probably less common a habit in Israel...
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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I will choose a different superstition and knock on wood for Nilly.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Just measured mac again, half an inch since end of May. His middle name is not legally added yet, maybe I should make it weed.

Proving that I am who I say I am and worked where I worked is going to give me an ulcer.
I haven't even packed yet and I have to get up at 6am to catch a train. AUGH.

“Not dead yet!”
(Right before clicking "post" I realized - is there anywhere else where they say "tfu tfu", against the "evil eye"?)
My Cuban-born Grandmother and other assorted female relatives used to do that.

They're such total babies.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

What, they can't just google you?
