From the same blog as the awesome pie chart:
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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
According to ND, who has many conservative Christians on his Facebook friendslist (remember that ND grew up in a very conservative, right-wing town and went to a Christian high school), Biden has become a hotbed for conservative anger because of some comment he made about how paying taxes is patriotic. I happen to agree with him, but my point is that anger from Biden is not likely to be that effective for half the population regardless. Maybe it would make a difference to the undecideds, but how many of them are there anymore? Our country is frighteningly divided. It scares me.

Hi, tommyrot!
Stoopid Zyrtec isn't working, AND it's making me drowsy!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Whoo, tommyrot is back!
sarameg should name Kitten Zyrtec!
My first ever web page was a tribute to the letter Z. I don't really know why, it seemed like the sort of thing the internet needed at a time. I was filling a niche.
Anyway, if it were still online I'd have all kinds of name suggestions. Zephyr was definitely on there.
Oh! Oh! And, Allyson! My youngest student came into lessons with her mom yesterday and...a stuffed bat! Turns out she's really really into bats right now and is combing the library for books about bats and knows all kinds of bat facts. So can she be on your beta list, please, please, she loves bats sooo much!
I won't see her again for a couple of weeks and I had to explain the concept of beta readers but she loves reading and loves bats and is pretty much exactly in your targer audience.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil
In that video, the kitty looks like he might be on Zyrtec, but I doubt very much he'll be putting sarameg to sleep!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
She is of course welcome to beta!
I'm starving for encouragement like no other time. I'm just hitting a wall, here. I think a huge part of it is the mountains of research involved in Sam's London adventure. I don't want to fail describing Belgrave Square and Cadogan Square, but having never been there, I can only guess at sounds and the way the light looks on buildings.
I need enormous amounts of chocolate.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Happy birthday, Sophia! Happy birthday, smonster!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Awesome tattoo
Ha! It REALLY is.
