Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Suela,

Thank you for that. I hadn't heard of the man before the "scandal" broke and the half-dozen or so articles I read about him didn't mention the American-born aspect. (I could have checked Wikipedia, I suppose, but I tend to be a bit distrustful of it whenever there's big news about something that could inspire folks to start frantically adding their own personal spin to the related articles.)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I read an entire Scott Westerfeld book today, so I can't say I haven't accomplished something today. Still, there's enough time to actually Do Something, I hope.

“Not dead yet!”

In between writing on the NaNo project, I've been procrastinating playing on Photoshop.

Original

Played with version

I'm not done with it-- it's just a first try and I'm not nuts about the font proportions. But I was especially happy with how removing the ad text came out.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I often love John Scalzi: People/Things I Would Vote For President Before I Would Vote For John McCain.

What I particularly love about this entry is how he mentions his Nader rage from 2000; I thought that *I* was the only one who still can't let go of her Nader rage. I seriously ranted about it just the other night, for about 20 minutes, to The Boy. I think he listened so patiently only because he was doped on percocet.

But seriously, y'all. God DAMN.

Anyway, I ALSO love this entry because of #10. Teratoma!

Always Anti-fascist!

Nope. And I used to admire him, too, so that's kind of sad.

Kat, I love this one with the two Things chattering. Also, we have the same Snack Trap.

We have 5 (YES. FIVE) Snack Traps. Or we've purchased 5. I can actually only find 2 of them. The white one is no longer one of them.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Happy Birthday Ginger!
