Man, I got some pretty severe beatings right up through my teenage years. Black eyes and fat lips and all.
But I don't think of myself as a kid who was physically abused at all. Happened to other kids in my neighborhood and seemed normal.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

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.

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

I'm hoping all the news is boring, msbelle.
Immobilizing Devi is damned near impossible. She's super flexible. MK has strong jaws, but luckily he is a food whore.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
My mother punished me once by forbidding me to watch Star Trek.

Good lord. My dad just told me that he stumbled over Lucy in the dark the other night, stepped on her, lurched to the side, found she'd also lurched to that side, lather rinse repeat, and ended up falling and nearly staking himself on a wooden tv-table. An ex tv-table.
They're both okay, though he's a little banged up. Yeesh. Dogs iz also dangerous.

How's Lucy doing?
So I've been googling Bhutan and found a particularly eyebrow-raising chronicle of a religious ... ceremony: [link] UM.

“Not dead yet!”
People's running a Sexiest Vampire poll (highly incomplete, but still...)
Not surprisingly, Rob Pattinson's in the lead, but David B. is in second ahead of Brad and Tom and Wesley.

Go read about naked buddhist dancing the devil away.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You're totally going to that, right?
