That was disturbing, MTBF.
I traumatize because I care. Plus, with ita having been on vacation, it was time for someone to pick up the slack...
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

Um, and I'm a smartass. It was required to join the 'fistas.
Ha!
Hil R. is a stoner, pass it on! And also, I hope you get some good, pain-free sleep. Don't mean to mock without empathy.
Oh, and in totally unrelatedness, Jilli, if your next article is about Goth and religion, I have a few links that might interest you. One is to a group that does a Goth outreach tent at a Christian festival put on by a bunch of hippies. And one is to a couple of Christian Goth bands.
We were just thinking about them recently, because we were hanging out with our buddy the other night. Crazy photographer guy, lives in a tepee in Wyoming, travels around and shoots photos. Anyway, years ago, we'd invited him to come with us to that festival and he'd said, sure. He turned up, late because he'd been roaming the grounds trying to find us. So I took him straight to the show tents, directly to one of those bands.
Only I didn't tell him it was a Goth band, or anything about them. So his first experience with Christian music is this crazy theatrical band dipping flags in stage blood and setting things on fire and singing, "Apocalypse" in dulcet tones.
Hee.
He still tells that story.
Anyway, I'm super interested in what you turn up for your next article, and I'm happy to talk to you about perceptions about the goth community from the Christian side of things if it would be at all helpful to you. Profile addy good.

'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"
Heh. I remember a panel my friend Jim MacDonald and Gene Wolfe were on, about Catholics in SF/F, where they bonded over the realization that most of their protagonists (and bad guys) liked to dress in black. It was totally a "AIFG!" moment.

Okay everyone - my office is empty with a capital EMPTY today. Please to be posting as much as possible so I don't die of boredom.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
A coworker just posted on Facebook that's she's one of 3 people (out of like 25) in the office where she is.

I am at work! I got a little (probably temporary) New Year's gift from my grad school, which charged me in-state tuition even though I told them I moved out of state. Since the out-of-state rate is 300% more than the in-state, I am happy to pay it. (While realizing they may figure this out, eventually.)

I've got an overwhelming urge to get my hair cut today! I suspect I'd better act on it before my enthusiasm goes away.

I'm watching Kitchens of the future videos on YouTube. I love the Monsanto PSA from 1957! Plastics!
