Don't be sorry! It's a lovely piece, and should go down in the History, along with the piece JZ wrote and MM added to about the Wandering Gypsy Buffistas--which I believe was on WX while we were building? discussing building? this board. I'm not sure it was ever posted here, and it was a lovely piece, as well, and yours is similar in stirring inspirational vein. Wish I could find it. I'd tack them both up on the bulletin board by the main entrance.
Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Fay, that was fabulous, and I am honored to be mentioned in it.

Hi, Helena! Hi, Sophie Max!
And what Jilli said - hi to all the recently de-lurked whom I haven't greeted directly. Love seeing your stories... and stances on cilantro, etc.
ETA: And P-C beat me to COMM, but that is fabulous, Fay!

Hello Helena and Sophie Max! I am so pleased there are more lurkers introducing themselves.
And Fay that was brilliant! If I hadn't already put in an appearance I would have done so after that just to acknowledge the wonder that it is!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Fay, I knew you'd come through, but geez, that was impressive.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.
Wow, Fay! I'm boggled! (and I really needed the pick-me-up after grading these exams. Can I just fail 90% of my students now and save everyone the trouble of the rest of the term?)
Hi fellow lurkers!

Because books.
Gauchos make the baby Jesus cry.
Shhhh! The Empress will smite you.
But I totally agree.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Smite and a pox upon those who dare besmirch the gauchos!
Which is Spanish for "fabulous pants".

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Whoops, didn't realize that can of worms was unopened.
I am pro worm, btw.

We few, we happy few, we band of buggers
For he to-day that shares his name with me
Shall be a bugger;
oh my word that is so brilliant.
What delights and terrifies me, though, is that I cannot for the life of me recall what the original was for "buggers", and I'll never remember it right again. Which is, you know, fine, since the occasion doesn't arise very often to quote it. But I'm pretty sure if the occasion does arise...this is how I'll quote it.
off to google
ETA: brothers, for crying out loud. I knew that.
