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, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

I have to admit, I'm not tired of the discussing of this. I think it's hysterical.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Okay, bare all. How old is the recipient of this email? I'm trying to give you an out here.

It was a text! Not an email!

...also, 25.

Yeah, I'm OK with that now. I'm still too young to be a cougar, right?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I agree. I'm just too damned nosy. And I'm finding it kind of fascinating. In a @@ forever kind of way.

ION, I did yoga. No fist, though. I also did a bellydancing program that I am hilariously uncoordinated at.

Fit TV has some great on-demand programs! Who knew?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm still too young to be a cougar, right?

NO. At least, I don't think so.

Or maybe I just want company in my putative pursuits. Like yesterday's nurse. Who was just putative. And 12.

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

Eddie is searching for the "ur-trope" -- the one trope that can explain all others. And what's his latest theory? "People tell stories," he says.

Okay, there you have it.

(I posted in this in Literary, but I'm xposting with Natter and Bitches to get the most feedback, because I am so interested in this. If it works, imagine the Buffistas lending community!)

Hey, anyone buy ebooks through Barnes and Noble?

They have a Lend an Ebook beta and I would love to know if anyone has tried it. SO far, you can do it on your PC and a Nook, but they say it's coming for iPhone/Touch soon.

I think I have one of the books in the Beta, but I would LOVE to try it out with someone.

I figure you have to be 40 to be a cougar, which I am not.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Okay, you all suck, because I have been reading Bureau 1. I think the most boggling thing to me is that we initially worried that Deena might be a sockpuppet of mieskie.
