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.

Connie, Win 7 is awesome. I think you'll like the switch.

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

FASTEDDIEGUS

Which I read as fasted die Gus.

I think my biggest age gaps have been 12 years, in either direction. I could be a textbook cougar again. I got nothing against it. The word doesn't bother me--I understand that the strict application of the term is supposed to apply to hunters. But I'm more of a gatherer.

Ha! So your conquests are "firewood".

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

So what's the formula for determining at some point if you + person = cougar hunting?

13 years difference, I opine (entirely ex cloaca).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I just tried to explain the whole Gus thing to my DH. It's hard to get all the backstory included in any kind of coherent fashion. At least, I failed at it.

My therapist referred to Older Woman Syndrome during a recent session. My husband is three years younger than me. I like Cougar better than Older Woman Syndrome if there's a choice.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Some jackass ran a red light and t-boned my dad this afternoon. Dad's ok but his car is borked and he is shaken up pretty badly. They took him to the hospital for x-rays and some other tests. I think he'll be alright. Hope the other driver has decent insurance. Dad just managed to get his car fixed from where my niece wrecked it two months ago.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Which I read as fasted die Gus.

As did I.

As a feminist, I have mixed feelings about the term cougar. As potentially applied to myself, I think it's hilarious, because I am definitely more of a gatherer than a hunter. In my head, anyway.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

Cool, JZ.(do you think you could introduce us, or am I just getting dork all over everything right now? Not that I'm expecting to Take A Meeting, but I'd feel weird saying "Hi, Professor, I believe you know one of my friends in the box." Even if I didn't say "That's what she said." (Flips bird to Fast Eddie Lazar-Gus) I mourned you, you crazy motherfucker. I mean, not at any tormenting length...we were just invisible friends, but still. You are a special kind of asshole,sir. Depart the internet forthwith. You cannot be trusted with your connection. Relinquish it to someone worthwhile. (turning to all the cameras)

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

I've heard half your age + 7. I'm not entirely sold on the usefulness of this formula, though.
