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.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

Two totally unrelated people showed up today as "Fans of Focus on the Family."

I had a high school friend become a fan of "Impeach Obama" and blah, blah, blah, something Pelosi. It makes it hard to log in.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I had a college friend like that. That's what "Hide" buttons are for. He can rant all he likes and I don't have to see it.

Dear god, yes.

Kat, I can't believe that preschool. That's crazy making.

Oh, get this--after calling me and being all "Well, apparently we just have different stories " The neighbor texted me to say that he had already YESTERDAY contacted the COPS to file a hit and run (or, hit and park) (since I hadn't DRIVEN THE CAR SINCE SUNDAY I HADN"T SEEN HIS NOTE, SO VOILA, MY CAR WAS RIGHT THERE FOR HIM TO ACCUSE). WTF?!?!?!?!?

Having just been on a jury of a hit and run (or rather, a hit and run [twice], park, then walk back), what is the evidence? Is there any damage to your car? Does someone claim to have seen something?

Also, what about the plaid?

Kat, so frustrating!

I was definitely planning on sending it on to Plei once it gets to me, if she wants it.

Yeah, I could stand a repurge by that point, probably. Which is to say, I'm sure I'll have some impulse regrets that Do Not Work on me.

And don't tell the police you had a few beers that morning!

It's a plan then! Maybe I will save stuff I was going to send to Colorado for then.

I am not wearing ANY PLAID! However, since the supposed hit and "run" (park) happened at my house, I cannot stay fled!

As for the "evidence"...my bumper is supposedly the height of the damage to his car. But I say there's no way I'd be pulling in or backing out and manage to hit him at that angle--there's no one parked next to me on the other side, so it's not like it's tight and I need to swing that way.

If the bumper doesn't fit, you must acquit!
