So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Wow, Cumberbatch gives off a whole different aura when he's ginger, doesn't he? There's a guy I could snuggle with all day, if, you know, the hubby wouldn't mind.

Yep. I find Sherlock as portrayed by Cumberbatch to be beautiful in an utterly alien, non-sexual way.

Cumberbatch as himself, on the other hand, is just sexy as hell in a completely adorkable fashion. (It's not even the ginger thing. He's still got the Sherlock hair in the video of him reading Little Red Hen, and is still at the extra-slender Sherlock weight, and it STILL fills one with the conflicting desires to pinch his cheeks and climb him like a tree.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey editors! The following is part of a sentence I am trying to write:

or, at best, are treated as a curious tangent from the presumed more important story

I want to set off (or rephrase?) "presumed more important" and make it clear that I don't actually think it's more important. Thoughts? Hyphens? Quotes? Something?

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Change "presumed" to "presumably"?

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

This is very unfortunate in my default font.

It's hysterical in mine.

Mmm, Bandicoot. And hello, Doctor, too.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I had the insides of a beef pot roast sandwich from Culver's for breakfast last Saturday,

There is such a thing? I did not need to know that.

In my default font, also hilarious.

(Oh, and Burrell, here's Little Red Hen [link] )

Now tagless for your comfort.

climb him like a tree

Favorite phrase ever.

The funny thing about our embezzler--our interim superintendent's name is ATTILA. That's right. Attila. Who steals from a guy named Attila?

I used presumed to try to emphasize that it's the people making the tangent who think it's less important? I don't know -- I should scrap the whole sentence and start over, probably.

Ah - I rephrased, put "main story" into quotes, and I think I"m good.
