I kissed him, and I told him that I loved him. And I killed him.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I've been trying to drag people I know into Faction Paradox stuff (with some limited success recently), mostly because I'm dying to talk about it. So, y'know... no pressure. (Have you heard the audios?)

I haven't, so far I've only encountered them through the Eighth Doctor books. I thought they were one of the best inventions from that period though. On which note, how do you take events as compelling as in The Ancestor Cell and turn it into such a plodding, pedestrian read?

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

Calling Hec and Javachik- have you seen this? As much as I love baseball, oy. This is has gotten out of hand.

It's unfortunate because you can see the TV guys' little gears turning over in their brains: "You know, that team that just won the World Series is full of... characters...."

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

People interested in my suit! Witness its debut outing!

Ever girl's crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man. Dapper!

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

Black suit was a good idea.

Prime Time Shuttle just called me to tell me they'd be here in 1:15 to pick me up. Under normal, non-insomniac (or mildly insomniac) conditions, I'd have been pissed! My alarm doesn't go off for 20 minutes.

I've just been up for half an hour, but they don't know that.

Do they?

Bon voyage, ita.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Safe travels, ita!

P-C, you rock the black suit. You should definitely come up with occasions to wear it.

Thanks, guys. I'm at the airport valiantly trying not to barf. I think I've mindfucked myself into nausea. Stupid mind.

My father didn't know the word barf until I used it this Christmas. Weird.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck not barfing, ita! Also, have a better trip than that.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

I've noticed its use here, but I think I picked it up from Nora (both here and IRL).

Hee! For those of you following along at home, I have lessened my usage of "shenanigans" and increased my usage of "...and the whatnot." Why? I do not know.
