That's my girl, large and in-charge. Okay, teensy-weensy and in charge.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I really should save up and fly out there to see Breaking Dawn with Jilli. It would make the experience for me complete.

Owen's building a Lego TARDIS and a minifigure Doctor Who. I knew letting them run feral this summer would pay off. I need to go find my camera.

That 51 year old looks about 25, and that supposed 16 year old looks older than me, so. Weird.

All my best family stories happened at least 80 years ago, which is I guess the way it should be. Did I tell you the one about my great uncle burning down the house when he was 5? They never spoke of it again. Literally. Never mentioned.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Yeah, I'm a little bit ashamed to say that I have the entire Flowers and Heaven series. And Dawn. And part of Ruby. Man, I loved me some VC Andrews when I was a kid.

BTW, the cartoonist who did the Twilight comic, also has a great series of Harry Potter posters.

I think Flowers was very disturbing. For some reason the incest wasn't what got me. The mother's treatment of the kids is what got me. that kind of brutality and inhumanity is something I couldn't ever get out of my mind.

That, and the (memfault) guy they end up living with after escaping the mother. Way squickier than the incest.

Paul. The doctor. Who Cathy seduces but never marries.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

I think one of the more disturbing aspects of the sees a girl at a young age, decides she's the one and only, and waits for her to grow up scenario is the feeling that he's influencing her to fulfill his fantasies.

This discussion has finally given me a good excuse to buy the Flowers in the Attic series at a thrift store. Thank you.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I did not like the creepy guy they went to live with at all.

I just had this thought that Flowers in the Attic is like a creepy incest murder version of The Boxcar Children
