Welcome back from the wilds of drama camp.
Thanks! We had some actual wilds this year. A bear was on campus (on the stage of the brand-new pavilion) the day I arrived. And something was living in one of the walls of my cabin.

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Was the bear there to rehearse Winter's Tale?

You'd think, right? But that play was not on the calendar for this summer.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, random baby in the parking structure: How are your eyes so big and cute? And fie on you for making me want babies so I can keep their hair cut really short. Dubious practicality, that.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
re: spoilers--if a book is going in a direction that I'm leery of, I'll check the end to see if it resolves in a way that doesn't make me want to throw it against a wall. I'm willing to read through badness if there's a payoff I can appreciate in the end.
This is pretty much me. If a story has a bleak ending that's going to leave me sad or angry, I don't want to read it. The Kite Runner is watermark now - I ask my friends if a book will be like that, and if they say yes, forget it. I hated that book.
I don't want to be spoiled for major plot points, but I don't even count casting news as spoilers.

What would the Fug Girls say? I have to give props for the finger he's flipping to fashion in general. That's kind of a win.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We've often described the look on the faces of dressed-up cats as "I have to kill you now."
