I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yikes, Kathy.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Wow, Kathy. I'm glad you weren't laid off, but yeah. Wow.

an overblown libretto and a sumptuous score/ could never contain the contradictions I adore

I just swatted another mosquito and got blood on the couch. This is getting ridiculous.

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

Amy, I have seven ear piercings, so whatever, showoff.

Just that normally I only fill two of them, the cartilage ones. Which reminds me, I do want another one of those. Then I can be perma odd.

Because books.

Amy, I have seven ear piercings, so whatever, showoff.

Today is Wear an Odd Number of Earrings Day.

Ooh, I always play that. I've got single holes in my lobes, and then three cartilage piercings in one ear and two in the other. So I'm always wearing five or seven earrings!

Kathy, wow!

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

Amy, I have seven ear piercings, so whatever, showoff.

This just indicates poor impulse control.

Either that or you had a vicious street fight with the evil villainess, The Bedazzler.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, Kathy, that's awful. I'm glad you escaped, but what an altogether shitty way for everyone to start the day before the weekend.

I've been reading Ta-Nehisi Coates this morning and thanking all the divinities that ever or never were that I didn't watch the GOP debate last night, because my head would surely have exploded.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

JZ, I picked it up from my twitter feed. The whole thing sounds really sick.
