Thanks, bonny! It's still in-progress, but I am becoming increasingly pleased with it...thanks to Ginger and Amy's gracious help.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I cannot make Zazzle work. Do we have any buffistas out there selling bumper stickers? I would buy
"BECAUSE they LOVE each other and they DESERVE to be HAPPY"
if you would make it.
love, -Laga

move out and draw fire
I need to do some zazzle stuff, so I'll try to add that bumper sticker to my shop today.
"OOh, I've bought a bunch of your paintings and I love them! I want more! Will you give me one free?"
Speaking as the child of two fine artists, this shit actually happens.

Raq, I can believe it. It's on a par with people who meet a doctor or lawyer and ask for free medical or legal advice.

Compassionately intolerant
I actually don't mind when people ask me things on the fly. If I'm in the mood, I will too often 'give it away.' But, I can also draw good boundaries when I want to and can calmly offer my card.
The thing that grinds my gizzard is when people are actively disrespectful or entitled. After all, since what I do just comes from my mind then I SHOULD just give them whatever they need.
Sometimes I wish I was a shopkeeper.
Not really. But, a less complex career choice on my part might have been good.

I blame the restaurateurs who have conditioned us to expect free things from our friends (but not a whole meal for cying out loud!)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I am grateful when I get comped, but I do not expect it and I never ask for it. I might ask to barter, yes.

When I worked as a server at a popular restaurant in a Chicago suburb I could go places I would never have afforded otherwise because managers and chefs would recognize me and give me free stuff. I have gotten free meals but yeah, never expected it. Sometimes I miss those days of being 'in the biz'.

It's kind of like when I read something from an author who said people would say they had a GREAT idea for a book ... you write it and we can split the profits.

Hand to G-d, an acquaintance of mine (who SHOULD know better) said that to me recently.
