I have a new guitar!!!
I don't know if this picture link thing will work: [link]
It's a Daisy Rock and it has an electronic tuner, and I have a case and a metronome and a strap and picks.
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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I have spent way too much of today trying to convince Best Buy to give me a credit card, which I wanted them to do because then they will give me 5% off when I buy a fridge (they also seem to have the best prices anyway). First the online process rejected me because they couldn't verify my info so I had to go into a store, where I was rejected because the clerk spelled my name wrong.
I finally won though!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I had the sex talk (or possibly the drug talk?) with my dad when I was like 22 and heading off to spring break in Florida with some friends. (note I had already been off at Uni for two years, then moved back home and was bar tending while going to another school .
"So, um, your mother's talked to you about [awkward pause]?"
"Think we're good, yeah."
"ok, good. Just, um, be careful."

I tried on a couple of them, but the daisy rocks really do fit very well, and assume the player has boobs.

Yay, Allyson!
Dan and I had amych for most of the day! We got to wander around the NAC and watch people being professionally stabby. People! With swords! Everywhere!
It was awesome! When I went out to loading docks for a smoke, I found out I am apparently the doppelganger to Ali's wife, whoever the hell Ali is. But some Texan fencing product vendor greeted me with "Hey, where's Ali?" Dan was a bit nonplussed, but we rolled with it.
Then a large man with a Middle Eastern accent came out and bitched about how long an epee match took to referee, and another ref came out, and told a story about how a fencer stepped on his toes so hard, twice, that a paramedic had to take a scalpel to his big toe under blood geysered out.
Then amych was done with her sabre matches, which were great fun to watch. I asked lots of questions. Y'all, they're basically ROBOTS WITH SWORDS HOOKED UP TO CYBER LEASHES!!
Then we had real BBQ. She got a plate of short ribs the size of her head. KC BBQ passed muster, though, and I think she's in a BBQ/fencing coma at her hotel now.
It was great! I haven't seen a Buffista in the flesh for years now, and there were SWORDS IN THE BARGAIN. FTW!

BBQ and Sabers! Man, that's better than Hookers and Blow.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Peace and strength to Matt and his family.
