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.

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

Okay, this is kinda petty. I mean, seriously, keep it in your head if you have to keep track.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

Ahahaha. So, part of the motivation for the tattoo was because "Get out of your own way" is something I need to be constantly reminded of; I have a bad habit of ... fretting about stuff, instead of just getting on with doing what I do.

Today, after getting the tattoo: email about a very interesting job lead, and email about a work-for-hire book project that looks like is going to take off. As I have said previously, my life runs on temper tantrums and serendipity.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Just buy new ones?

Yes.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Jilli, I love the new tattoo. I need that reminder myself. I have gotten in my own way more times than I can count.

Just, that, ah, I don't put those things in my mouth as far as she's concerned.

Heh. Misread this and thought you were referring to general knowledge of gender identity issues, and then wondered why you wouldn't want your mom to know you knew.

I am having reading issues today.

Don't worry, Burrell, I didn't get it until just now reading your post.

Easy and safe delivery vibes for FAQchild.

Compassionately intolerant

40th birthday a better milestone to get tatted, anyway, right?

I chose 40 as my inaugural tattooification.

Tomorrow, I'm meeting with the fellow who inked me 11 years ago to discuss a new tat and possible embellishment of the older one.

11 years. How can this be?

Well this is my second misread of the day. I think I'm tired.

Also? Hungry. Hope those enchiladas are done soon.

Because books.

Are we discussing Ringer anywhere? I missed one episode and I'm confused already.

Maybe read Cindy's recaps at TWOP?
