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

Strangely enough, I have never lost my feminine, modern, Mayan or otherwise.

Anyway, I'm pretty sure I'd have to go back a quite a ways in my genetic history to find a link to the Mayans. And I attended one too many pagan-Goddess-mentrual-cycle-Earth-goddess-reclaim-your-cunt circle in college (2, precisely) to know that my sense of the absurd is too pragmatic to not piss the sincere off.

It truly works for some people, but the typical Run-With-The-Wolves trappings do not work for me. YMMV. (And not knocking most pagans, y'all; I gained some good perspectives from it, but I'm not cut out for organized religion of any stripe.)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

The Mayans were not into vajazzling, but they were pioneers in the ancient art of psychedelic suppositories. I'm not making this up....

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Congrats brenda!

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

Oh, man, I just embarrassed myself thoroughly. Something one of the developers said made me launch into telling the story of Goldilocks, WITH VOICES, and then...I completely forgot how it ended. And the two American-raised people in the area couldn't help me either. So I feel less bad, but the guy I was talking to stormed off and wouldn't finish the discussion.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Huh. I don't know either -- now that I think of it, all I can remember is a lot of "too THIS" and "too THAT" and "JUST RIGHT" and then the bears come home and chaos and happily ever after. It's like the underwear gnomes snuck in between chaos and happily.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

"Someone's been sleeping in my bed! And there she is!"

And then the bears eat Goldilocks?

She runs into the woods and is never seen again. It's not a memorable ending.

Wow. Well, it's a story with one hell of a middle half, anyway.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Yeah, you'd think the middle would be too long or too short, but it's just right.

Or maybe she is never seen again by the bears because she just goes home. It's unclear.
