Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

FINE. I have vacuumed and put the first load of laundry in.

hwæt

I need to get dressed, do the dishes, and take out the trash. Which I will get to, any minute now. Any minute.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

ita ! is a bona fide genius. Wow.

repentant yards of clothing.

That is a wonderfully evocative phrase. Man, it was such a revelation to me to cast off (mostly) that inner critic and just say FUCKIT, I'm wearing what I want.

OMG, I just bought this dress from Voluptuous Vixen and I looooove it

Gorgeous! I need more casual summer dresses, mine are mostly too dressy.

I have a style in my brain that my body can't support.

I have a style in my head that my laziness can't support. Okay, more like twenty styles I'd like to rock, but the point is I mostly stay generic and easy.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Which I will get to, any minute now. Any minute.

This is also when I will do my yardwork and then set to dealing with the mound o' paperwork and craft supplies I hauled out of my study.

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

I am too lazy to have any real style, but if I ever did put in the time, I'd want to dress like a cross between Djuna Barnes and Nora Charles, with a bit of Morticia Addams thrown in for good measure.

Dagnabbit, the dryer is still broken. I should have gone to the stupid laundromat! But see above re: lazy. It wouldn't be so bad if I hadn't thrown in a cat-hair-covered throw, thinking that the hair would be pulled out in the dryer. Yikes.

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

That business plan was brought to you by zolpidem tartrate and chocolate.

I don't think I could ever have a style, but having a little bit of a few is just fine. I basically want to wear all the clothes and jewellery that I find on the web that make me coo, and I feel I've made a decent stab of it, with the obvious gap of special occasions, of which I have very few.

My sister has three weddings to attend this year, and I'm very jealous. I love weddings. Well, no, I don't. I love dressing for weddings. But all I have on my calendar is one engaged cousin, from a family of flibbertigibbets, so I don't know if anything will come of it, or when.

I think of you as quite stylish, ita.

::curtsies bashfully::

I feel my wardrobe has multiple personality disorder, which is why I think I couldn't have a style. I don't know if I can get extra points for having seven and a half. Part of me does wish I could be as consistent as Jilli, but I do realise that's totally not my mindset, since I don't possess that degree of single-mindedness, and am much more magpie-like in my shopping philosophy.

But, since I don't have any particular feeling of "ita ! wouldn't wear *that*" of most things I like, it's only a theoretical sad.

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

I want you to dress like that! You need that steampunk corset.

I must say, JZ does a good job incorporating the Bathory Boots (available from Clockwork Couture) into her wardrobe.
