Buffistas

Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

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

I just read the chapter of Eagleman's work with that quote and he describes the resulting principle that at the time when you die your third death, you probably don't want to leave right then, because someone who remembered you is just about to show up.

And he also describes miserable people who are remembered for reasons they don't value, and who are desperate to move on.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, in reading about Miley Cyrus and the littler Hemsworth getting engaged, I learned that the bigger Hems is married to a 35 year old! Which...gives me hope?

But really, today I just want to marry Jay Smooth. Can we make that happen at all?

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Wow, that is awesome. I wan't paying much attention to the beginning, and while he was singing, I was like- he is a little flat. Then I realized he never had lessons or anything!

Also, Hamlet makes me want a mini-pig in the worst way! I love how he DIVES into the oatmeal.

Why did the loud chewer over the cube wall from me get replaced by another loud chewer? If I can't see you eat, I should not know so many details of your consumption.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

I swear someone just mentioned that story/concept around/to me within the last couple weeks.

ita, I want to say there was something about it on Andrew Sullivan's blog recently. I believe it was discussion of a native American belief that you die a second time when the last person that knew you dies.

I don't think I've been to his blog. It's not ringing any bells.

Question about terms: "last stand"--does it have to be fatal? Can you win a last stand? Can you potentially stand again?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

"last stand" is someone's fight to death. if it isn't yours, it is your opponent's.

traditionally.

more colloquially it can refer to someone's last attempt at something, before the person decides to leave.
