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.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

San Franciscans--I'm meeting some friends in the Mission for dinner, and we decided to meet a little earlier for drinks. Where should we go?

Is the Pied Piper within walking distance of where you'll be? Drinks are always better if you can look at a Maxfield Parrish mural while sipping them.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I have set myself some low standards for future earnings, I tell you what.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

It was me that liked Scandel, yes! I hope it keeps up the quality. I was actually thinking about awesome it would be paired with Revenge as well, with maybe Castle or the Good wife as well.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

you are a good person, and I'll take your word for it.

Ha ha ha! I don't know that anyone's ever been considered a good person for watching Grey's Anatomy, but I'll take it.

I should try Scandal and maybe actually watch The Good Wife (I usually watch some after TAR), but I feel like my tv schedule is full enough.

Just got a massage and grocery shopped, and I feel SO GOOD about the start my weekend is off to. I am definitely shaking off the work craziness of the last couple of weeks.

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

Went downtown for the Cherry Blossom street fair. What we saw of it was nice.(We got part of the way around before my folks got tired)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It is SO GORGEOUS outside, but OMG, my neighborhood could not be more of a zoo. My massage therapist felt bad about all the honking and sirens outside, but I didn't actually care, due to living in the city. The massage place is about a block from the marathon finish line, so it was definitely a mess out there.

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

Tax question (and I am heading out in a few minutes, so I'll be back later in the evening):

Okay, I'm filling out my Schedule C form for my business. Now it says to file it with my 1040; D and I are, of course, filing our personal taxes jointly in the 1040 Long Form.

Does the Schedule C just get added to this personal 1040 form...or is there some other form I need to fill out besides the Schedule C for this annual filing for the 2011 year? I DID send in my Quarter 3 1099 and payment, but NOT my Q4?

(X-post with Business: feel free to comment on board or e-me at profile addy.)

Any thoughts/help much appreciated!

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

So I just posted this:

Apparently I have a job offer. I just met with the person who is my would-be new boss and they are coming after me.

I need (desperately) some sanity 'ma. If I leave, people at my current work are going to be awful for a period of time. If I don't leave, I think I'm going to regret this decisions for the rest of my life.

Wow. I didn't know how I felt about it until I typed it out in black and white! More in Natter.

I've been processing this shit since February and I just need to make a decision and be okay with it.
