I myself am very leery about hexing. But then I believe in the Threefold Law.

I've not really hexed anyone, but I have added a malicious edge to may your actions come back to haunt you, fuckhead a couple of times.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

I think this one was my favorite:

I wish I had Design. And a root.

I may have to rethink my pointed remarks to fellow drivers on the commute. But I shall continue to laugh at Hubby yelling "Get a move on, chicken lips!" I don't know why "chicken lips." He says it was just in his head.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I went to a store over lunch for something entirely else and happened upon the first piece of my Secret Santa. Whoo!

(I didn't have something in mind, just stumbled across something just too perfect.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Given that hexes may bounce back, and the inexorable forward progression of time is probably an illusion, I prefer to throw at people bad things that have *already* happened to me. "May you be chased by bees!" However, if I rightly understand the laws of the process I've made up here, I can only use each bad thing once.

If each migraine I have is a discrete entity bounded in time, can I give each migraine away, hex-like? Or only one migraine, ever?

(I'm really only asking because I have one now and it's progressed into the hurting-the-FUCK-out-of-my-inner-ear stage of a migraine that means my whole goddamn trigeminal nerve is irritated and taking it out on me.)

Each migraine is an individual experience, so you can give away each one! That of course doesn't mean you don't have it, just that once you've experienced it, you have it stored in your personal karmic bag of tricks.

I'm gonna start a religion. Or write a novel.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I'm gonna start a religion. Or write a novel.

Be like L Ron Hubbard and do both!

What's the price? I've seen Full Metal Alchemist. I know Buffy came back wrong. I know how this shit works.
