No, Steph, leave it. It's not you. It's those assholes that make up most of the world.
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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Oh dear. I guess I won't click that link, huh? I'm sorry, Liese.

'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"
Now I'll never know who to be mad at/sad for.

I think it is safe to say people in general, on both accounts.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I would like to say that assholes don't make up most of the world. But the non-assholes usually aren't in your face, so they are easier to forget/ignore.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Also, non-assholes are likely to apologize for assholish behavior, which makes it easier to forgive.

We went out to the party store to get another cheap hat for Hubby. His purple and gold Mardi Gras fedora has been a big hit with people (he took off the green feather). He's taking a break from that one to go with a bright green fedora. I talked him out of the green top hat, because he's going to be called a leprechaun often enough. I got a burgendy fedora to go with him. One older woman kept giving us dirty looks as we looked at hats. Probably at our frivolity.
I also got a perple rhinestone ID badge holder. It's very sparkly.

Argh, there are so many things that are a mess at my job. Also I am ready to go! Can I go yet? Maybe 10 minutes.
