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

I remember ita wondering if your name translating to "negativi-tee" and laughing.

Oh, yeah! I remember wishing I was that clever.

Because books.

It's funny, because I think of some people as their real names, and some as their board names only. Sail, you've always been "Sail" to me.

I hadn't realized at the time quite how uncommon a name is Marcontell.

Does that mean I shouldn't use it as a character last name? Because it's a great name.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

You should totally use it as a character last name!

Plei, see the SPN thread. Fandoms collide.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My first board name (not here) was "seniorslayer," which I realized too late made me sound like I was in my dotage.

It makes me think you're a creepy serial killer who is so slow you can only sneak up on very very old people.

when i die, please bake my ashes into a brick and use me to hit fascists.

When I first started with the Internets, no one told me not to use my real name, so I've used it a lot of places. Joining this board where I didn't know anybody, I figured it was my opportunity to actually have a screen name.

Because books.

And now you see why I stopped using it.

How are y'all doing, Amy?

Sara and I are settled with a friend of my mom's (she's awesome, and another teacher at the Friends School here). It's weird, because I don't know her very well at all, but she's lovely and has three cats (Charlie, Iris, and June) and we have our own rooms and bathroom. It's going to be a good place to regroup.

Ben is with his best friend here in town (another awesome family) and Stephen and Jake are, unfortunately, back in Fulton for the time being. I'm looking for a job and looking into some other counseling-shaped things and starting to think about the future, which is, frankly, terrifying right now. Big changes. Not sure which might be for the best, unexpectedly. Thank you for asking!
