I didn't realize there were so many more Holt novels after that stage of my life. I need to read them now.

Because books.
We were talking about writers like her in Literary a while back. Phyllis Whitney, Dorothy Eden, I forget the others.

Which is really damn weird to me, considering I don't use Instagram.

And I'm going a bit nutty collecting them. I'm not searching them out as obsessively as the "Avon Satanic Gothic" books, but I do keep an eye out for them.

I'm glad to hear Callaluna's mom and Kiba's bonus mom are both recovering well. Here's to speedy pain easing.
I am ridiculously easy to google, but since I'm Famous On Teh Interwebs, that's okay.
Sometimes without even trying: I googled something looking for clip art to put into a document once, and a picture of you came up, and I was a) tickled, and b) confused... until I realized it was the article you appeared in re: office attire. Then it made sense.

My board name is Sparky's parents' dog's name. At the time, it seemed like a good idea.
Amy, I'm glad to see your pixels and to hear your news. Been thinking about you. Hugs to you and S.

I'm on day #xxx of pretty fierce back pain/ leg pain from a combo of old back issues and sitting too long on my bed, working. So seeing an online friend post that writing will give you scoliosis this morning set off my nope. I questioned it because tired/out of sorts, as did a couple of others and feel like I'm getting the "can't you take a joke" look. Grumble.
