If I can make it through today without GODDAMNED KILLING SOMEONE.
That would probably be best, if not as satisfying
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.

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

I, too, am in a place where I would take pleasure in other people's pain. I'm nearly in a brain space where I would make kids lose hold of their balloons so I could watch them cry as it floats away.

Totally right there with you! No choking people out or threatening to cut them today! I know I'm supposed to be avoiding baked goods, but I am eating a mini-cupcake and listening to a David Bowie channel on Pandora because the alternative is MURDER.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
The soles of the shoes I wore to services today cracked and bits fell off. I've never seen shoes do that before. Granted, these shoes were at least 10 years old, but I only wore them a couple of times a year.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
It is a great consolation to know that others have the same problems with these various coworkers as I do, but doesn't actually get me very far.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My water heater is leaking. Lots of corrosion around the copper pipes. Not leaking on the floor or causing damage to anything else but the water heater itself, though. In six months or so, I'll be able to replace it without putting it on a credit card, so I think I'll take a chance and wait. Replacing it isn't simple or cheap, considering it's on the second floor, and I'm not interested in getting a smaller one. My BFF says she replaced hers by herself (of course, sigh) for about $200, but (a) I'm not doing it myself, because (b) it's on the second floor, and also (c) no.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
We were wondering if our gas lines got some sort of horrific filth in them recently, because the thermocouple on our hot water heater died Monday (Tim replaced it last night, hallelu), and yesterday I saw the neighbor across the street getting delivery of a new hot water heater. I should poll the rest of the neighbors.

He must have been in some alt-reality.
ita: so sorry about that job. I think it's worse when you do well at an interview and still don't get the position. (That just happened to me and one of my co-workers who interviewed at the same place. . . I figure that the interviewers just have good chemistry with everyone.)
In unrelated news: I love it when artists use stichery in their work (or as their medium).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Wow, sumi, those are gorgeous.
Were the houses all built at the same time, Steph? Maybe the thermocouples are reaching the ends of their natural lifespans at the same time.
Lucy is chowing down on some cilantro. I am not sure, now, if it was Lucy or Ethel who tried it first. I think Ethel.
