Handsome brooding vampire guy has to swoop in all sensitive mouth and overhanging forehead. How 'bout leaving some scraps for the homely-looking fellows who don't turn evil when they get some?

A place where we can talk about ita, miss ita, and share information about memorials. The hugging started over here in Natter.

Compassionately intolerant

It's not ridiculous.

I've had 3 experiences like the one you had in my own life.

No explanation, but not ridiculous.

The day my grandmother died, my father,stepmother and I were in the car driving toward the hospital, roughly 90 minutes away.

I was in the back seat. Suddenly, I felt a 'clunk' in my chest. I must have made a sound. My father looked at me in the rear view mirror and asked, "Is she gone?" When I said yes, he said, "No hurry now" and slowed down.

He checked his watch. You can guess the rest.

I would never have pegged him for believing in such things, but there you have it.

I wish I could see it that way, but I'm not wired that way. It's just my brain being a butthead for me.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I mostly don't. The weather was changing, which literally fucks with my head, and I'm prone to headaches anyway. But this one was SO different, so a tiny part of me just wonders.

I was referring to my dream, sorry.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I think I posted about this in Bitches, but this year on NYD (which was my grandmother's birthday) the ceramic Christmas tree that she made randomly started playing music. I was sitting on the couch on the other side of the house, and I had forgotten it was even musical, so it freaked me out. I definitely believe she was saying "hello".

Ooops. I misread you (is that egotistical of me? I feel like it is). No big.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

FYI, I've heard indications of interest in having an open house Monday at my place, starting at 1. I will add details later in here/Press/FB, just wanted to let people know that if they would like to talk, meet, hoist a gimlet, please come.

I wish I could be there, Bon.

Steph, all good.

Whereabouts are you, bon? I'm in the Valley and we are moving next week, but if you're close, I'd love to stop in.

I think inflicting a headache on one of her friends would be about the last way ita would want to mark her passing. Now, if your TV turned itself off as a Halle Berry movie came on Saturday night, I might not be so quick to dismiss it as coincidence.
