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.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Happy Birthdays!

In non-sequitur posting:

I somehow missed the more recent stuff about OJ, and I had no idea that Ron Goldman was SO YOUNG!!! He was 25. I somehow was picturing a 50 year old man this whole time.

Our wings are not tired.

I can't imagine wearing socks any time soon.

Happy birthday wishes to Calli and Burrell! May your days be filled with treats and may all around you spoil you adequately.

I am programmed to wake with the sun and although it rises later here than in much of this country, it is still later than I need so I am forced to get up in the dark. Boo.

I wear socks all year long because my leg braces are too uncomfortable without socks. If it is really hot in the summer I'll we knee hi nylons.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Sophia, what recent stuff about OJ? The shows?

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

If I remember correctly, Heart started life as a Led Zeppelin cover/tribute band, so their LZ covers are consistetly pretty amazing.

You are correct, Karl. I love Heart.

I missed Socktober, but I got a whole bunch of cute Halloween socks for myself and Peanut at Target yesterday.

Happy birthday, Calli & Burrell!

I got excited there for a second thinking I could go to Target and get cute Halloween socks for ltc, but then I remembered that ltc hates socks and it is impossible to keep them on her.

Sorry- yes-- the two shows! No new information. But I am listening to a True Crime Podcast called "Real Crime Profiles" [link] about the case. It is a pretty cool round table with a New Scotland Yard Criminal Behaviorist, an FBI Profiler, and the casting director for the TV show Criminal Minds!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Talking to someone about utilities for the new house, and he's making small talk. STOP TALKING TO ME. I already didn't want to call.

Oh, the socks are only on when we're outside & Peanut is in her carrier or stroller & distracted from the THInGS on her FEET.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

Happy birthdays!!!!

I want socks. And new black boots.

I will not be watching tonight's debate. I will be enjoying the sounds of Superchunk at the NC Fair. This pleases me and I only wish that HRC didn't have to participate for her own sanity. I can't imagine...

I knew Ron Goldman, several years prior to his murder. He dated a friend of mine and we all used to hang out at his home. He worked an after school Y program with my high school BFF and he was SO good with kids. It was adorable. He was cocky and funny and smart. My heart still breaks for his family.
