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.

Oh geez, Mac. What does he think is going to happen if he fails high school?

I got tired of letting my hair grow out after six months--it hit an awkward stage and I said screw it and shaved the side off again. Oh well.

Burrell, I think I could do whatever with my hips (though I'm now v curious what you guys do!) but somehow my back is just not flexible--bending backwards is a huge part of zouk and not a good time for me. :( also I mostly don't want to dance like that with dudes! But don't want to lead, either. So. I'll stick with west coast swing and just stare enviously. :)

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

He wan't fail, he ends up with As and Bs he just doesn't want to do work so he drags along, which is why there are consequences.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm so sorry, Juliebird. That's an awful situation to be in--where someone is causing pain but you know they aren't dong it on purpose and can't really control it, but, still, pain.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

new milestone, Mac just said Fuck You to me and has also flipped me off.

not a proud moment and I slapped him, so double not proud.

I think you should be proud of your restraint. If I'd ever done that to my Mom I'd be posting via Ouija board instead of keyboard.

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

My dad slapped me when I called him an ass. (It started out asshole, but I stopped myself, but it was still kind of there. )

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I've never sworn at my parents or siblings. My dad swore at me once, when he called me a son of a bitch. I was tempted to say, "That's not a nice thing to say about Mom," but I didn't.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I've never sworn at my parents or brother in anger. But we are a VERY profane family, so there have been many instances where some jackassery is met with "Asshat!" and the like.

Also, my mom picked up the phrase "bag of dicks" from me (as in "I thought he would be a good yoga teacher, but he turned out to be a big of dicks"), which amuses me endlessly.
