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.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Go msbelle, with the productive day and an extra day off!

I finally looked up my LJ password (and user name) and discovered I haven't been active since 2011. I'd say I can just delete that account without worrying about saving anything for posterity.

I'm supposed to work tomorrow, but I have a horrible cold and it's an official corporate holiday. I think I should bow out tomorrow.

As well they should. RESPECT the nicest!!

I slept in, then puttered around shopping a bit this afternoon. Got some new throw pillows for the living room and some shelves for the Harry Potter bathroom. Tomorrow Kelly and I are updating the bathroom decorations.

I swam! Did my whole usual 54 laps, plus cooldown. I have no idea how slow because my timer died, but I'm sure it was slow. But I did it. And while it was harder than before, it wasn't bad. Only twinged the big incision when I did lifts from the pool, which is to be expected.

Guard was impressed. And requested a gorey holiday card;)

I would really like to print my old lj stuff into a book (as if I'd been keeping a paper diary) I still read dw and lj but haven't posted much the past year or two.

Msbelle, I'm impressed at what you got done. I had an awesome cuddle-filled weekend with friends, but other than an impressive brunch (coffee, mimosas, bacon, hash browns, pumpkin pancakes, and an egg/pepper/spinach scramble), the only thing accomplished was not enough sleep, too much alcohol, and introducing people to Veronica Mars.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Wow, sarameg, congrats!

I am stupid tired. I might just go to bed now.

These days I primarily use LJ as an image host for drawings I might want to link to. I'm Ok with keeping that there, and since I don't think I revealed anything identity-thefty I should be good.

YAY swim.

meara, I was going to point you to [link] but it looks like it only works on certain platforms. BUT it looks like there are instructions if you search livejournal to wordpress that are pretty simple.
