Wow so much to do, msbelle!!

Dana, I too am curious how you figured that out. And wherever it wS a fan you knew and liked or disliked!!

Atropa, I'm scared of you with a taser. I do feel like anyone who is going to use one (aka cops) should have to get tased.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

We also can sign up to get shot with a taser, but it's not mandatory, so that's a relief.

Well sure, because if you're getting shot with a taser, it'd be a comfort to be able to think to yourself, "I chose this".

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Nobody I knew, and probably a few years before I was deep into fandom. We do have degrees from the same small university program, though.

Of course the Vampire Queen should be able to shoot lightning from her fingertips!

Did you say where you're working, or is that a dark mystery known only to your worshipful minions?

Thrive to spite them

YAY on the house msbelle! And Nora. Those are awesome.

Also it's awesome Atropa gets a discount on tasers. Does that mean the Evil Bunny will be getting one too?

Thrive to spite them

And this needed it's own post. Got to pick up my nephew at summer camp. I asked him how it went and he said ok. They went on a hike and then played in a creek for the last half hour or so. I asked what they did and he said "all the other kids went up stream to have a water fight and I stayed and tried to catch fish and then skipped rocks". I kind of tried to ask some questions , was trying to figure out why he didn't go up stream but he just said "I didn't want to " and didn't really respond to other questions.

I think my nephew is like me in many ways and that kinda makes me sad and then it makes me sad that it makes me sad. He is an awesome kid and I don't want to see him hurt or lonely and I know this is life and we can't protect against that. He is in 5th grade this year and then next year he'll be in middle school. I'm kind of hoping middle school will be more his jam. I know in middle school there are clubs and more structured activities and I'm hoping he can find his people or at least a buddy.

I never really found my people until y'all but at least in middle school I had at least one friend for chunks of the time.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Does that mean the Evil Bunny will be getting one too?

Ultimately, this is my biggest question.

askye, I think your nephew has a great thing going for him, having you in his corner with some idea of what things are like for him. There's certainly some sadness that you didn't find your place at his age, and I don't want to sound like I'm discounting that, but your self-knowledge and experience can be a huge guidepost for him.
