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.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I'll bring the sparklers!

Just keep them away from Cass -- or we'll have a whole new reason to take away someone's bucket.

Hmmm.

Once she stopped being mad about the going to dark side thing, that might be a good thing.

You never gave me work.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I did have to reject many of his suggestions -- like not having chairs at the ceremony for the guests

We didn't. Everybody brought their own.

Seconding what everyone said about not feeling bad, Susan. Every other weekend I see people who either don't know and are afraid to ask, or people who think they know and so they don't ask. The latter usually fares a little worse. Usually when our speakers get up and start talking, hands starts going up.

Insent, Weepy.

P.H. and I are like soooo close now. And by close I mean, "I'm still totally intimidated even though we sit on Boards together and she sends me interns." If MWu gets that job I just told you about in email, she'll be in a good position to help you out!

YAY.

She could! I'm not sure I would want to work there, but she could.

Punishingly Intricate

I am having a stupidly stressy day.

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

Right?! Hopefully no one else here read that article, or it's just me whose relationship is doomed in the future through no fault of my own.
