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.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Um. We could...

GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE, DAMN YOU!!

Shit's all sorts of different now.

You come up here!

That leaves The Child with too many things to destroy!

And the strawberries!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I wish I could show Aimee and MM to my boss and coworkers as an effective example of medium-distance communication. Instead of the yelling from office to office and down the hall that they currently do.

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

Jersey Shore. All my family and friends. Lots of good food. Perfect water. Boardwalk.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

My perfect weekend would be one in my new house-to-be.

That is as far as my brain can think right now.

Oooh, I could go for a Jersey Shore weekend, too, but then I'm going to visit family there in a week or so anyway.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

It's been 9 years since I've been in London, which is about 9 years too long. That's where I'd be. Only hard part would be deciding what to do with so little time.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
