Simon: I'm trying to put this as delicately as I can... How do I know you won't kill me in my sleep? Mal: You don't know me, son. So let me explain this to you once: If I ever kill you, you'll be awake, you'll be facing me, and you'll be armed.

Because books.

In my head the board has always been here, because ... it was here when I found it, if that makes any sense.

I'm waiting for the meds to kick in. Totally dizzy and vertigo-ish, and I'm just sitting on the bed.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Amy is so young.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Whippersnapper. I remember when there was no board! We had to publish our posts the old-fashioned way...uphill...in the snow...

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Yes. We are terribly old. It is very sad. But we are still managing to straggle up to our keyboards so all is well. We are why I get all in a snit about people who disparage internet communities. We have been together through birth and death and marriages and divorces and illness and good fortune. It is not fake people! This is not a fake relationship. I have known you over a decade, as opposed to internet disparagers whom I have only known the merest smidgen of time. Harumph.

Sounds like a great example of mansplaining!

Glad for good interview, smonster.

I am flying to Baltimore this afternoon for some time with my parents and the family friends that lost their matriarch and patriarch a couple years ago for a musical celebration/memorial.

Just had a conversation with my sister that makes me think that my grandmother is not long for this world. At (almost) 94, it's not unexpected of course, but any ~ma that she is comfortable and maybe hangs on till I can see her a week from today would be much appreciated.

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

Remember when we had to write our posts using nails and our own blood for ink, and then tie them to the legs of pterodactyls to deliver them to the server... and then most of the time the pterodactyl would just eat the post because of the blood on it....
