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.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG "Enjoys: Singing, Batman". He is totally your husband.

Also, I think it's posssssible that JFK was just using it as a line.

At the restaurant waiting. I seriously do not know what to do. My office is jam packed with crazy right now so to some extent shock will new muted but still.

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

Brenda, I so don't envy you! clear-head-ma, at least?

At least I was able to nudge *my* new boss away from calling her with this on her birthday. Not that that helps me any.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I hope I can save someone someday.

I called the dealership, and he said his part locator says no one has the part. So I will call in the morning when they open to verify.

I'm shaky. My dad told me to go buy a new car.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Allyson, I'll let you know as soon as I hear anything on this. I just finished the email to one of my national service guys.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

I hope I can save someone someday.

Haven't you already saved ita?

Jason talked me off the ledge, and explained that I was getting shitty service, and that he'd be SHOCKED to find that GM doesn't have a pedal for a 2004.

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

She totally saved me. Many times over.

MFNlaw, does this sound bananas to you? It's just that I'm dealing with a jerk, right?

Should I call that place in Atlanta tomorrow, have it overnighted to me, and walk into the dealership with it and hand it over to the general manager?
