Buffistas

I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

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.

I feel her (Matilda's) pain, and I also know that one of the best things anyone ever told me was, "Done is better than perfect." And I was in my twenties. And it was a revelation. Kind of a sadly late one, in retrospect, but revelatory nonetheless.

(How is "revelatory" not in my spell check dictionary? That's weird.)

Punishingly Intricate

I am going to eat at Consuela's brother's restaurant next week! I'm very excited about it.

Not exciting but irritating is that I FINALLY put a wedding album together in iPhoto and tried to buy it and the upload failed and I can't figure out why and grrr. It took me a million years to organize and I don't want to have to recreate it for some other photo book program or whatever.

And I should have gone to bed about an hour ago.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

No, I would be crying NOW.

Probably at age 5 as well, but definitely NOW. Don't make me draw.

Heh, yeah, I should say that that person was talking to me in the context of writing papers, not creating artistic works (though, some of those papers were certainly creative in the "Now is the time when I draw a conclusion based on... shit, what the hell did I even say???" sections.) I was a horrible, very bad, not good student when it came to turning things in on time. I'm so sorry to your kind, buffista teachers. I'd have smacked me upside the head, probably, but none of your colleagues ever did. Well, maybe in their minds.

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

Shit, Hec, can you get me to finish my proposal? Because I think I have Matilda's problem.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I feel her (Matilda's) pain, and I also know that one of the best things anyone ever told me was, "Done is better than perfect."

I keep muttering to myself: "The perfect is the enemy of the good."

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Shit, Hec, can you get me to finish my proposal? Because I think I have Matilda's problem.

Yes, I can!

Email what you have to me at my profile addy.

Also, I'm super good at proposals.

I am doing story research, and my search history is getting increasingly bizarre. If any Buffistas know about joining the Army, you should holler so I can pick your brains.

Amy - Dec 12, 2011 6:59:34 pm PST #11257 of 30001

Because books.

If it can be "military" instead of specifically Army, shrift, I could.

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

Because I think I have Matilda's problem.

You need water poured over your cootch?
