On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Heh, that's awesome, ita !, but yeah, totally go home.

In news that I swear is completely unrelated to the bloodletting conversation, I have so completely drunk the koolaid on my new bow. It's a Mathews Mission Craze. It's kinda ridiculous how much I love it.

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

I think I like the Kindle because it forces me to keep going. I am a big-time skipper. I usually read the beginning, then the end, and then decide if I will finish. Then, if I like it, I read it again. The kindle pretty much forces me to go page by page.

You are such a writer's nightmare. I'm tempted to write a novel just to make the middle incredibly fucked up and have a deceptive ending.

There's a part of me that wants to watch ita and Pete play board games, but only if I'm not participating and am at a minimum safe distance.

Hey now! I am not a spectator sport!

ita, Polgara, Allyson and, I believe, Kat. Scrabble. There was a gun in the house. Some of us were a bit worried.

Just had to come home early from wine night with neighbors. I think my friend wins for the BEST vacation story ever. Let's just leave it as she crossed several things off her list she didn't even know were on it. And several people. At least she got the full story out before my cough kicked in.

Loki wants Devi's spot. He's not being subtle. She's being stubborn.

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

I think that has already been written.

Lokes is even crying because he wants the spot.

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

THE GUN WASN'T LOADED. OMG.

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

Rick Santorum quotes as New Yorker cartoons.

And I wasn't playing scrabble!

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

But the gun WAS in a locked closet that we broke into?

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

Sounds like you all should be playing Clue!
