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

What's the solution for signing in the Kindle/Nook world? I think I've seen book designed e-reader sleeves that the author can sign, but what are you going to do with them afterwards? It kind of negates the space-saving angle.

Because books.

ita, girls with e-readers in black came to the signings with silver Sharpies, and had authors sign them that way.

Actually, that could be kind of cool, if you had a bunch of author signatures on your reader.

I'm kind of split on that, whether I'd want them all together, or not. I mean, the books aren't tied to the reader, and now the signatures are? Dunno.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I, ideally, keep my books organized. The really important ones have their own shelf. So maybe those are the signatures I'd want but it's a strange mix. And, I'll be honest, I got Nikki Sixx to sign a book but I wouldn't want him to sign a reader that I had for always. I keep nineteen-year-old me and current me apart for a reason. Memory lane is just fun to visit.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Perkins! You bought a HOUSE! (And while doing all this crazy scavenger stuff!) WOWZA!

Kathy, that cut looks cute on you! Yay!

I don't want my reader signed. if I love a book and author, I will buy the damned print book. (Need to send HC version os CK to Amy AFTER Xmas. Maybe in March I'll be up for it.)

I have this visual of ita ! dressed as a cat, eating kale, sending it to her mom, and C. I don't know why, but I do, and it's freakin' hysterical.

Hey, I learned how to edit a video a little bit tonight! I have the basic skills of a 12 year old! WOO!

Cash, that is AWFUL. I am very impressed with your parenting and her response, and the school's response so far. And so sorry you are dealing with this. UGH.

Anyone I forgot in this mini-meara, I am sorry. My brain is fried.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Hey, I learned how to edit a video a little bit tonight!

ME TOO! And it only took me two tries!

Woe to the fucking wicked.

Perkins, did you consider getting a home loan in Greece?

Thanks for the compliments! I'm still loving the hair (only got flattened a little bit while sleeping). The challenge will be seeing how I can recreate this look after I dye my hair and wash it tonight or tomorrow morning (got a good half-inch of white hair at the roots).

Oh, and congrats on the house, Perkins!!

And my sympathies for family issues for ita! and msbelle. And cat problems for Sue (ugh!).

Just finished ironing two cross-stitch pieces to take to Michaels after work--one to have framed for my brother and SIL's Xmas present, and one to frame myself for me (since it's a Christmas piece, I'm not going to do anything more than mount it and frame it with a cheap pre-made frame).

not your mom's socks.

Perkins, awesome house! Congratulations!

Kathy - that's a great cut.

Msbelle, wishing you all the things you want for the holiday.

ita ! I'll back Amy up on this one... they install the guilt-talent at the hospital. I checked the bill.
