The magnets pull all the toxins out of your body as they pass through.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I saw the coolest book when we were out shopping yesterday, and thought of Jilli, and of other Buffistas. It's this coolly drawn, interactive book, "There Was An Old Lady That Swallowed a Fly": [link]

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Cool! How do you do that?
With a magnetic induction cooker. It sounds cooler to just say I cook with magnets.

Wouldn't there be a Jilli-font in there somewhere?

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
Making soup with magnets sounds like a modernized version of "Stone Soup".

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
Uh, did I know we'd been namechecked in a webcomic?
I bought a signed print.
I'm not making my proposal deadline and feel like a failure, that I've lost my writing mojo, and am in general a complete loser.
To solve this, I am going to eat cake for breakfast, go into the bathroom for a good cry, and try to get through my workday.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Allyson, whatever happens with that deadline, you are a writer, and a damn good one!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I don't think that missing a writing deadline has yet made someone a bad person. Think how unlikely it would be for you to be the first, Allyson! That's how I manage that.
I'm so not a psychologist.

Now tagless for your comfort.
This one, Allyson? Cause that's AWESOME.
Sick kids at home involves lots of Angry Birds, crackers and Sprite.

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

You're not, and please stop telling yourself that. Losers are people who do horrible, heinous things like hate people on the basis of their color or sexual orientation. That's not you.
You haven't lost your writing mojo; it's just not cooperating at the present moment. You are a published author with multiple books and bylines to her credit, and you have done and seen things in the world that I can only dream of. Please stop beating up my friend. I think she's pretty awesome.
