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 am willing to Paypal or send you a check for one or two of those if they need a forever home. I can pick them up in a few weeks-ish.

Kinda shocked you have 10 Samoa left. Those are ridiculously popular.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange

Just heard from a caller: "A little girl just kicked down my door!!!" and my first thought was "was she selling cookies?"

Hah, erin.

I feel kind of wild: I'm leaving the house at 8:45 on a Friday night to meet someone for drinks! Woot! Living it up! (No wonder Europeans think Americans are kinda weird.)

but before then, I should vacuum, I think.

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

Hee! Someone on deviantArt said they liked my style! I have a style! (Shut up, Amy). So what if my style is "hack away at the paper until it gives up"? That's a valid choice. I refuse to be shamed...

Because books.

(Shut up, Amy)

Uh, I said it first. And you don't just hack away at the paper. Stop that.

In Downton news, oh my god do I hate Thomas and O'Brien . But I also think they're written really over the top. There's barely a shade of gray there in either one of them.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

We are just finishing up our first cookie boxes. Mmm, Samoas and Tagalongs are my favorites. Oh oh oh! I posted some happy GS cookie squeeing on FB, and my BiL commented some crap about GMOs. Dude, I do NOT point out all the GMOs lurking in his near constant food posts, do I? But I had no choice but to ignore him as he was just looking to bait me.

Cass, I will happily put two aside for you if you want to just send a check.

We have so many samoas it's ridiculous. Last weekend at the end of boothing we had 20 boxes leftover. I cannot tell you how ridiculous my house looked that day -- boxes of cookies and envelopes of cash everywhere. Ask Kristin or Drew, if you don't believe me.

That's what it feels like with the pen though. It's weird. In the instances when a mistake doesn't ruin the picture, there's almost a physical sensation of "that's not what I meant!" and just scrubbing harder at the paper with the nib until it looks more like what I wanted.

Do you remember back at the very start of me trying to draw again when I did a teensy little foray into pen, and you said you didn't like it as much because it lacked detail? That was inking, not drawing, and it was hesitant pen over hesitant pencil, and that was just piling up weaknesses.

Sometimes now I use pencil guidelines, but they don't necessarily make for a better likeness or picture. That just...sometimes thing happens.

he was just looking to bait me.

It is clearly bait-the-buffista today. At least you chose the high road.

I think I must have tasted the American Girl Scout cookies. But I'm not a big cookie person, if cookies are not chewy and probably oatmeal.

I think my favorite cookies right now are the molasses chews I made a few weeks ago. They were sooo nummy.

Deal. I'll email you.

Oh I hate when people get into GMOs. Because they often aren't very clear what they mean or what the facts are. And I want to bash their facts because they are wrong. I don't totally disagree with their nebulous wishes, but they don't know what exactly they want. Dude, bananas.
