Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

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.

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

Jesse, congratulations!

And yes, wait for the offer letter. Not saying anything is going to happen, but I'd want it in hand before giving notice.

(Actually, I think you gave me the same advice a few months ago....)

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

we want you to tell us about your personal relationship with design.

Design thinks it's too good for me, the stuck-up douche.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I wish I had Design. And a root.

I have always suspected Design's designs.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

earwormed now - I'd be lying if I said I didn't have designs on you.

Congratulations, Jesse!

Design and I are frenimies. It always asks me if I'm feeling okay, I look tired.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, I know waiting is the rule. But if I don't have it by my one-on-one with my boss tomorrow afternoon, it will be tragic. Tragique, even!

Yes! In ... half an hour, actually. So I need to finish my tea and put on something other than skeleton pjs.

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

Design spent the night; now the place looks great but I can't find anything. Wait, are these spoons?

I just discovered that the Elfster wishlist has a button you can add to your browser to grab things from other sites and put them in your Elfster wishlist.
