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, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Checking in here now...

I'm stunned. I never met ita in person, but she was so much a part of this board that it's going to be weird here without her.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I, too, have taken some small comfort in the thought that she was reading on-line and just slipped away from meatspace (a term she taught me).

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

So I think it's not entirely my looking-for-any-sort-of-comfort in choosing to see this specific not-alone meaning in this line.

I take great comfort in that.

I had people ask me if they should come over, so I wouldn't be alone. I told them that I was going online. It's where all of our mutual friends are, so I wouldn't be mourning alone. We'd be together.

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

Angus?

I contacted him.

Hey John! Missed you.

"Somewhere in this building is our talent." Toby Ziegler, my spirit animal

Every time I want to righteously kick someone's butt, I'm sure she'll be there, like Tom Joad, but sexy.(And I bet she'd want me to rewrite that sentence.)

I may have to seize the cat.

I'll join the chorus of people comforted by her being online.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

The crying has hit me off and all most of the afternoon. What terrible and unexpected news.

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

I emailed Fiona at the address I had for her. Not sure if it is still current.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I will join too. I thought- "Oh good, she wasn't alone."

Thanks, y'all.

Does anyone have contact info for Deena? Has she been contacted?
