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.

Oh man, that's rough, Kat. (And the fact that they changed the words to mass weirds me out)

I'm halfway through Yuletide: into the M's. And there is a lot of EXCELLENT Martian fic!! Highly recommend.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Chicago is a giant slushee right now.

Sorry, but it's gross out there.

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

The preacher who gave the sermon at my mom's funeral actually didn't know her. So we told him all about her. He ignored everything we said and read a canned sermon. Even called mom by her first name, Mary. No one ever called her Mary in her life. It was so insulting. If we'd had any energy left we'd have demanded our money back.

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

Do I want this?

Do you have room for it? I can see enjoying it if you have room for it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Even with the discount, kinda expensive for a cat tree.

Phbbt. I need something of that wood and shelving space(I'd remove bottle slats for shelving) for my nice dishes and nice booze.

Dear god, I wish I had my retiring csfuckover boss's personal email. She told me she'd sign off on any time card, she doesn't give a shit either. Supremely uncomfortable sick outing even so, but also unrelenting in doing it. Fuck over me? Screw you. 750+ hrs of sick leave gone Jan 1. I'll burn the 32 I can.

I think there might be another meltdown in my div boss's office come the new year. He asked me to be patient,but I don't know if I can. I mean, finding a new job may very well take past may, but I want and maybe need a fucking line instead of 5 months of uncertainty. I don't want a new job, I want a new contract. Let me shit or get off the pot.
