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.

Our wings are not tired

I'm so sorry Sheryl. I can't imaging how draining and difficult all of it must be.

So many hard things hitting so many good people right now. You’re very much in my thoughts.

I did not get ruptured this weekend. But I did (coincidentally) celebrate siblings day by getting together in DC with my two older sisters, one of whom I have not seen since I was 10, as well as my, uh, regular brother and sister and my SIL. Turned out to be a really great weekend all around that might or might not have, but definitely did, include getting matching tattoos.

Hey Tep, just how many +ones can you bring to this wedding? Asking for a bunch of friends.

Brenda, that sounds like an excellent weekend!

Wow, what a great weekend, Brenda! I'd like more details on the matching tattoos, please.

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

I'm also working with Juliana and Sylvie to put together a Buffista-specific get together during that weekend of Jacqueline's memorial. Most probably that Saturday night after the Memorial earlier that same day. (With a break to change costume and recharge after socializing.)

I will probably be beholden to visiting family responsibilities that Friday night, but, of course, Buffistae can gather ad hoc as they please that night.

Taxes filed and accepted. Don't need to be productive for the rest of the weekend. Score.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh crap, that was my to-do item for tonight!

There's still time! Unless you have actual, fun plans, in which case, screw it. But, you know, only until tomorrow or Sunday.

It’s a variation on this, though this one is not us. [link]

Mine is middle of my upper back.

My brother declined to participate, hahaha, but both he and SIL came to watch.
