Accidents of nomenclature
Whenever I’m working on a longer story, i have the main story file and another file that I keep around that is a catch-all for either things that I know I want to use but I don’t know precisely where or scenes that come to me whole cloth (usually at 5 am) and that I want to get down because I won’t need it for a few weeks.

codalion replied to your post: SO.
Family! *fistbump* (Seriously, all my sympathies.)
I KNOW RIGHT? ISN’T IT THE AWESOMEST!
And can we talk about Vespasian's last words
caesarindahood:
“I think I’m becoming a god.”
Substantial debate on the tone of that statement. Given everything else we know about him, I can’t believe it’s anything other than a joke at his own expense, but that is by no means a universal opinion.

Going to the tire center to find that this tire needs to be replaced, in addition to another tire which is down to the threads on the inside
Me getting home and thinking that finally...

– Fragment #105A :: If Not, Winter (Fragments of Sappho)
This is a really beautiful fragment. It’s also a lot of fun from another perspective, which is to say, it’s fun to watch Sappho addressing the fact that the bride is apparently no blushing young thing but well past the usual age for...

Not that I’m complaining.
She texted me last week from a Carter’s that was having an end-of-year sale, asking if there was anything we needed; I said that more fleece and layering pieces would be good. So yesterday we got this GIANT BOX of 3-6 month clothes, mostly leggings and long-sleeved/long-legged fleece pieces, with a couple of little jackets. They’re...

Poor husband spent the last five days fighting off a cold. He got over it just in time to go back to work. So of course I woke up with a sore throat.

A letter written by Mr. Stephen Fry to a girl suffering from depression.

All right, he had given it a token effort.
It was just his nature. He couldn’t help himself. The woman - and she was definitely a woman; no euphemism of...
