Quote du jour, non-buffyverse. Sort of. (But we'll get there)

FYI - This may be a bit ramble-y and incoherent; I can't tell. I had my first epidural for a back injury today, so if this is a mess, blame the steroids. I know I will.

[Especially if my vulva starts to shrink...]
"I think there's a mythology that if you want to change the world, you have to be sainted, like Mother Teresa or Nelson Mandela or Archbishop Tutu. Ordinary people with lives ( Read more... )

This post and the quote for the win!

Yay!

Yikes, hope your back is feeling better. And rambly thoughts are often the best kind. :)

Thanks, hon! I do think that shot is helping already but HRFS was it painful! (I injured myself back in November and I'm only now having this done but it's taken the doctors and insurance forever to approve this. You'd think I was having experimental surgery or something.)

Sorry about the back . . . and great quote!

*evil laugh is evil*

Also, well said, hon. :)

**mwahahahhaha***

I was going to quote you the anonymous (to me at least) AoL judge who said it best, re: coalitiongirl's story "Just You":
Fandom doesn't like Kennedy. Fandom doesn't like second-person point of view. Well, fandom can bite my shiny, metal ass.

I then I realized that you've seen that comment already. ;) Still pretty awesome comment. And it applies to Dawn as well IMNSVHO. Dawn ROCKS. Anyone want details? I can provide.

Fairly familiar, since I wrote it. :)

And it was VERY well said, hon.
