For me, the answer is addiction.

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

Probably a better answer.

There's an old joke:

"Hello, Prime Minister? This is John Smith of the London Times. What would you like for Christmas?"

"Oh, thank you for asking. I'll be satisfied with a nice new pair of socks."

The next day:

"We asked world leaders what they would like for Christmas. The American President would like world peace, the Russian Premier would like prosperity for everyone, the French Prime Minister would like an end to world hunger, and our Prime Minister would like a new pair of socks."


The moral of the story is "Morals tomorrow, comedy tonight!" Ooops, that's the moral of "A Funny Thing Happened On the Way to the Forum." The moral of this story is that context can be important. So please don't be put off that I picked a serious answer while you picked a humorous one. We were working in different contexts.

Thank you for making me laugh!

You're welcome. It's part of what I do.

I vote for Stink Bugs!

Does one dare hope that you are fond of Strunk and White?

I might like the erotic fanfic version of Strunk & White.

Oh wow, I just remembered that I've had a partly read copy of Alan Moore and Melinda Gebbie's graphic novel "Lost Girls" hanging around in my bedroom for months now.

You know your life is too damn busy when you can't remember to pick up your half-finished erotica.

Let me know what you think when you get around to it... I read the first couple of issues when they were published separately, but then there was a long hiatus and I lost track of it... it eventually came out in a single volume, that's what you're talking about, right?

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

Yep. Cat loaned it to me. I'll curl up and finish it this weekend and let you know what I think. I'm already loving it just for re-imagining the lives of Alice, Dorothy, and...I've forgotten. Drat. Will have to re-read.

Who have i forgotten? It's always the Tarot card meanings that you just can't remember that hold the lessons you're currently grappling with. Now I'm going to spend the next day wondering who I'm forgetting and what that actually means for me.

Wendy Darlington! It's Wendy I've forgotten! Had to stop and look it up.

Now what does that mean?

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

Will do. If I get far on my paper tonight I'll go back to it and finish it.

Strunk and White; MLA; APA; Little, Brown Handbook; Associated Press Style Book---all are to be sent into the flames!

[sabrinamari.livejournal.com]

Burn them.
