Y. Effusive, embarrassing, and possibly kinda scary amounts of gratitude to romanyg for paid time. You're awesome with the love and make lj a cooler place to be, and not just for the random fairy gifts on the doorstep!

A. And: I'm back! For good this time I think. I helped my brother move to Gainsville, Florida--I'd never been to FL. Or Mississppi or Alabama. It's humid in Houston, but Florida is SWIMMING in it. Seriously, if you can't hold your breath for long times underwater, don't go to Florida. I nearly Wicked Witched of the West'ed.

Y. Ask a question, any question about me, about fandom, about fic, about lj, about you, about oompas or hatracks or zits or finely carved small foxes, and I'll answer to the best of my ability. Unless I don't feel like it; then you're screwed. But no, really, I want to play! *blows breath on window and draws heart with fingers*

! ZOMG thank you again romanyg!

I did read that one. What's funny is it's almost exactly like another story in the collection I was reading. There's this one about this guy who's very controlling of his wife--he hates it when she smokes, etc. He knows he's going to die and accepts some crackpot scheme to preserve his brain and one eye so he can live forever. He informs the wife of it in a letter posthumously--a letter which also reminds her to be a good little widow. She goes to see the brain and eye. She lights up a cigarette--and can see the pupil of the eye contracting with anger. She tells the crackpot she's going to take her husband home--and they're going to have such a happy life together.

FUCKED UP.

BWAH! So very Dahl.

His wife was a famous actress who became very ill. I think she couldn't walk at one point. Any way, he nursed her back to health and then divorced her. That always struck me as odd.

He's got to have had a weird life to write about the things he does.
