Furthermore

1) The thing I forgot to include in my last post:



Earlier this week I earned the "double flock" badge on 750words.com, which means that I've written a quarter of a million words on the site in the last two years since starting there. \o/

2) After trying off and on to fit it to every pairing/character I've been obsessed with interested in in the last four years or so, I have finally assigned Iron & Wine's "Resurrection Fern" pretty firmly to the Nate and Brad I'm writing about right now.

Uh. Sorry, guys. Things will get better, I promise.

(In our days we will say
What our ghosts will say:
We gave the world what it saw fit
And what'd we get?

Like stubborn boys with big green eyes
We'll see everything:
In the timid shade of the autumn leaves
And the buzzard's wing

And we'll undress beside the ashes of the fire
Our tender bellies are wound around in baling wire....)

I'm just gonna go write some ... suffering.
