Because this. Yes.


and, in far less concise but still interesting detail, jaylake talks about why this is all true. (this is all stuff I know so deep in my bones, it's tough for me to talk about. So thanks to Mr. Lake for doing it for me. )

My first reaction to the play? His wife and my wife are the same person.

That was great.

Don't worry. I covered some of it for you and casacarona. Somehow, it feels necessary to me that I remind myself of these details every so often. Not that they apply to much of what I'm doing these days, but--as you said--they're so deeply imprinted on me, it's like they're a catechism I have to prove I still know. Go figure that out sometime. ::sigh::

Oh my god . . . Laura Anne, I just read Scalzi's piece. Thank you soooooo much for linking this.

It's a good thing I'm crazy about JC, and that John has a quite spiffy wife of his own . . . or I'd be on one knee proposing marriage by now.

Bahahahahahahahahaha!
