"Dead baby jokes are always appropriate when you have a dead baby."
We got through Leah's first week back at work without anything too terrible happening, but it was full of rough edges. I had people asking me whether or not I had a boy or a girl, somebody asked Leah if it was true that "the other girl's baby died" and just a bunch of tiny moments of sadness. Oh, and then Leah made one of the student teachers cry. ( Read more... ) -
Dancing, pining, and plastic martini swords
Latest batch of prompt fills from Tumblr! These are loose and extremely non-betaed. Mostly "grab a prompt and write till you find an end or get tired of it" with no research or stopping for logic or any kind of good sense. Archiving them here so they don't get lost in the shuffle at Tumblr.

True love, and other moral quandries
In which I pick apart characters on The Vampire Diaries to talk about love, power, and relationship dynamics. If you don't watch that show, or don't want to listen to me prattle on about it, move along, move along. I should also mention that I say some disparaging things about Damon. Don't kill me, okay? I still love him and think he's a great, ( Read more... ) -
