*g* I'm sorry! It's in my nature! I can't get truly get to know people unless I put them through a battery of meaningless exams and memes. It's sick and I promise to seek help.
1. Those are three powerful incentives: Kat, and being bullied, and angst. I completely understand why you cracked like an egg.
2. Ugh, I just read "Three Kings" a few days ago and I'm still recovering. She doesn't pull any punches, and she goes right for the gut every time. Good lord, this line: "It made Ray's blood run cold to think about what it must be like, loving a woman so much that you step away and let her raise your own sons to pray like your executioners did, send them to Catholic school, gather them around the table and have the three goddamn fucking wise men at the back of it all, hidden away but always there." Wow.
And the others you mentioned are, of course, top-quality picks. I'd include a few of yours on my list, too: "Get What You Need," naturally, and "Taken" and a whole host of those snippets you do so well. You don't pull any punches either.
3. Excellent news!
4. Man, we're evenly split between the turtle and the bear. I think I'll need to hold some kind of run-off election.
5. We DO have the knives! The knives of anguish and despair!
