It has been a long week, and i have a lot of long, thoughtful entries half-formed. This is not one

Do not be jealous of your sister.
Know that diamonds and roses
are as uncomfortable when they tumble from one's lips as toads and frogs:
colder, too, and sharper, and they cut.

-from “Instructions” by Neil Gaiman

I'm still working on those thoughtful entries.

( but for now, I'm the Whore of Babylon, and other quizzes )
