If Oscar Wilde had lived in our time, he would be a /b/tard.

Actually, scratch that. He does, and goes by Jethro Q Walrustitty.

Oh my my, do you have a guest in your arms? Such a cute little thing, with all those golden curls... Tell me, tell me, darling, how much you love her?

I actually researched albinism for one of my characters, who was also Aspergic, Kleptomanic, had two prosthetic legs, and a lazy eye.

That's quite the basket.

What Could Have Been: Freakazoid! was originally going to be a comedic adventure series featuring The Creeper.

...That makes sense.

A program written before my parents existed. Isn't it ugly?

But it would be so easy to fix it so that it would run now. I wouldn't even have to edit it; I just have to redefine bits of the system around it. (Well, I suppose I'd have to parenthesize the "define", but close enough.)

Maybe I just got spoiled by watching the two Lets Plays backwards, but 06 seems very unfinished compared to Sonic Unleashed

I have this massive arm hair which is about a third the size of my wrist. [lol]

Jack returned home again—what he thought of as home now—pockets empty of their illegitimate freight, filled with the scrap paper and metal of illegal transaction. With no birth certificate he could never participate in the legal economy. Ever.

He would be living like this, gathering all the scraps he could muster to support himself, for the rest of his life. The house with the adopted family felt like a distant fantasy now.

But as long as he had what help him living, what help him pushing, he could live like this. In any case, anything was better than the colorless life he lived at the city. Anything.

A dark fuzzy pigtailed head materialized at the bottom frame of the screen at the door, its owner jumping vigorously to get it open.

Jack waited, his fair face aglow with a smile. Shanie got the door open and rushed into his waiting arms. He laughed and spun his little niece into the air, kissing her on her brown cheek.

And suddenly the girl jerked sharply in her arms, and spasmed. Jack panicked, he asked her, what's wrong, and looked into her face. Her eyes bulged, she foamed at the mouth.

Jack saw the reason why. He saw the small dart sticking out of the side of her neck.

He rushed Shanie into the house, laid her out on his lap, pulled the dart out. Held her firmly through her jerks and spasms, wiped her cheek. He bent over and caressed her, his lips against her tiny ear. She squeezed his fingers in her little grip, and then every muscle in her body reeled.

He fingered a small, wrangled object in her sweaty palm. Saw this: could spell out the letters of his name, guess the letters of hers, they held hands in a bright crayon world.

Jack welled up. He shook, and rocked her in his arms.
