screaming loud enough to turn back the wind

So, for some reason that I cannot (honestly) fathom, people really want to read "And Into The Sky."  There are parts of it I like("What Does My Room Say About Me?" and "The Actor In Us All") but on the whole?  It kinda makes me cringe(the story, not the requests.  Those are cool.  And kinda scary.). 

Also, my subconscious?  Is very very creepy.  I have the oddest dreams.  Of course, I blame the one last night(DAMNED CREEPY) on the fact that my mom is going out of town for TWO WEEKS, which is the longest we've been apart for nineteen years.  (Yes, I'm a momma's girl.  What of it?)

Also, squared?  tigris_lilsisis starting to see slash!  *hee*  She blames me for it.  *still heeing*

ETA: Also, Mom made it safely!  YAY!
