- @purseonality Heh… awesomely, we had 3 girls behind us giggling the whole way through. I didn't say anything, tho – they were too cute. in reply to purseonality #

- @Sulman Oh Black Rain is a not bad looking film at all. Couple of moments that I'll always remember – such as the motorbike decap? in reply to Sulman #
- @steevbishop I need to catch up on this televisual event, don't I? in reply to steevbishop #
- @steevbishop Oh gosh. Well, Girl One won't be watching it at all during the week – she's not a fan – so I don't know if that helps… EEP! in reply to steevbishop #
- The last 2 or 3 weeks have been full of exceptional days & decisions – by which I mean, different from the norm, requiring attention… #
- … Many of the exceptions have been quite, quite lovely, but it does leave one rather tired, to be frankly honest. #
- @steevbishop You have a stack of wedding magazines? in reply to steevbishop #
- @steevbishop Whaaat? It's a reasonable question – Girl One has been limited to AT MOST 1 Wedding mag every 2 months. I AM STRICT! in reply to steevbishop #
- Earlier text from Girl One: "I just walked past a man stood in a front garden with his willy out! I feel a bit disturbed now!
"… # - … Is it wrong that I'm concerned about how I compare? #

) in reply to Mykx # - @Mykx Thanks for the podcast thingie… it's really useful, I reckon… #
- @Mykx … I can't tell if that was sarcasm.
in reply to Mykx # - @Sulman But… But I do. A department of cool of one. Within a larger department of variable to okay. Oh, you mean THE Department Of Cool. in reply to Sulman #
- @Mykx I don't think she's all THAT jealous, but then sometimes she surprises me. And the rest of those two tweets made me laugh! in reply to Mykx #

- @MissDracula Interesting read – I'd assumed similar. I am trying – perhaps too much – to head this sort of thing off as we prepare for ours. in reply to MissDracula #
- Ha! I think a few of my exchanges with @Bournemouthecho are of the "Well THANKS!" variety. #
- @steevbishop S'just no real reason for it, is there? Creepy freaky. & the discomfort builds throughout the ad. in reply to steevbishop #

Another Way To Breathe: On The Disir
HEAVY SPOILERS FOR JOURNEY INTO MYSTERY 638
I was asked on my Formspring “Was that always the real origin of your Disir, or something that evolved for EXILED?”. To which I responded….
When I created the Disir back in SIEGE: LOKI and NEW MUTANTS 11, I knew the origin I gave wasn’t the…

Peach for godsgirls

“She went to the bathroom, filled the tub, and got undressed. The mirror misted over with condensation, and the smell of pine needles filled the air. She turned off the water, and the apartment suddenly seemed very quiet. Then she heard footsteps, and Simon’s voice through the half-open door. He said, I’ll just go downstairs for the bottle of wine. I thought you’d gone already, said Lara, and she poked her head through the crack, and he kissed her on the lips and tried to barge the door open, but she held it shut. They kissed again. See you soon, said Lara. It was odd, she still felt a little ashamed in front of him.”

This scene is one of my earliest comic memories. It was the first point at which I saw a comic character making a mistake, which meant it was probably the first time I really processed them properly as characters and human.
Spider-man has webbed up a doorway to stop a criminal escaping, but then realises that the criminal is escaping out of the window instead, and in his hurry to catch them he forgets his own webbing.
It seems gloriously ridiculous out of context, but if memory serves it was part of a pretty intense and dramatic story featuring Alex Summers (Havok).
(This was me, by the way.)
