I'm sure by the time he's 22 or so, you'll have managed to remember his name occasionally, or at least given him a really interesting complex.
I'm sure the complex will be one of many. (When this generation of kids grows up, there will be a whole new trauma: the "my parent(s) blogged about my entire life" trauma. The earthling will probably be in group for that from the time he's 8.)
but if I don't enjoy it, I'm suing.
Understood. But can we rephrase that to, "If I don't think it's amazing, I'm suing"?
this makes me wary of the HL story, as I spent a summer shovel-bumming on an Indian mound dig, (mostly hot, dirty and tedious) but I believe in you enough to give the story a try.
I have done my time grimly brushing away sand from itsy bitsy pot shards. And, well. I'm not saying the beginning of this story won't hurt. I'm just saying - sometimes the pain is worth it, you know? Especially if you like long, plotty stories. Or Methos. (And if you don't like Methos, oh my god WHY NOT?)
I keep stumbling across these triggers
I have so, so many of them, starting with "Science doesn't WORK THAT WAY" (and this particular trigger is nailed by, oh, basically every SF movie and TV show ever, plus many others) and moving through "Medicine doesn't WORK THAT WAY" and of course the ever popular "Oh my god will someone FILE A COMPLAINT on this therapist? S/He SHOULD NOT BE PRACTICING." And now I have acquired a management trigger, too, thanks to Best Beloved. And so on. It's very sad. *woeface*
