"I had been swelling like violet beauregarde for ages trying so hard not to write." Jayne, some of us really need these pearls. You might think for a moment that they're shit, but when you put a sentence out there like this one, and it touches someone like a lit match to a fuse - or a pin to a giant inflated blueberry - then your work is done.
