One of the themes of my stories is the childless mother. It could be lost child, like Dragon's Surrogate or Faerie Trap, or just that hunger to have a child. I know this reflects my own fears. My brother decided to have a child last year and this year he found out he was 100% sterile. My other brother suffered through something very close, but they used fertility drugs to have their child. According to the doctors, I have a good chance I will never be able to have a child of my own at the time when Fluffy's biological clock is going into overdrive and she struggling with her own fertility issues.

I wrote stories about the childless mother long before I found out about my generation's fertility. It was just one of those things that came up, then ended up being terrifying real.

This picture reminded me of Faerie Trap and those fears. Not from the horror image, but that child who really isn't there but you see it in the mirror. It is, in some ways, a image of my own personal fears when it comes to children.

(Bah, the image got corrupted.)

Well, I hope you can have a child if you wish to.

Good luck having a child t'Sade!  In the meantime, you can have my 23 year old.  Maybe you can raise her better than I did

I know people who lost a child and saw them around. It has to do with sadness, but guilt as well. Sadness, because of the loss, guilt because they could not bring their child into this world. My mother to this day wonders what life would be like if my older brother (Who would be a middle child) had lived.

I hope that you and fluffy have a child, and that it is healthy and strong.

give her to me. I'll knock some sense into her.

Completely unrelated: Fluffy's 20 pound sledge is named Steve.

Interesting it's a male name - or is it? 

[t'Sade]

Yeah, most of the metal hammers are named after men, the wooden ones are female. The 40 pound mallet is Shelia. She just loves hammers.

I would find that strange, had I not have a dagger by the name Mr. McStabbyface.

Interestingly, given the fact I anthropomorphize almost everything, I don't name anything. Fluffy even names her breasts (Chestnut and Hazel) and names my body parts, but I really don't name anything. One of those quirky things I never understood in myself.

I had a buddy who bought a little .25 ACP pistol for his girlfriend. She named it "Sweet Georgia Browning".

I occasionally used to refer to my .45 ACP as "Nothung". I reckon you've gotta like Wagner to understand that one. I no longer have that pistol, since I shoot much better with a single-action. I call my .45 Colt "Mjöllnir", Thor's hammer.

Hey - you've got one, too!

I'm afraid to ask. I am REALLY afraid to ask, but what body parts, and what names?

She named my tongue "Slurpy" because I use it as a weapon. When we wrestle, she has a tendency to kick and I have a tendency to lick anything I can reach. Which includes the face (which she hates). I also "win" wrestling with the dog that way, since he really, really doesn't like it when I lick him back on the nose.

As for the other parts, well, that would give away too much.

It may be the garlic...

You know, there's zombie dogs in all kinds of movies, but I've never seen a vampire dog anywhere - so you might just be overly precautious...

On the other hand, the dog's aversion to garlic breath might also be a token of his being of strange and uncanny descent. Good to read, anyway, that you lick his other parts as well - people will appreciate that in you. Don't tell Fluffy, though...

Blade III: Trinity. They made a Pomeranian and two Dobermans into vampire dogs. Kind of cute, actually, I was actually sad when they died. But, then again, I would feel bad when evil little puppies died.

Actually, there is a running joke with my friends. I've threatened to write them into bestiality stories and they act like I'm the "creepy aunt/uncle" when I'm rubbing their pet's bellies. I'm not going to write the stories and they know I'm not going to abuse their animals, but they know me too well to know that I'm not disgusted by the idea either.

Oh well, I like being strange.
