Have I yet mentioned the awesomeness that is sibyline?

sibyline caught the ramblings I posted on my brain's "defense mechanism" and was kind enough to share with me a beautiful story fragment she produced. Follow the link and tell her how much you love it (because I know you will). And, oh - read with Kleenex in hand.

Mom's present

Just polling here; tell me if this sounds too not good (love my English there, right?).

I'm pretty sure what I'm going to get my mom for Christmas. The first thing is a basket full of Burts Bees products (she mentioned to me a while back that she loves the baby oil but it's too expensive, and I know she likes their facial stuff). The second is a gift certificate for a consultation with Christopher Brosius for a custom fragrance. His website makes him seem like a bit of a pompous ass, but I know of his work with Alan Cumming... (that damned commercial? omigod! hee)

Gah. Maybe I'll just go with the damned Burts Bees basket. I know I'd love the custom fragrance thing so that's clouding my judgment.
