I need to tweak a joke. You have it in you, I feel it. I BELIEVE IN YOU.

In this chapter (of Oh My Heck! I'm gonna try. Again. Sigh) I'm talking about how when the guys would go away on missions for two years, we girls were encouraged to sit in cold storage and wait for them, right? So all we did was can fruit and quilt things, and I'm trying to equate it to a [__something something__] trousseau. Like a bizarre fruity trousseau.

And that's not right.

*chin fists* Suggestions? Also, good god, it is no wonder I'm broken inside. But damn, do I have a sweet apocalypse pantry of peaches. In your face, undead!

strawberry wedding-ring jam trousseau?

Was trying to put together a canned fruit with a quit style but the only quit patterns I can think of are log cabin and wedding ring. Surely there's a funnier one?

Oooh, quilt patterns, I failed to think in that direction! Bad Mormon! Oh, right, I'm not. :D

Dried Cherry Trousseau
Cherry Pit Trousseau
Sweet and Sour Cherry Trousseau

All I can think is it sounds like a 'redneck trousseau' or an 'Amish trousseau'.

Squee for you working on Oh My Heck again! :D

"We were stocking our apocolypse pantries with home-canned peaches and wedding-ring quilts. It's like a hope chest full of toilet paper and dried meat. Nothing says 'I can't wait to be married' like a wind-up flashlight!"

Or something. Yay!

Instead of having lace doilies and linens in a hope chest, we made apocalypse pantries.

APOCALYPSE PANTRIES.

I THOUGHT YOU MIGHT LIKE IT.

It almost makes up for all the pins which say "IF WOMEN WOULD SIT DOWN AND BE LADIES MAYBE MEN WOULD STAND UP AND BE GENTLEMEN"- all pinned by WOMEN.

Oh, L. WTF.

please tell me that you knew the Mormons were mostly responsible for ERA not passing.

PLEASE TELL ME.

...and if not, then I'd love your thoughts on my chapter on women in the church. :)

Honestly? I don't know a damn thing about Mormons, Mormonism, Mormon politics, or anything remotely related.

I mean, I knew Mormons EXISTED, and I knew they didn't believe the same stuff I did, obvs, bc they were Christian. And then I went to Grad School with a couple folks who were Mormon, and they kept telling me how they loved me and shit and that freaked me out enough not to get to know them better. (Also the bit about the Native Americans being the Lost Tribe of Israel, cause uhm, we never lost a tribe?)

But most things I know about Mormon/ism I learned from you, so.

I'll look at anything you want me to look at, you should know that by now!

Yeah, Prop 8 was successful because the machine had it down already.

And COOL. I'd like to take you up on that, then. I'm still in polishing/refining stages right now, tho.

He is the straight actor that plays the gay boyfriend to the gay kid on Glee, and he is delicious and lovely (and I think bi.)

I'm a dork, but you've known this for some time. ;)

Mormons and other evangelicals are seriously overrepresented on pinterest.

Yeah, I dunno what's up with that.

What's your name over there so I can follow you?

You could always just adapt a little of the funny stuff you mention here..."Our pure and delightsome hearts were demonstrated by our freakish trousseau of enough canned fruit and quilts to either outfit a Carmen Miranda drag queen for life, or sustain a small family through a zombie uprising."

Also, You must go find the YouTube video someone made of Darren Cris's kisses on film. (This was made before the haaaaaaaaaaawt Kurt kiss, btw.) That boy has some talented lips. If they made a show called "Cris's Kisses" and just showed him making out with random people, I'd totally DVR it.

HAHAHAHA, that's a great re-working there!!

Oh, I have that on my desktop because THE BOY CAN KISS. I would totally watch that show and push my agent to get me on it. :) I just... hands on faces and his jawline and GOOD LORD.

I just feel that no one should waste the opportunity to use the word "delightsome."

As in, "To kiss Darren Cris would certainly be delightsome!"
