She doesn’t know who owned the jacket originally. Nobody claimed it after a party, and she figured it looked good on her.
It says KISS, and she does not like to kiss. People, men, and women, have told her she is beautiful, and she has no idea what they mean. When she looks in the mirror she does not see beauty looking back at her. Only her face.
She does not read, watch...

The builders put in the bath on a friday afternoon. Zoe doesn’t mew. She does a sort of a “mwelp?” noise, as if...
Kaye wants to talk to you all.
And so I am.
Look. I had an enormous, frothing, furious post written up because first of all, people are stupid, and second of all, people are being stupid at one of my favorite authors for stupid reasons. This post was going to go in my personal Livejournal, which is friends-locked, and have done with it.
However, I received a lovely little comment in my formspring (not the ask/submissions for...

The strangest part of being so well known is definitely getting a New Yorker profile. It’s a wonderful, strange process, like seeing yourself through a distorting mirror. Well, that and having total strangers ask you how your cats are.

@amandapalmer: for formal occasions, i will be “Mr.s Amanda Fucking Gaiman Palmer”. which works on many levels.
So is Amanda Palmer now going to be Amanda Gaiman?
mimisaurus:
WTF IS THIS.
I mean, Amanda Palmer sounds a lot better. Maybe it’ll be Amanda Palmer-Gaiman? Yeah, that sounds about right.
