I laughed out loud. That is totally awesome. Totally totally awesome. Can I write it up as a story?

Please?

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

Absolutely!!! I'd love for that to happen.

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

I hope you share if you do. :D

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

I actually started it yesterday! I will share it on LJ when I finish. I hope desperance writes up and shares one, too.

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

Hooray! SO glad you ran with it. :D

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

Or you can write it up! I'll definitely defer to you :-)

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

No, no, I'm dry. Go with it!!

[marycatelli]

You could no doubt both write it up and your stories would not resemble each other's at all. . . .

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

That is the great thing about storytelling.

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

True fact. It would be fun to have a collection on the theme.

[buymeaclue.livejournal.com]

I'd hire her.

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

lol--I know, I could use a good teenage assassin more times than I'd care to admit.

[littlemoremasks.livejournal.com]

EPIC WIN

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

lol--epic myopia

[desperance.livejournal.com]

Nah, you read it right the first time. She's totally up for a little assassin-work. Show me the teenage girl who isn't.

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

You know, you're right. I certainly was at that age.

[desperance.livejournal.com]

Hee. "And tell me, Ms Killer - how did you get your start in this profession?"

"Autocorrect! I typed "Assistant", I swear I did, and it got autocorrected to assassin, and I didn't notice and published it anyway, and - well, things got away from me a bit. I was just a kid, you know? But I had the instinct, so..."

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

lol--now THERE is a YA I would read.

[desperance.livejournal.com]

Me too. Also, I could totally write it. (Oh, look: another project! All it needs now is a title...)

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

Everyone needs a new project! Go!

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

Doooo it! Then share it on LJ. (Or hey, try for publication. But I'm just going to share it on LJ)

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

WIN

[desperance.livejournal.com]

*grin*

[asakiyume.livejournal.com]

When she's not petting kittens and minding small children :D

(sorry, I know this feels like a delayed reaction--I was just showing my youngest this whole entry and your comment thread)

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

Everyone start writing!

[desperance.livejournal.com]

Not much delayed, and very a propos: all these things fit entirely into my notion of teenage girlhood. (And did she giggle, or did she sharpen a blade and look darkly? How worried should I be...?)

[stillnotbored.livejournal.com]

The world needs more teenage girl assassins. I think you read it just right.

Really. I wouldn't lie to you.

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

Oh, I know you never would. :-D

[frigg.livejournal.com]

Bwhahahaha

I am sure there's a good story in there somewhere. What a perfect novel opening!

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

It seems to have sparked the imaginations of many. :-)

[mnfaure.livejournal.com]

lol. Definitely story fodder as pointed out by others.

I thought of you on our trip when I misread a sign as: We sex books.

Er. In reality it said: We sell boxes.

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

lol -- good one!

[geniusofevil.livejournal.com]

but if you were an assassin, brilliant strategy!

[pjthompson.livejournal.com]

Indeed.
