happy voting fellow americans!

I am:

a) wearing a fitted t-shirt I got in Switzerland 14 years ago. It still has its shape and the colors aren't even remotely washed out, thus I believe the Swiss are MAGICAL.

b) thisclose to finishing the Mary Beth and Sam sequel to the Lissa and Kit sequel to Found Days, featuring Digger Iero and Anthony Way, as well as Mary Beth's twin, Eddie! I AM WRITING AGAIN! SLOWLY BUT SURELY! Even though it's basically band kids!

Digger Iero is a little punk ass and Sam likes him a lot. They talk about their drums and his uncle Bob and Sam very carefully doesn’t say how much she hates Anthony now, because they’re family, and Sam knows how that goes.

Sam takes a swig of her beer and points a finger at Digger. “Your girls scare me,” she says.

Digger giggles.

They’re wedged into the back of the Five Days van with four six packs of the most foul beer they could find, because Sam thinks it’s Natty Light and Digger thinks it’s Red Dog and Sam and Digger are both kind of stubborn. Sam is so sure she’s gonna throw up before the night is done. Digger might have a point about the Red Dog.

Digger giggles some more, and then the door of the van slides open and Darby sticks her head in with her scary bright blue fauxhawk and kohl-rimmed eyes and Sam tries to make herself as small as possible, which isn’t very small at all, considering Sam’s a giant freak of nature.

“You,” Darby says to Sam, “tonight,” and then she disappears again and Sam can feel her eyes get huge because tonight what?

“Oh my god. Oh my god, she’s gonna cook and eat me,” Sam says, horrified, and Digger buries his head in his hands and laughs.
