I am not only touched at our relatability, but very happy that you're being acknowledged in a way you deserve. I just bought a copy of "Fun Home" this weekend. Which means I've broken my vow not to buy any more books until I finish reading all my other ones, but I figured it's both literary AND art, so it doesn't count. Or counts twice so it's ok. Or something that else that makes it ok. In any case, I have no regrets, because I'm sure I'll love it! I thought I was the ONLY one who wanted to be an abjective!

Can we develop our own definitions? thanks deb!

I am just a therapist so I don't always understand all the indepth talk about authors or English language.....but hey, put someone who is mentally ill and drug addicted in front of me and BAM!

Apologies.
