I'm excited for the new book, too! Been dying to find out what happens. Poor Kahlan. I don't know when it comes out, I just always check when I walk into a bookstore.

Shameful self promotion alert.

The following Kaylee story is pretty angsty. Kaylee and Simon are a couple in this story. It's the darkest, most emotional story that I've ever tackled..

If you're into dark fics, you should click on my name and check out the story 'TheQuestion'. There are five parts, sort of a tag team story. It's pretty dark and angsty. It's about Kaylee and well...she's gotta answer a question *evil grin*

I totally noticed that yesterday! Squeeeeeeee! I'm so excited. It's been awhile since the last one. I really didn't think this one was coming out until October, but I got an email from Barnes and Noble that you could order it.

Poor Kahlan *pets her*

Ohh, good topic! Ya know....I think Firefly got me into angst! I always disliked it, didn't like angsty songs or movies, etc.

Fast-forward to after watching Firefly, when I started writing fanfic. What came out? Angst and violence, from yours truly....the fluff girl! I thought it was just a phase, but the story just gets angstier as I perfect my craft, and all of a sudden I'm finding those are the stories I most like to read.

Am I now a sick and twisted person????? Grr. Got to looking at The Losing Side (my fic), what I've written so far and what's in store for the future, and got a little worried about myself. It's not dark for dark's sake, there's story and humanity and healing at the heart of it......but dang, am I really the one writing this?!

And why do I find myself enjoying all these darker stories? I couldn't even listen to sad songs, or watch the torture scenes in The Princess Bride!

My life has been so riddled with angst that I just thought it was normal for everyone growing up. I simply cannot relate to fluffy. I always listened to songs of heartbreak and aingst at 5 when my parents split. Songs like "I'll be watching you", "Endless Summer Nights", "Against All Odds", "Hard For Me to Say I'm Sorry", and "Look Away" I can remember listening to when most kids my age probably didn't know what half the words meant. I'm not really sure if listening to those songs and feeling it in your gut at 5 or getting the scared out of you by watching "The Twilight Zone" or "The Thing" at 5 years old is worse for the psyche. I am sure that it's all pretty desensitizing by the time you reach 27. (Next month yay)

From personal experience, for anybody who doesn't like their children and is looking to do some permanant damage, I recommend emotional and mental abuse anyday over physical abuse. Really get into their head and pour in all of your own nerousis. Bruises heal but the psyche never quite does. I love the kids I'll never have so much that I won't have them in order to end that viscious cycle. I know both of my parents went through it or else they wouldn't have inflicted that upon their own children. I would have liked to have kids I think, and chanece are, the good would outweight the bad, but I never had real parents for role models and I wouldn't have a clue where to start. I don't hate my parents. I actually have more love for them than most might have for their parents. Having lived through all the suffering brings me a much deeper understanding of what it feels like to be up to your eyeballs in angst and depression and hate and I just feel sorry for both of them that they had to go through that themselves. One of them, to this day, will never stop putting themselves through the angst grinder because they get off on the angst... and for that, I am truly full of pity. There is no hate left in me now. If I have one lesson to learn from them it is that if you hold on to your hate then it will consume you one day.

Embrace your angst.... It means you are human. If you never felt angst, you could never appreciate just how good love feels. Just don't stew in that angst too long and let it fester. Try to balance it out with some fluffy. It's all about yin and yang boys and girls. Too much angst and you find that it becomes your natural state of being and trying to feel anything other than angst becomes laborious. Especially if you refuse to take any prescription drugs that the alliance wants to get us all hopped up on. (see: Pax)

I hope that one day maybe I'll find me a Kaylee of my own who will change my mind about all that and SHOW ME THE FLUFFY!
