Someday, when my family is gathered at my memorial service, they’ll wonder what my last words meant. But a few attendees will know. And they’ll understand why it’s my epitaph. Right there, on the plaque under my name:
“A drabble is exactly 100 words. That’s the point.”
No offense but I took my love I took it down. Climbed a mountain and I, turned around. And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills til the landslide brought it down. Oh mirror in the sky what is love? Can the child within my heart rise above? Can I sal through the changin ocean tides? Can I handle the seasons of my life?? well I’ve been afraid of changing cause I’ve built my life around u. But time makes u bolder, even children get older, and I’m getting older too. Well I’ve been afraid of changing cause I’ve. Built my life around u. But time makes you bolder even children get older, and I’m getting older too. Oh I’m getting older too. I took my love I took it down. I climbed a mountain and I turned around. And if u see my reflection in the snow covered hills well the landslide will bring it down. And if u see my reflection in the snow covered hills well the landslide will bring it down…. oh the landslide will bring it down
Even after her death Carrie Fisher is having none of your bullshit.
Heather Ross, a friend of Fisher’s, spoke to a local radio station in Tucson, AZ. about her experience with sexual assault in Hollywood. On the 94.9 Morning Mix, Ross recalled inappropriate advances from a big name producer and how Fisher made clear she had a zero-tolerance policy for that kind of behavior.
After Ross was assaulted by “an Oscar-winning producer” – not Weinstein, but another – Fisher was furious. After the initial shock and fear wore off, Fisher ran into the producer at Sony and delivered him a package.
“It was a cow tongue from Jerry’s Famous Deli with a note that said, ‘If you ever touch my darling Heather or any other woman again, the next delivery will be something of yours in a much smaller box.’”
The cow tongue was all Fisher’s idea, natch, and she made sure to deliver it in person and watch him open the box.
“That’s just how she was,” Ross said. “I miss her dearly. She stood up for people.”
“That’s who Carrie Fisher was,” she added. “She put things out there and in your face.”
I think we should make Puritan naming customs cool again, but like, updated to reflect Millenial values. So we can have names like Resistance Jones, Self-Care Williams, and I-Am-Not-Throwing-Away-My-Shot Anderson.
