Music 'Fess Up!

Everyone has that song they'd never admit they loved. But I'm admitting right now I love "Go the Distance" from Disney's Hercules, because it reminds me of Boy Child's hard work every day as a person with autism.

Who else has got one? No mocking anyone else's. This isn't a "safe place", or touchy-feely crap like that--it's a place where I'll smack you in the head if you dis someone else's sentiment.


I have often dreamed
Of a far-off place
Where a great warm welcome
Will be waiting for me
Where the crowds will cheer
When they see my face
And a voice keep saying
This is where I'm meant to be

I will find my way
I can go the distance
I'll be there someday
If I can be strong
I know ev'ry mile
Will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere to feel like I belong

I am on my way
I can go the distance
I don't care how far
Somehow I'll be strong
I know ev'ry mile
Will be worth my while
I would go most anywhere to feel like I belong

Friends of Lulu: Bag! Cat! Out!

That art I've been teasing y'all with? It's for the Friends of Lulu's Lulu Awards, which'll be given out next week, Thursday night of Comic-Con. I'll be giving someone my best congratulations smile as I pass along Lulu of the Year. (Hopefully to Shaenon Garrity. GO SHAENON!)

Here's the finished front/back. I'm so glad Katie Merrit took me up on volunteering for the job! (And to Dave Roman and Katie for sending me text.)

MMMmmm, Essence of Bittermint!
