Things I find out from reading Bookslut:
Hugh Laurie wrote a novel. I did not know that (and now I am compelled to go hunt it down). [As a tangentially related note, I forgot that "House" wasn't on last night and so ended up deleting a "Fullmetal Alchemist" episode I probably shouldn't have removed yet from the DVR to make room to record an hour of @#$% baseball instead. Grump.]
Anyway, the "story" part:
Every man alive has a Caro still rattling around his fading skull -- those wild, winsome and deeply dangerous girls that you can’t possibly live with and would drive over your grandmother to see just one more time.
Is that true? Do you have someone like that? (It's phrased the way it is because it refers to a specific character, but my question isn't limited to specifically men and their old flames.) If you don't want to 'fess up entirely publicly, anonymous posting has always been turned on, and I'll even turn off the associated IP logging for this post.
