Well, you know me and freaks - remember my novel we workshopped with Jessie and "The Thing?" I ended up with a bad agent trying to shop it about 5 years ago, and yeah, he basically killed it. At least it has life as a short story published in Glimmer Train. Like you, I feel like I'm "passing," and moved to nyc to be with the freaks and crazies like me, the ones who look normal and the ones who don't. I'd go watch the Halloween Parade and the Mermaid Parade to cheer on my more extroverted brothers and sisters and to feel part of a tribe.

Oh “the thing”! Yes! I’m glad it still found something of a life. I knew you’d chime in about freaks, near and dear :)

The "Freakshow" season of AHS might have been their worst season. We've watched them all.

I can’t decide what’s the worst. It can be really painful but I too couldn’t stop

Same! Now that I think about it, something with aliens was pretty bad, maybe around season 4?

I must have blocked that out! I don't remember aliens

Apparently, they showed up in season 2 (Asylum). I actually didn't think that season was so bad, though (it got so much worse!).
