LJ Idol Presents:

Well, I don't know how much the 'twist' really helped, but if it rendered any assistance, then I was glad to do it. (Maybe it's time I made a general announcement over here, as well ... I keep holding off on that.)

And if there's a bright side here at all, it's that this elimination booted the last two people against whom I'd have felt badly competing. Which means I'm not going to pull any more literary punches ... and I'm either coming back with my shield, or on it.
