Just letting you know, in case someone ever says, snottily, "Some ass in LA claims to know you. Her name is Allyson. Like someone like you would actually like, TALK to someone like her."

Oh please. You're totally on my list of "People to import and keep forever and ever."

Speaking of, can you email me your addie? I absentmindedly tossed the box the jacket came in without writing it down!

Yes'm.

She's cute, funny, and talented. Also, she's on the short side. If you're going to kidnap her when you're in L.A., she may well fit in carry on.

The Firefly essay was wonderful, and I want someone to buy the damn book already so that I can give it to people as a gift.

Plei, it makes me deliriously happy to read that.

As soon as the book is published, I'm planning on giving my dad a copy. He'd really like it.

Sure! I'll leave behind some petticoats to fit her in my luggage. I can always get one of the L.A.istas to mail the petticoats to me ...

Not if you're taking our Allyson.

But but but! I have to take her to Goth Night, so the pet DJ can flirt with her and possibly make with the smoochies!

Well then, in that case, you can borrow Allyson. But, post-smoochies, you need to put her back where you found her.

(psssst)

ita, you have email. Your avatar is about to take centre stage in London Calling, and I need information. Stuck without it.

I don't have anything in my inbox, deb -- searching the spam filter now. [eta: just showed up -- will read asap]

Heh--Kristen, I'm reading that blog post right now too.

ita, I laughed and laughed when I got to that. Then I thought, "New tagline!"
