All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

43% Yankee. But if I go with how my family says things, I come up with 60% Dixie.

Until I took Voice and Diction in college I didn't differentiate between pin and pen, or tin and ten. I probably learned some other stuff too.

Are you ready to be strong?

52% Dixie, which is, like, crazy.

Nope. It's a monday. I hope you can make it.

I'm on deadline Monday & Tuesday; are those the only days you're in town?

Rio, Lee arrives Sunday evening and leaves sometime Tuesday. We might be able to meet you somewhere Sunday night if neither of you are too tired.

Yeah, Sunday's the only time I could do it. Should we take this discush to the F2F thread?

That's a very pretty ring, Rio. Congratulations.

So today I went to Jersey to bowl with a bunch of lawyers, lesbians and wiccans. And some were all three!

I just wanted to type that. It sounds like a start to a joke or something. It was a surprise party for a good friend and both myself and her best friend who she's known since elementary were able to make it, despite being out of towners. It was fun. I broke a nail, and my highest score was 62 and that was halfway through the last game. Previously, I bowled, um 34. I'm so good. Thankfully I was sharing the lane with all the other sucky bowlers. Who also all broke nails. And someone bowled 0!

It was fun. And my friend was really really surprised. She kept running around hugging people and bouncing.

Also? I found Death!Peeps! They are this brilliant shade of red. Kinda freaky. They were a big hit.

Art Crawl!!!

RIO!!! What a beautiful and romantic story! And man - - isn't THAT a ring!!

Also, caught sounds like ought and cot sounds like got. I pronounce Aunt sometimes like ant and sometimes like caught. What does THAT mean?

Okay, I took the test and came up 66% southern. They say that's a definitive Dixie score.

Weird.

I get 70. That's coke, bag and y'all for you.

Side effect to driving 250 miles in one day? I'm jittery. And exhausted. So I had cheese and crackers for dinner. Anyone want the oreos?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Am I allowed to pack up the cats, Lorne, my laptop, and a few other odds and ends and just leave everything else here?

That really does seem like the best solution.
