Perkins! You were in my dream last night. In a weird confluence of online communities, you and a blogger friend of mine were hanging out in Memphis with Emmett. It was very strange.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
vw, I'm so glad you made it in, and am looking forward to you getting your iPod.
Yesterday I wrote 7 pages in about an hour and a half. Last week I only wrote 6 pages. Hopefully I've gotten through the sluggish story-beginning process and the writer's block I get from being freaked out by the big parts of my story and am getting some momentum going.
Bridezilla problems have been solved for now. Bride wouldn't bend on the pricing issue, but our choir director/sound system guru is going to do it himself for the lower price. The man is a SAINT.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
"The Buddha Contemplating Infinity"
That sounds awesome. I bet the pizza was good, too.
The Buddha orders a pizza: "Make me one with everything."

Mostly lurking...
Oh, Susan, that's awfully nice of him! Glad it worked out.
My project, part 2, is done. I'm off to grab some lunch before class.
See you all when I get home.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I just realized I skipped breakfast this morning. That would explain why I'm so hungry. I wonder if there are any bagels left upstairs.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
Oh, I totally meant to have a bagel for breakfast this morning and then I forgot! Curses. (I did have cereal instead, and it was fine, but a bagel would have been BETTER.)
And from a ways back, about the water filters/purifiers: meara, it probably isn't going to be worth it to you to bring a water filter. I mean, filters are better from an environmental perspective, because then you're not wasting all that plastic with the bottled water, but they are kind of expensive; I think mine is on the cheap/low end, and IIRC it was around $50. It would be a useful thing to have, but it would take up space in your bag, and I'm sure you can get by just fine with bottled water. Anyway, looks like flea and Fay (for Egypt) and John and Thuy (for Vietnam) are your best references.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Glad the bridezilla thing worked out, Susan. And yay for Aimee's awesome trainer!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
if a strange, good looking guy comes to the Krav Center asking for you, remember who loved you enough to send him
If he's single too, I may have to build a shrine to you.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
good for you VW!
good for you susan!
I am wondering when I am going to be well. and more like me. I miss my bed ( I am sleeping in our big cair because I can sleep upright) I miss my husband - he is not himself. but most of all I miss me. I am way cranky and have no ambition to do anything.
