Happy birthday Eddie!

Dept. of Random:

Emmett just assembled his Going To Children's Fairyland outfit: Little League shirt over the vest from his wedding tux; jeans; black bandanna on his head, topped with a furry top hat given to him by his godsister on Mardi Gras. There may possibly be a piratical eyepatch added later on.

As he was putting it together, he sang the following song, inspired by a BTVS-themed fake driver's license for Spike that Cindy sent him long ago and which is one of his greatest treasures:

Everybody's ni-ice to-oo Mister Spi-ike
Everybody likes me 'cause I'm Mister Spi-ike
Everybody's happy liking Mister 'Spi-ike

That's a lovely snapshot, JZ.

Emily's friend and Nora's friend should hang out together. I'm sure they'd find plenty to talk about in their wrongheadedness.

---

This dress should not look good. But it does. Freaky.

---

Emmett is just so... neat.

Hey, it's Emily! I just talked to you on the phone and now you're here! Spooky.

---

I think that dress would look wonderful on you, Emily.

t whirls into thread

I admit I skipped a little over 500 messages.

Most nights when I get home (cause yay, been working!) and threadsuck the day's messages, I get done reading them just in time for me to go to bed. So I figure I can either read everything or I can skippy skim and participate, not both.

It was pretty awful.

((Nora)) I am so sorry that you had to go through that. Being crazy in love, happily married and buying a house should make your friends happy for you. Even if they don't have these things, and want them, for themselves right now. Certainly no reason to berate you in the street. Go you on your oh so righteous anger.

Hee. I did come across a spellchecker once that wanted to change my name to "Wailing Haitians".

I worked for a woman named Cyndi. It wanted to change it to cyanide. Word = smrt.

I think what I am going to do, though, is go see him during office hours tomorrow with a list of what I'm missing (and new copies in case he's lost them). Hopefully, he'll be able to take a look at them and get them back to me by the end of the week or so...

Good luck, vw!

To me Bitches is far more personal and uncensored than Natter. I will talk about things in Bitches that I wouldn't be as comfortable talking about in Natter. Also, the more graphic language.

Natter is Natter, and Bitches is Bitches. Definitely. Yes. That.

Or, you know, what Cindy said.

Fortunately, I'm the one going to be a teacher. Mwahahaha.

This is a Good and Right thing, Emily.

Happy Birthday Eddie.

I went to church today and almost didn't survive the Letah Cuteness Bomb that was the elementery age choir signing "The Butterfly Song".

For those of you who don't know this song the lyrics (in part) are:

If I were a butterfly, I’d thank you Lord for giving me wings
If I were a robin in a tree, I’d thank you Lord that I could sing
If I were a fish in the sea, I’d wiggle my tail and I’d giggle with glee
But I just thank you father for making me, me

For you gave me a heart and you gave me a smile
You gave me Jesus and you made me your child
And I just thank you Father for making me, me

Other animals listed are: octopus, fuzzy wuzzy bear, wiggly worm, elephant, kangaroo, and crocodile. There are hand motions and various things as well.

It was extremely cute and sweet and there was one little boy who was totally hamming it up.

---

Well, it's a wee bit small and long for me, and I don't have eight hundred dollars for it. But it is nice!

So. Sweet.

Great dress. I don't know why either, but it is lovely.

Puppycat is curled next to me and bathing. She's rather cute. And wiggly.

eta: A friend wants to go to the Carlsbad Street Fair today. Am I rotten for waiting for her to call me first so I can finish my laundry, watch a movie and chat online?
