You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

WOOHOO!!!! It's quittin' time. Now I go BBQ, drink, lay on the beach, eat at fancy restaurants, sip cocktails by the firepit, and be TOTALLY LAZY for 3 whole days! Have a lovely weekend, y'all.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Also, a guy asked me out, and it's been way too long since that's happened, and this is a guy I actually like, and I had to say no. Feh.

Sounds like fun.

If I only had a brain...

Yeah, I checked the rules and I am definitely not Goth enough. Basically, it's like somebody offering cheap corsets to Bitches, except that said person would be soooooo overwhelmed.

I'm sorry, Betsy. If it makes you feel any better, there are some people in that community that I don't think are Goth enough to be there, but I was outvoted.

What is even happening?

Also, a guy asked me out, and it's been way too long since that's happened, and this is a guy I actually like, and I had to say no. Feh.

Oh, no. Can you turn that "no" into, "I'd really like to after..." [ whatever it was that got in the way--health, school, etc.]?

Yeah, I did. But I really don't think I'll be able to do anything this week, and then for the next two and a half weeks, one or the other of us is going to be out of town pretty much every day. So this turned into a "I'd love to...um, maybe in June?"

Mostly lurking...

Oh, Hil! I'm so sorry you're still so sick and having to deal with this end-of-the-semester stuff at the same time. How tough!

And I'm sorry about the off timing with the guy. Hopefully you'll be able to connect later.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Arse. Stupid date-jinxing universe!

It's fine, Jilli; I can't honestly describe myself as a Goth, just an admirer.

He can arch one eyebrow!

Wow, at his tender age? That's DAMN impressive! (I'm quite glad I can raise either one, it makes me happy)

I feel like I haven't gotten enough sleep in *months*

I hear you. Last night I went to bed at about 11PM...and at 7:45AM, my alarm went off, and it took 15 minutes for me to even recognize what the hell the sound meant.

Finding out that the reason your train was running sooper late was because a detonator was found in one of the train stations.

Eek. That's not good.

VUCA! VUCA! VUCA!

The baby is gorgeous, but I did not realize you are also gorgeous.

Raquel is supergorgeous, it's quite true. Sniff. Sadly, she is no longer a DCista. BOO!

Chocolate Huffpuffs are actually just rice crispie cakes

Sounds good--but no marshmallows in your choco-crispie things?

Apparently we will get time-and-a-half after all.

Oh YAY! That's awesome. Here's to racking up the money?

Her clothing company is trying to clear out some of their fabric stash, so they're offering custom-fitted underbust corsets for $50.

DUUUUDE! Where??? (Hmm. Gother-than-thou? Or, than...anyone? I think not)
