Atherton: Half the men in this room wish you were on their arm, tonight. Inara: Only half. I must be losing my indefinable allure.

Spike's Bitches 24: I'm Very Seldom Naughty.  

[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.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Cashmere, can't you just tell them to 1) open Excel. 2) open the file using the "open" command within the Excel program?

I did email them and told them to try this. I know it can be done because I've opened stuff like this before. *eyeroll*

I just got back from router shopping with my babysitter. Now I've decided I need to go and get DH a wireless router for his laptop. Budget shuffling going on currently.

And do I really want to call my dentist back about scheduling my crown? Do I really want to put down $200?

We just make a costume change part way through. First 50's, then 60s.

I should actually start planning this end of it, huh?

Mostly lurking...

Though if you're not expecting any more grades, etc. and would like a quiet evening to enjoy the good, feel free to send me finalist~ma

Susan, you've got all my ~ma, girl.

Yes, because it's better to put down the $200 in a planned and orderly fashion than having to make emergency crown appointments. Trust me.

~~finalist-ma for Susan.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Go you, Little Miss Tenacious!

That's just amazing, but not, vw, since you worked your ass off for it.

True. But it's not a bad case. I actually have an older, extensive filling that my dentist figures is due for a switch to a crown. So there's no real rush to get this done. And I'm dreading it because it's the next to the last tooth which mean TMJ flair up and hellish time trying to fit and seat the crown. Bleh.

vw, go play "We are the Champions" on your iPod. Damn it, you're good!

Cashmere, call the dentist back, or the crown could become a bridge. (I have a temporary crown in right now, and will get a pretty gold piece soon to replace it.)

Susan, finalist~ma!

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Thanks, vw!

Here's my mantra for the day: I'm still a good writer even if I don't final in this contest, or any other. I know this to be true. People who never final in contests still go on to sell their novels. Luck is always a factor. If K, A, S, or any of my other friends who also entered this contest final and I do not, I will congratulate them graciously and publicly. Tears, chocolate, and bitter reflections on how anyone could not fall in love with my hero and think my story is the most romantic and well-written thing EVAH will be kept private.
