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.

watching it live. Which is very very cool. So even though she couldn't hear me, when BlokeInGownAndCap asked everyone to applaud the graduands, my applause was ringing out in Egypt just as everyone else's was ringing out in Leeds. And five minutes ago her name was read out and she went up to the podium! Except that the picture is v. erratic, and the sound keeps cutting out, so I was all on tenterhooks, going "...they've said Chinese and Modern Languages...no...no, right, Chinese and French...surely Chinese and German should be next? Fucking sudden silence! Stupid not-moving screen, comeoncomeoncomeoncome OHMYGOD IT'S HER! WHOOOOO! GO TEAM WEESISTERJAY! WHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!" with the screaming and the clapping like a lunatic. And then the screen froze with her on it for several seconds, which was excellent. Yay for WeeSister!
She's going to be heading off to Taiwan with her Spanish boyfriend for a year next - think she's doing her masters in Chinese, and she's got a partial scholarship, which is cool. Can't remember what he's doing.
I don't understand about them not being able to hook up the washer, but imagine it doesn't matter until you get the dryer hooked up anyhow.
It's stackable, (and in a tight spot) so plugging in the W/D at this point would likely hinder the gas hookup efforts.
That's what I really liked about your Somerville apartment. It very much felt like a home, not just a place.
Aw, thanks! We're getting there. All the boxes are up on the third floor (more or less) but we're getting used to the place, and all our everyday stuff is unpacked. It's getting there, the feels like home feeling. Lots of time, I think it's too nice to be mine. But we make our mess and that helps with that.

Un-possible!

Heh. I know what you mean. We felt like that a bit when we bought this house, but we've crapped it up sufficiently, since then.

YAYAYAYAYAYAY! Go her.
Ginger, did you lose power at all? NPR informs me that Atlanta lost power b/c of Dennis.
Connie, what kind of surgery does DH have to have?
nodnodnod
I shall tell her that the Buffistas support her in email.
Go WeeSisterJay! So exciting! And so cool that you can watch it.
Yay for Tom and Nora getting to that hominess place.
I need to go fill out the paperwork for MassHealth today, and I'm dreading it. (And Cindy, I did talk to the big boss about health insurance...they just can't do it. She wishes they could, but they can't.) If I don't get going soon, I'm not going to have the time. So, it might happen tomorrow. I am officially without health insurance. It's a scary feeling.
But, in fun stuff...today I'm going to check out a possible hotel for our family reunion. It's a brand new, absolutely beautiful place. I can't wait to get inside and check it all out.

Poop. Oh well, it was worth a shot, no?
Good luck with the MassHealth. I hope it goes smoothly.
Connie, you are having a bizarre week. I hope dh's surgery goes easily and provides him with much relief.
Raquel, I hope your meds kick in quickly, too. I'm very distractable today, and keep thinking I've posted all these things, even though I clearly haven't.
I got my bellydancing DVDs from Fat Chance - a basic instructional one and the Woman Power Workout - and tried them out. Hard. I did about ten minutes of each yesterday and I'm sore today. I might have to work up to the point of being able to take a class.
Ooh, where?
Out by my parents' in Devens. [link]
Oh, Raquel, I forgot to comment to you. I'm so sorry things are difficult right now. I hope that the meds kick in soon and that they'll work for you. Many hugs.
Good luck with the MassHealth. I hope it goes smoothly.
Thanks. I'm not holding my breath, which is why I'm dreading it. But, it'll work out eventually. I'm sure of it. It has to.
