Happy Birthday, Plei!
My dad is probably out having lunch (hopefully with my brother & fam) so I'll wait a couple of hours before I try to call. In the meantime I should try to figure out what to wear to opening tonight.
Mal: So we run. Nandi: I understand, Captain Reynolds. You have your people to think of, same as me. And this ain't your fight. Mal: Don't believe you do understand, Nandi. I said 'we run'. We.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Emmett made me a Father's Day card in his last week at school. It's made out of black construction paper and looks like a tuxedo jacket (with the shirt and bowtie on a separate xeroxed sheet inside). I'm sure the teacher directed them all making the same kind of card.
Inside it says (in a neat cursive script):
Dear Dad, Thank you for being helpful with my homework and playing baseball with me. I like it when you read to me at night and when I beg you sometimes read me more. I like it when you sing to me in the hallway and in the rocking chair. Thank you for being my dad! Sincerely, Emmett.
Best Father's Day Card evah!

Because books.
Thank you for being my dad! Sincerely, Emmett.
The "sincerely" is what makes it. Adorable! Emmett sounds like such a good kid.

Heh. It's funny because he doesn't have any problem telling me he loves me. But when he's really feeling loving he'll pull my arm around him like he's wrapped inside my wing, and he'll say (in a very doofy voice from Ed, on Edd, Ed and Eddy), "You are my Dad."

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Plei!
Took G's dad and stepmom out for brunch, then went househunting.Found a strong contender. It's a townhouse with 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms and a nifty layout. It's towards the top of what we can afford, but we'll see what happens when we put a bid in.

Hee. I hate that show, but still, hee! Ben has been grooving on The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy and Danny Phantom lately. He's still a snuggler, which I love.
Happy Father's Day, Hec, and all you other Buffista dads!

Evie says, "MY mommy" or "MY daddy," often with hugs or pats. Some of our father's day fun can be seen here [link]
Happy birthday to Plei and beathen and Happy Father's day to Hec and Gud and Hayden and Jim - am I forgetting someone? It seems like our Buffista men tend to be bachelors...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I was very funny today. Something to do with the pink shirt and the puppydog eyes, and the bloody nose and the swelling cheekbone and the "No! You have to let me go back in!" seems to amuse.
Despite the inchoate black eye, I feel so much better about the sucky test a few weeks back. It still was a sucky test, but the suckiest parts (and the medication) feel very behind me. I fought well today, and I put the fear of me into most of the class. And then I got sat down because I hadn't been using enough of the fear of them to keep me from catching a right hook and a sharp elbow.
It's not like they hurt. Some instructors are such party poopers.
