Happy Birthday JZ!
Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Ann, that's a ferret.
What is the tri-state area for SF?
I don't know which ones exactly, but I'd assume they're states of mind and not political entities.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm thinking she meant my tri-state area.
Thanks, JZ!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Now, deserved or not, this generation is being pegged, too--as one with shockingly high expectations for salary, job flexibility and duties but little willingness to take on grunt work or remain loyal to a company.
You can't blame us, though -- we went to high-school/college during the Clinton years. There was supposed to be a booming economy full of high-paying internet jobs waiting for us when we got out! Our expectations seemed reasonable at the time!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I meant Jesse's tri-state area. I have one Back East guy, whom I actually would've set up with any number of Somervillains or NYCistas if I'd had the chance, who tragically went and met The One last year. They met at an audition, she proposed to him with a spoon (some long story about a quaint country tradition of her ancestresses which I can't now recall), he responded with a mighty "SPOOOOOON!", and now he's off the market.
There is no tri-state area in California. We're so spread out that San Mateo-Contra Costa totally counts as a long-distance romance.

or remain loyal to a company
Well, when companies have a reputation of not remaining loyal to their employees....

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I've seen this appellation in the microcosm of the legal market-- the response is always that firms are expecting MUCH higher hours (400-600 more billables) and making fewer partners. So loyalty is right out.

Swouncing
everyone I know is coupled up, as are most people they know!
Other than my roommates, pretty much everybody else I know is already coupled, too. Mostly, with at least one child already.
Most of my blind dates lately are friends-of-friends-of-friends. The most recent one, to take place, in fact, this evening, is a result of a conversation with a past-blind-date of mine with a friend of his. They were literally comparing names of girls they went out with, and when my past-blind-date's friend didn't recognize my name, he got my phone number.
amych! Belated congratulations on the marriage! Very happy for you and Mr amych.
JZ! More birthday wishes now that you're here to actually receive them!

Nice. Go team networking!
Although, that reminds me of the people I thought I might set up, only to find out that they had met already, due to eating lunch at the same place. Whoops.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
aww, thank you, Nilly! (and, once again, to all of you. I think I said it already, but the congrats just kept rolling in...)
