-t, is your heritage (i.e. said grandmother's) Russian? Or Greek?
She was Russian.
I think I need to change my tag. And I'm not going to ask Cindy's permission, just to add to the oppression.
Kaylee: You're nice, too. Mal: No, I'm not. I'm a mean old man.

Actually, luckily I can now get the real (Lisa Lisa) version of that part in my head. Which easily tranisitions to All Cried Out. Phew!1

Too true!
Baby nails are the sharpest things in the whole wide world. I could understand if they had to bring down the wild boobie, but honestly, Lily's prey is pretty much the domesticated variety.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Randomly looking at headlines, I just remembered that my Uncle Dennis used to be married to a woman named Cindy. Well, Cyndi, but it was the 80s.

Well, Cyndi, but it was the 80s.
Was it a stormy marriage? Ugh. I'm sorry. I couldn't resist. I know Cyndi actually makes more spelling sense than Cindy, given my proper given name is Cynthia, but Cyndi bothers my eyes. When people call me "Cin" (which is pretty much the standard, in person), I always hear it spelled "Cyn" though, which I prefer.

Isn't it a rule that Cyndi is spelled with a happyface dotting the i? Do we have an internet-OED equivalent of the first instance of the use of the smiley-face emoticon? Hmm, off to google.
t yeah, sooo bored at work

The first known instance of using text characters to represent a sideways smiling (and frowning) face is in a newspaper advertisement in the New York Herald Tribune, March 10, 1953, on page 20, columns 4–6.[1] Promoting the film Lili, starring Leslie Caron

Of course! The heart-shaped dot corollary. How could I forget?
