Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

French pedi, GC. It's what all the cool kids are doing. And by cool, I obviouisly mean me.

There are few experiences more unpleasant than playing a female avatar in an open internet game, where you don't know the other players.
I have enjoyed gaming off and on (we are off right now because I didn't install my video card and the urge to game hasn't overwhelmed my urge not to bleed) for about a decade and I generally loathe playing on open internet games. If I don't know a couple of other players, I just prefer not to play there.

Sorry about the heat, tommyrot. It is once again tolerable here. Actually it is lovely and only supposed to get uncomfortably warm later on. I just checked on the patio and it is 72. Yesterday when I left for work just before eight o'clock, it was 82 already. Thank ye gods for sparing us. And for the thunder storm last night as it was pretty.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Plei, there you go again with your common sense and parental responsibility craxy talk.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

Plei, there you go again with your common sense and parental responsibility craxy talk.

It's just... GAH! Is it that all the sheltered and naive people met and married other sheltered and naive people, and are now breeding? Is that it? Are there really that many of them? I don't get it. Maybe because the sheltered and naive people I knew tended to be less sheltered and naive then their parents assumed they were. Maybe because I'm in a major metro area, and it's harder to avoid this shit. ::cries::

I don't GET it. I don't. I don't. I don't.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Quiet day here. My folks are downstairs reading the paper. Soon we will go to the pool.(Which will be the first time this year we've done that)

Woot! Cass and I are as one! Pedi-twins power!

My desire to bitchslap some sense into the adult population does not bode well for my future in the PTA.

Oh, I think it does, just maybe not for the other PTA folks.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

I was just going to say, my mom was a PTA woman, and she could've used you for back-up against the craxies.

Bah. I have so much to do around the house this weekend but the heat is making me woozy.

I am seriously considering shelling out $500 for an air conditioner.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

A lot of parents just make assumptions as to "what video games are" and then become horrified when they're proven wrong.

When I bought my nephew a game for his 11th birthday, I had a heck of a time finding one that wasn't way onto the gory-and-highly-rated end (which he may well play, but which I feel I shouldn't be buying for him without knowing his parents' stance on the issue) but didn't look like it was designed for a six-year-old. Very annoying.

Ended up with NBA something or other, which went over well. But really, it wasn't very hard to look at the box and say "huh. I should not be buying this for someone else's child without permission."
