though I don't recall suggesting otherwise.
And I don't recall suggesting you had. For the record. Just trying to help explain why she (and I) might have been confused.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

If I'd harboured any ideas about minoring in Latin ... well, the Aeneid killed them for me.
It wasn't intentional. I was majoring in Classics and Horace killed that idea. I was able to salvage a minor, but only after my university's students voted 3-1 to demand that the univeristy start offering minors again (they'd stopped in the late 60s).
Still, how else was I to learn the word coruscating? Trust me, a sixteen year old has to work to get that into conversation.
My favorite Latin word is impedimentum, root of the word impediment. It means "luggage."

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
And I don't recall suggesting you had. For the record. Just trying to help explain why she (and I) might have been confused.
If you weren't suggesting I had, then I'm still lost as to where you were confused. Bringing it up just seems unconnected if that's not what you were suggesting.

I was confused because I had no idea what your post meant. I couldn't single out a country which served burgers and no mexican food. I didn't realise you were only talking about one of her requirements.
You explained it, and I meant to express "I was thinking X, so I didn't get it."
Evidently I expressed something different.

If I had known, I'd have saved you guys some whole plants when I was thinning the front yard!
Heh. My problem is that I haven't been thinning at all. That's why I have waaaay too much sage.
I still have a fair amount, however. Some mint, but it took a hit in the heat, and I've been underwatering anything tough enough to survive.
Mint is virtually indestructible. If it were a liana it would outcompete kudzu.

My god. Every time I think it's an unreasonable time to be working (like, say, now, or Thursday before 6AM), someone in the batch of e-mails I sent out not only reads the e-mail, but responds.
Crazy people!

Prison Break starts tomorrow, doesn't it?
That's the earliest new show.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
That's adorable, Kristen.
I almost bought a mini on Tuesday before my root canal (It was in Cupertino, so I stopped in to visit G. at work).

Yes, it does! Tomorrow at 8 PM!
I wish we had a Prison Break thread. (HA!)

Also, Perkins, I love the mini. Especially now that I have the new hard drive. It's like a little tower o' mini.
