Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

Hey, there are Monkey Pants up for bid on e-Bay: [link]

I'd mock you with them, but the buy it now price is $999.00. They're Soviet Space Monkey Pants. Monkeys in SPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACE. It's as if someone created a talisman for b.org.

move out and draw fire

How sad is it that I wondered if anyone would say this?

How sad is it that I felt obligated to fill that gap?

Actually, this is where I look forward to the moment the plane doors close .. when it's too late to second guess having to do more.

When I flew to Prague for a semester abroad, I really didn't think about the implications (new people! foreign country for 6 months! don't speak czech! no confirmation that the friend I was staying with the first 2 weeks even knew I was coming!) AT ALL beforehand. I was oddly calm. Compared to the previous 6 months, all that seemed like small potatoes.

Until halfway through the flight. Then I discovered what a panic attack was.

Finally calmed down by pulling 2 blankets over my head and staring out at the stars.

Now I just fuss and fret and futz beforehand. Somehow, a mild level of craziness for weeks or days is much better than 30 minutes of pure crazy at something thousand feet.

People are asking me questions that I can't figure out what they are asking.

I hate that.

That's who the Soviet Monkeys mock with their Monkey Pants, Tep. Blame the French.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm totally stealing this.

So, Kanye West is performing on Ellen, and it's just him and the DJ on the stage. Man, that never happens. Thumbs up.

Oh honey, the mentally unwell people have been in the fanbase since Game Changers was Stucky fanfiction on the internet. The calls have been coming from inside the house the whole time!

Happy Birthday Nutty!

Sorry to hear about your car, Theodosia. Hopefully your insurance company will get the fixing process to run smoothly.

I worked at breakneck speed until almost 1 am to get a couple of badly overdue page proofs out. Now I find that my motivation and work ethic didn't wake up when I did this morning.
