Hmm. It's sounds like the finest party I can imagine getting paid to go to.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

What about the cities do you not understand, Gus?

Or did I miss a crime show reference?

Always Anti-fascist!

God, Gus, most people hate it when I bust out with the Balmerana. My mother is a very patient woman, but if I start one more sentence with "You know, in West Baltimore..." she may evict me. Even if it is my house. Well, the dealers moved out upstairs; that'll help. You think it's cute...where you been all my life? The same state as my punkassed cousin. Sigh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jesse, thank you so much. Hate looking for apartments, hate it.

I have a friend who will go on and on about how brokers are scum sucking pigs, and actually that's not a terrible place to start, because then you can be pleasantly surprised once in a while.

Hey Steph! THANKS for sending the book to my friend Susan. She stopped me yesterday and said, "Do you know Stephanie (Lastname)?" I said yes and then she said how she sorta didn't process your name because we have a coworker named Stephanie Yang. So she kept trying to thank her for the book until she looked at the card again.

She appreciated it.

You're welcome!

Heh. There, but for the grace of a "Y," go I.

So since I'm talking about Susan.... oh man! Susan's nephew-in-law, who is 22, just married a 19 or 20 year old girl. They registered at Target. For a case of gatorade and the big bag of chex mix. which of course totally reminds me of This Lulu Eightball.

Some people are simply too young to marry.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Steph, you look fantastic in that dress.

I concur! It's a great dress on you.

And the pick where your bro is on your back. The look on your face is priceless in that irritated big sis way.

Me and my brother when he was ~5 and I was a baby.

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

I think I am going to do this drive tomorrow or Sunday [link]

Anyone want to come with?
