Dude, erika, don't worry. No offense. Alistair isn't even my favored name, just Hec's muddled impression of my favored name. It also took quite a while to disabuse him of the notion that I wanted to name our imaginary child Eustace. As. If.
Wesley: And how does your kind define love? Demon: Same as all bodies. Same as everywheres. Love is sacrifice.

Spike's Bitches 26: Damn right I'm impure!
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I'm so frigging relieved it's not my kids acting up,
I find I'm immune because I'm too busy trying to get Leif to behave.
It really depends where I am. The rare books room at UNC's Wilson library? No one should be drooling, shrieking, or waving a sippy-cup. The park? "Family style" restaurants? The 5 pm showing of a Love Bug movie? Of course there will be kids. I only have myself to blame if I go there and let kid-related sounds and sights get my back up.

vw is a-nap at the moment, and I am here to... uh... well, I helped her get to bed. That's important, right?
Anyway, just so nobody worries about anything awful happening.

What is even happening?
Emily, that's very important and you know she'd be the first one to say it.

You could just skip to the "Hec is an idiot" part, vw.
Shouldn't that be "Hec is a flippin' idiot"?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Emmett is an Irish name not a British name. Much less of a kick-me factor. And while he hasn't had any classmates named Emmett, it is a name which is heard around the Bay Area.
I don't know that kids take the time to figure out the etymology of the names, before they start the teasing and beating.
Yeah. Not to mention Emmett's middle name. I don't suppose a playground bullys are going to care about the "it's spelled with an "e" and is a family name" distinction should they pick up on Emmett's drag-queen middle name. Granted, it's a retro drag queen now. Wow am I old - Divine is retro.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Thank you for the update, Emily.
