I like books. I just don't want to take on too much. Do they have an introduction to the modern blurb?

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.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Why people gotta ask that question?

Tim says I'm a friend he met through work. Which is kinda true, if you squint and spin around really fast.

Trust my rage

Thanks, ita!

Yes, I'm home, finally. We got home Saturday night. I've been trying to make some progress on teh giant pile of crap in my house since we unloaded the car. I'm making slow progress - Ellie is not helping since apparently she does not nap now that we are home.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Yeah. You were a 'customer representative,' or something.

I cop to the internet, usually, and Tom and I go through it pretty reglarly. First I'll say something like we were friends for several years before we started dating, which is true, but then if folks are like, how did you become friends, I generally go through the whole shebang. I go out of my way to emphasize the nature of the internet community, though.

My agent met msbelle and Jesse and dropped me an email that read, "you really do know people everywhere!"

I was all, "duh! of course! the internets!"

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So many people meet their partners online that that seems like it would be easier to slide by without a whole story.

Also, I think it's nice that all the "offical" people at the Serenity thing were describing you people as friends and not fans.

See, now, Nora, if you buy 50 copies of my book, you can just hand that out instead. It would save time.

sometimes it is, sometimes it's not. I've never gotten a negative reaction though, so much of the explaining is from my own dumb head.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

your agent is a cutie mccutiehead and I owe her an email.

OH! Allyson, you were also in a dream of mine this weekend. I was braiding your hair into two long braids.

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

Oh my god, INTERNET! I miss you so much.
