Yay! Glad you found a place to go, Theo.
Lorne: Snakes? Uh-huh. And they came out of your what? Okay. Okay, well, did they get up there themselves or is this part of a, you know, a thing? No, I'm not judging...Do we fight snakes? Angel: Only if they're giant. Or demons. Or giant demons. Are they giant demon snakes? Lorne: Well, unless this guy's 30 feet tall, I'm thinking they're of the garden variety.

Yay, Theo! (Also, their gain, at least as much as yours).
I suck at icing cakes.
My mom always used to say that "in the stomach you can't feel that it doesn't look so pretty". I'm sure it's yummy.

What Nilly's mom says.
Good news Theo.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
"in the stomach you can't feel that it doesn't look so pretty"
Which is a very good point. However, having someone say "That looks good! All your stuff tastes good, but this time it looks good too!" kinda stung. Kept feeding him, though.
The folks here are (in order of awakening): Kristen, me, Kat, lori, Polgara, Allyson and sarameg.
Now, if only someone could tell me how to use the coffee machine. These things stump me.

I'm okay with the cake looking a little fugly. In a way, it's kind of cute.

Okay, what kind of frikkin' horoscope is this:
You may be convinced that a certain course of action is correct, but even so it will pay you to wait a while before committing yourself one hundred per cent. Mercury, your ruler, remains retrograde until December 4th and some time on or around that date you will realize you have made a terrible mistake. Hopefully it won't be too late to change it.

Oh, I could imagine.
On Purim one usually sends foods to people. My mom usually makes several brands of special cookies, which are the yummiest things ever. However, she doesn't wrap everything with bows and ribbons and colored papers and the like, the way most people do. She always apologizes for that. She makes the yummiest things, and still feels like she's expected to prettify them.

Hee.
I've never met sarameg yet. Now I'm even more jealous. And I don't even have a holiday as an excuse.
Now, if only someone could tell me how to use the coffee machine.
If they're all awake, somebody should.

Anne, I can never make any food look presentable. Yet my family always cheer when I am home to ice the cakes because they know my icing is good and there'll be lots of it.

I'm debating now:
do I write my paper
make pancakes
go to the grocery store for more food

I vote pancakes!
