I have to believe, Beverly. I have to believe or I have been through a lot of crap for no good reason...and I think I have just made liberalism a splinter religion and how very sacrilicious of me. But I guess it is the role it plays in my life, for good or ill.
Or maybe you could just be Buffy, he'll see your amazing heart, and he'll fall in love with you.

I've moved since the cookbook order went in. Any chance they can come to the new address?

Emily, I sent you a sad and crampy email.
Signed, my uterus hurts AND I'm starving.

Hey. New board.
Well, I'm back from Guatemala. It's the best place ever, and anybody that wants to learn some Spanish should consider going to Antigua for a couple of weeks or longer. The school I used was awesome and will give you 4 hours per day of one-on-one tutoring for $135 a WEEK, and, if you're willing to live with a native family, room and board for an additional $85 a WEEK. OR, perfectly nice hotels can be found for $15 a night or less and food is $10 a day or less, so... cheapest educational vacation EVER.
ETA: Sorry for the asscap abuse, I just had an awesome time and want to go back. For a month. Right now.
By the way, anybody speak pretty good spanish and want to penpal with me? I'm planning on watching Buffy all the way through with Spanish subtitles, but I'm not sure that's really good practice, so much.

Oh, I didn't know you were in Guatemala. We could have hooked you up with SA.

Hey. New board.
I emailed SA before I left. Completely different areas of the country. As it took me 2.5 hours to get driven less than 50 km on Guatemalan roads, a meeting didn't really seem conceivable, unfortunately.

Gris, I speak decent Spanish and I need to practice in preparation for Puerto Rico.

Hey. New board.
Sweet! You should send me a rambly email that uses all sorts of things I haven't learned yet so I need to research it to understand! Since I basically only know present, preterite, and simple future tenses at this point, that shouldn't be too difficult.
I have the Oxford spanish/english/español dictionary on my palm (which is worth the $30 so much it HURTS if you carry a palm around, though a memory card is a necessity - over 300,000 entries, many with dozens of examples) so vocabulary, at least, is easy for me to parse, generally.
When are you going to Puerto Rico? And why? (Don't answer here, unless others are curious - put it in the email! Yes, i'm easily excitable.)

Emily, thank you!
Okay, back to work. Grumble.
