Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!  

[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.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I don't know that I'd use the video feature either, but the difference between a color screen and the monochrome one I have is huge in terms of visibility, just for reading the names of tracks. Plus, it comes in black.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

Well, I hope your current iPod is resuscitated. But if you get a new one I agree that it's worth the extra money for a larger drive.

{{{Miracleborns}}}} Feel better.

Happy Birthday, Windsparrow!!!

Then I'm done smoking.

Woo Hoo!!! You can do it, Nicole!!!

I lasted about an hour and a half at a family party, when my mother suggested I leave before I hurt somebody. Families can be so annoying.

WTF, sj? How would you hurt them? Unless they were so annoying you finally took a crutch to them in intellectual self-defense? In which case, call me, I'll help you hide the bodies.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

WTF, sj? How would you hurt them?

Because a couple of them were being so obnoxiously prejudiced that I was likely visibly fuming. I just can't stand it. Especially when I hear the words of the older generation coming out of my 17 year old cousin's mouth. He was a very bright, sweet child, and they have essentially ruined him.

Yes, this is what my mother was trying to avoid.

Well, can't blame a mom for wanting to save her kid some jail time. I, on the other hand, will plot with you for ways to get even with the bigots.

Thanks, for the record, this is not my whole family. Most of them are good people.

Oops...muscle spasm. ETA: Although the murderer in my book found today's lightweight crutches too titanium light for his blunt-instrument needs and used a hammer to finish.

Our wings are not tired.

iPod~ma to Cass. I haven't felt a need in my life for an iPod. I have adequate music sources at home, in my car, and at my desk. It hasn't been a burden to not have it elsewhere. I do have an old mp3 player that I used when I was doing road mileage. It only holds about 2 hours or so of music, but it is pretty rare for me to walk longer than that.

Yay for the anticipation of freedom from smoking Nicole! It's been so long since I smoked I don't even remember anymore. It's lovely to never care about it.

I, on the other hand, will plot with you for ways to get even with the bigots.

Oh goody! Can we subscribe to magazines that would offend?

As crazy making as my family can be I am grateful that I don't have that to deal with. I can remember being shocked when I encountered bigotry for the first time as an adult. I had read about such things and saw it on the news but it was just mind bogling to encounter it in real humans that I otherwise thought were normal.
