My family lived in the NW burbs of Philly when I was in 5th grade. I don't remember too much about it except the pretty and old houses, pretty flowers in spring, and a dialect that was like fingernails on a chalkboard. We only lived there about 14 months because my little Southern/Midwestern family didn't acclimate well to northeastern sensibilities.
You're wrong about River. River's not on the ship. They didn't want her here, but she couldn't make herself leave. So she melted... Melted away. They didn't know she could do that, but she did.

[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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Aimee, Manayunk is *so* cute. A great, small-town-like section of Philly. Beware in the winter, though -- there's not much off-street parking, and when they do get snow, plowing and all that is a nightmare.
Oh lordy, this is so true. It's a fantastic little community with some great eating and shopping, and there's an annual bike race that goes through there, but the parking situation is horrendous. (There's a great microbrewery there, which offers valet parking. I liked that.)

Because books.
I just want to know how you get to be Head Pixie, but that sounds like a gig I could really get behind.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I'd rather be the Tail Pixie, myself. Actually, Heads or Tails, we both win.
