Oh, oh, oh - I took CJ to get his haircut. He has a mohawk now. It is too cute. We also discovered that he has more of a lopsided head that we realized and his hair grows different on each side - the things you learn.
Heh! He looks great.
Just got back from taking Emmett to get his hair cut. First time at a salon, and first haircut in 18 months, so it had gotten down to his shoulder blades.
I took in a music magazine with a picture of Kurt Cobain in one of his longer, shaggier modes and that's how Emmett looks right now. Rockstarish. She even cut it with a razor for texture. He likes it. It's no mohawk, but it looks good, and it'll be a lot easier to take care of.
meara, did you see tommyrot's link to photos of Teddy Girls in England in the 50s? Total drag king fantasy pics. Except for the ones who had coolie hats and purses. (One of their other looks, when they weren't rocking the ducktail.)
So what does "ownd" mean? Owned? You own power, ie, you have power?
Right. "He owns your ass" or "I own your ass, lamazoid, I win!"
OK, but what does it MEAN, Daniel? I don't get it.
See above, it's a competitive phraseology that isn't all that second nature to me, but I've seen it in that context. Pretty much men playing games, pretty much saying they've triumphed so much that they are supreme ruler. It's probaly a lot less gender specific since I first saw the usage, but then so is the internet. (Thank any random god or diety of one's choice)
Pwnd is internet slang. It is based on another popular word "ownd". Power + ownd = pwnd. And that's how you derive pwnd.
Huh. Definitely not up on what the cool kids are saying, over here.
Right. "He owns your ass" or "I own your ass, lamazoid, I win!"
See, I get that. And I've heard (and used) it. But the pwnd spelling is...confusing.
But the pwnd spelling is...confusing.
I've only seen it a few times myself, as I'm not much of a gamer. Maybe it's context sensitive, and means other things, as mentioned above. I'm willing to be enlightened.

Sounds like you'd go home with Portland.
Portland's the kind you wind up marrying, and the sex is good, too.
Totally
went home with Portland the night we met. And it's gonna be a wonderful long-term thing with good, hot sex and plenty of laughs. Also lots of time just happily curling up in front of the fire.
I just don't know what I am going to tell San Diego. Breaking up so hard... Even when you know it's the right thing.
Have you found a neighborhood/apartment you like, Cass?
Fuck.
Just checked email:
RacerGirl...needed to write and let you know that [my cousin] Brooke was taken to the ER at Scripps Chula Vista [San Diego area] and then admitted to ICU last Wednesday evening...as you know she has been suffering from cancer for the past five years or so and she can no longer stand anymore treatments...according to her oncologist she has only a few more days left and wants to go home...I will keep you aware of anything new as it comes to light...so sorry for the sad news...Racer Dad
She's battled for a long, long time.
Breast cancer about six years ago that went everywhere and, most recently, her brain. We've known that she wasn't going to win this for maybe a few months, since it got to her brain. But we thought she had more time than she obviously does.
I hope she goes as easily and painlessly as possible. Even if that means before I can get home to see her Tuesday night.
What is tearing me apart is that for the last three years or so, my step-mom has been the one who has taken her to all of her appointments and treatments. They have been very very close. This is just too much.
I hope that Brooke's sister and parents step up and take care of her last days and that Denise isn't left with that burden so soon after watching her mother die.
Sigh...
Oh, cassie. I'm so sorry. Heading out now butmy phone is on.
