I have discovered there's a woman in my company who's last name is "Kuntster".
And it's her married name. I would have never taken it.
Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.
Anya ,'Potential'
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.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
The girl defended herself by spraying a good long burst of Silly String into the dragon's mouth.
Bwahaha! That's adorable.
Triumph the Insult Comic Dog was at the NYC parade last week. (Along with fifteen thousand other dogs, which made walking around Chinatown even more of a contact sport than usual.) I tried to take a picture, but there were too many people in the way.

Punishingly Intricate
I invented a drink for my friend's Chinese New Year's party last week called the Pink Poodle. It was Champagne (sparkling rose would have been even better), pink grapefruit juice, pom juice, & pom seeds. It was delicious!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
In zoo news, we now have a new baby porcupine - a porcupette. The good news - for mother porcupines - is that the quills are soft at birth (so no stabby stabby for her).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh how I wish I had had more slack in my work day ealier in the week so I could have gotten in on the lunch having.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And it's her married name. I would have never taken it.
I can't not mention the friend whose mother's maiden name is Moyston and who married a Mr. Cumming.
And hyphenates.
It sounds like bull, but a) I know the daughter and b) google (sometimes I do to make sure I hadn't hallucinated it again).

Now tagless for your comfort.
Wow. My married name seems tame in comparison.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Cash! How's Little O? And how are *you*?

Now tagless for your comfort.
Little O is doing superbly! She's nursing like a champ and sleeping 3-4 hours at a stretch. Big Bro is still tense and weird but we had a better night last night and he's going to his grandparents to get thoroughly spoiled this weekend.
I'm basically feeling like I've fucked up his little world and am a bit guilty about it. He's stressed but dealing. As much as a nearly two year old can.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm basically feeling like I've fucked up his little world and am a bit guilty about it.
You have. But just remember that kids are very shortsighted about what their perfect world would be. Look at how things turned out with Nutty and Flea, and Flea was none to happy at the arrival of the li'l Nuttykin.
Here's a thing I remind myself: It's not my job to make Emmett. It's my job to give Emmett the tools to make himself happy. Sometimes that's going to be one step back for several steps forward over the long haul. Owen's going to be an excellent brother, I think. It will be good for him.
