Juliana, do you live near Fisherman's Wharf?
Ayup. I run past it every time I run (I also wave to Alcatraz), and it's definitely within walking/$5 cab distance.
No. And yes. It's always sudden.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Always Anti-fascist!
Stupid slow typing... I'm usually not inappropriate...like that. Yes, is sad, but maybe also freeing? In the Be Here Now sense? (Not that poor person's tragedy...that sense of random.)

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Hmmm.... want to meet for dinner? I'm staying at the Hilton at Fisherman's Wharf.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
I firmly believe that there is nothing at all freeing in the complete randomness of Wrong Place, Wrong Time.
But Wrong Place, Wrong Time is a strong panicky phobia place in my head.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Juliana and Gloomcookie having dinner?
That's a whole lotta cuteness in one place.

Wha - right now? How did I miss this? Sure! I'm free after 7:30 - you want to come to North Beach or you want me to come up there?
Tell you what - email me at my profile addy & we can work it out. Whee!

Mostly lurking...
Yeah, that's a total wrong place, wrong time thing. It's just freaky.
Poor Emily is all tuckered out...she's fast asleep, all cuddled up on the couch. I'd take a picture, but that'd be mean.

What is even happening?
I can totally understand that if one is just seeing it in writing, and from a culture where the name is unfamiliar. But I bet if I'd introduced myself to you in person, you'd have listened to the sounds and taken them on board, rather than proceeded to call me Nicholas, NicOLEuh, Nicole or Nicolai for the next month or so. (Which is more than can be said for some of my co-workers.)I actually know more than one Nichola/Nicola, but the only way I'd heard it pronounced until today (well, I guess including today, I keep forgetting I can't actually hear you people, and that my brain just dubs in your voices) was with the NicOLEuh way. That said, once I'd heard you say, "Nickle-uh" I'd have remembered, I hope.
I know I'm always startled by the way Canadians (and I assume Brits) say Regina with a long I sound. It is said Re-geena here.
The less said about the spelling and pronunciation of my surname, the better.
Now I can't resist asking, Karl. Does the "ie" take on a long E sound? I have it in my head that Germanic or possibly Germanic names with E and I together, in the middle somewhere, take on the long vowel sound of whichever of the two comes second, so like Weissenbach would be Why-sen-bach, etc.
Cindy, one of our housemates is named Cindy-called-Cin, and I always wonder why she's talking about someone named Christopher when I read your journal on my friends' page, before I realise, "Whoops, wrong Cindy."
Heh. I made a similar mistake, yesterday. A woman on my friends list was complaining about the giggling of a person who has the same name as a Buffista baby. She was then talking about something vaguely potentially romantic that hadn't panned out. I blinked hard, about three times, before I realized (thankfully) that it wasn't happily-married-Buffista-with-adorable-baby complaining about her baby's giggling and vague, failed assignations.
It is possible that the inside of my brain is a strange and scary place.
Heh. Yesterday at church, someone said to me quite pointedly, "You really do dream in Technicolor, don't you," after I provided an analogy on forgiveness.

Crushing on amych is like the new black Scrappy Is Wise T-shirt.
We pronounce my lil sis like "Kair-un" (rhyme the first syl. with "air"...or rhyme the whole thing with "Erin"). But, many of my southern relatives pronounce it "kay-run" (rhyme the first syl. with "day"). My mom tried for years to get them to pronounce it the way she wanted, but gave up after awhile.
Sometimes, it is just accent at fault, more than it is willful mispronunciation. I know New Englanders have more vowel sounds than most of the rest of the USians. Now that you type all that out, I think I'd most likely rhyme how I say "Karen" with how I say "Aaron".
Oh, dear. What a tragedy: [link]
I saw that on Boston.com. It's awful.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Cindy, check your profile addy, if you please, dear.
