Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
What a great picture to wake up to!
Now I have to jump in the shower because I have a full day planned of doing laundry, dusting, vacuuming, driving to the store to rent a carpet shampoo machine, and then carpet cleaning! How very glamorous and exciting my life is. Although we will be going to the X-Men movie tonight, so I have something non-cleaning-related to look forward to.

I've watched entirely too much Teen Titans this morning. I'm going to have to make up for it by being extra-productive this afternoon. I hope!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm pretty sure the only "us" was us people - the same us the U.S. and China have today.
I'm sorry--I don't get it.
My assumption was that there is a "We are people" us. And then when the white man comes, there is a "we are not those people" us. Neither of those concepts require an invasion.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I think Gar took your question as asking if there was an all-over-this-land, i.e., contintental "us" - that's how I parsed the answer anyway. But I think you were really looking at the more localized tribal/band/group us - "us" here in this clearing as opposed to "them" on the other side of the valley. Which I think there demonstrably was. Am I reading you both right?
Actually maybe not, now that I read you again.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think there are all sorts of us, and not all of them require a them (well, not a human them). And not all of them require an invasion. But the idea that there is a West Indies of which I'm a part doesn't mean I'm claiming kinship or similarity with a Trinidadian.
I don't think it's a rare concept. In fact, I think it's human.
Okay, off to teach fledgling kravvers. Wish me luck.

Anyone speak better French than me?
Is porte verrouillée the proper phrase for "locked door"?

Crap -- afternoon yoga classes were cancelled. I'll just have to find something else athletical to do. ::looks meaningfully at neglected backyard::
