Sounds like he's an idjit to me, Erika. I only wish you were closer and I could meet you in person. Looking at any of the pictures you were in at f2f, I thought you were lovely and had gorgeous dresses. And I already know from here that you're interesting and kind.

I'm glad you know who you should pay attention to!

Libkitty, you're not making Alaska sound any less scary!

Bears in road = eep.

Erika, what ita said.

Good answer ita. He hangs out in a bar three nights a week. Seems a nice, friendly bar, but still. Think I'll get my social advice from somebody a little less pickled.

I've only seen a few bears. Moose are the scary ones, and they're not in Juneau.

So saith my brother, Mr. Doesn't Get It'06

I believe libkitty has the right of it. Your brother in an idjit, erika. I'm watching Pulp Fiction right now. You know that scene where Travolta has to stab that needle full of adreneline into Uma's chest? I think someone needs to do that to your brother, but without any adreneline in the syringe.

He's trying to be protective, I think, but it's still dumb. Sometimes I could just kick my stepdad's ass for fucking with our lives enough that he made my brother get all "man-around-the-house-ish" That just never ends well. He just doesn't have the gravitas for it. Truthiness either.

We were just talking about how good it would be if you could move Erika- there are so many places ( meaning here) that have so much more to offer you . We being deb, sparky , sparky's dh , perkins, SA ( yay), matt and myself.

after the f2f, having dinner with 7 people seems like a very small group.

I'm thinking that may be true...while I do have friends here, we are not a tribe...The Hivemind, or anything. Thinking that may not be the same as having it *be*, however, but I'm considering it seriously.

CUTE bunny! Bless the bunny!

Apparently, y'all are not really my friends and if I moved closer to any of y'all, you would lose interest and leave me hanging.

Um. Yeah. 'Cause that's what happens to all the Buffistas who move to Buffista-laden cities. They get totally ignored and left out in the cold.

Or, you know. Not.

...I think he's probably trying to be supportive, in a negative and crappy way, but I also think he's not the sharpest tool in the box. Dude. I totally want to move to San Francisco and/or Seattle right now, but it's not so much a possibility. But I do think that it would rock if you could move to a more interesting and Buffista-laden bit of America.

Good to see the brainwashing took. Clovis will be pleased.
