In theory, I will have a car. Must speak to the father again.
You'd never make it. I'd rip your spine out before you got half a step. Those little legs wouldn't be much good without one of those.

[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.

Not having been to Portland, I can't chime in with either pros or cons for it. Between SF and LA, I'd say go SF. Better public transport and more, I don't want to say cosmopolitan, but it feels more like a European city to me and I like that about it. Plus, as more than one person has attested, if you don't like the weather, wait 15 minutes.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
My landlord is pretty slow about depositing the rent checks-- he usually does so about the 7th or 8th of the month. On May 10th, I discovered he hadn't cashed mine yet, and had to go ask him about it, since I thought I had probably given him mine, but honestly didn't remember.
He'd forgotten about needing to deposit them.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Oh, Steph. That's too freaking funny. And totally something I would do.
As soon as I discovered it, I had to send these repentant letters, saying "I'm so sorry, I'd appreciate it if you could waive any late fees, here's my payment, grovel grovel grovel."

I vote Portland, because I want to move there. :)

I feel like a big fat dope...but a happy one.
Almost four years ago, I packed up my apartment, moved in with my parents, then in September, moved to the Boston area. I packed both suitcases with enough clothes to last me till I got to Boston.
I also packed up my favorite jewelry in a ziplock bag, and stuck it in the suitcase.
When I got to Boston, I unpacked everything in my new room, and was devistated, because I had lost my favorite pieces of jewelry.
I just found them. In the suitcase I took to San Francisco. I have no idea how many times I've used that suitcase in the last four years. But, I'm thrilled to have the jewelry back.

Teppy -- that is so something I would do -- which is EXACTLY why I try to pay my bills online as much as possible.
And it's 89 degrees here and it's not even NOON.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
What a great surprise, vw! It's like new jewelry that is ALREADY your favorite!

I KNOW!
Most of it is cheap stuff that I just really liked. BUT, it also holds my Tiffany's bracelet that I adore.
