Tell them you're looking for a Nice Indian Wife on the computer, P-C. Or that you are perusing on-line doctoral programs to try and break yourslef of that nasty Goat Porn habit. Ugh. That sucks.

Me? I am valiantly skipping my friend S's rockin reggae-themed birthday party to stay home with Frodo and the Boyz to try and get rid of the rest of the Ick. I feel better, but not good, you know? I also don't want to give this horrific cold to any of my friends --so I am passing on the DELICIOUS CATERING from a local Jamican restaurant, which I could probably actually frickin' TASTE. Dammit.

Oh, well. I'd be miserable, anyway, and I do have root beer and vanilla ice cream here at home.

Oi, P-C. Your family really takes the Family Hell thing to the next level, don't they.

Taking a break from sanding to clarify that it's not that I mind doing stuff with the family; it's just the continual feeling that I'm being forced into it that makes me want to avoid it.

Also to add the sentiment that I wish I were Polter-Cow, because Sunil loses at life.

Ngah! Good grief, P-C. Dude. You need to move out, like yesterday.

...which I realise is an oversimplification of the matter, but it would be a good start, and I'm wishing you whole bucketloads of Moving-ma.

BLESS the Mal pics, Raq. (And word to how startlingly beautiful you are - I was actually just reflecting upon that earlier today, random as that sounds.)

((Askye))

I'm about 500 posts behind. I haven't been feeling very well the past few days, but I wanted to say hi.

Aimee, I am glad your sister is alright. How scary for her.

Punctuation for Sunil and for sj.

I wish I were Polter-Cow, because Sunil loses at life.

I am here to tell you that the game of life doesn't work like that, my friend. Life will always surprise you. And you always have it within you to surprise Life right back.

Aimee: I'm so glad she's ok.

Raq: Gorgeous pictures. How did I mange to see you for only, like, two minutes in SF? These things need to be a whole week.

Fay: Mail me Tristan. He always sounded so naughty and sexy to me.

Sunil: Oh honey, I'm so sorry they can't seem to make ONE IOTA of an effort to know you for who YOU are. It's bad for you, and so unfair. But over time its worse for them -- they're missing out on a neat, funny, weird person who is RIGHT THERE. Silly fools.

Aimee, that was a terrifying story! But yay on the directions-getting guys who looked out for her.

::waves at sj:: Feeling any better?

Mal is a total cutiehead. The "twu wuv" picture was adorable.

P-C, everything that Trudy and Sean just said. Try to remember that this is temporary, and that there are a lot of people who know just how smart and talented and responsible you are, and love you for it.

I am in someone's top 20 awesome people she knows. Maybe top 15. I told her she doesn't know enough people.

Feeling any better?

Nope. If someone could make the rain stop for at least a few days in a row my bone pain would go away, my sinuses would feel better, I could stop worrying about the roof leaking, and this depressive funk would lift a bit. t /whine
