Wesley: Feng Shui. Gunn: Right. What's that mean again? Wesley: That people will believe anything. Actually, in this place, Feng Shui will probably have enormous significance. I'll align my furniture the wrong way and suddenly catch fire or turn into a pudding.

F2F 4: Too Much Candy, Never Enough Mojitos.  

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: Madison, WI from June 20-22 2008! Official website.

Considering the varied sizes and shapes of the members of our community, it would be all too easy for people's feeling to be hurt by your comment. I've always thought of b.org as a safe place from that kind of attitude.

I think that it is. As a person who can be sensitive about her weight, though, I didn't notice it. I thought of it more as a personality thing that an actual physical things. Like if we called a group "grey haired grannies", I don't think that anyone with grey hair would be offended.

(and how annoyed am I that the spellcheck thinks that I am misspelling "grey")

It didn't hit me, and I'm a fast impatient fat former Midwesterner.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Yeah, I was skimming over the comments yesterday but rereading today I have to say that for me, it did ping me and bothers me. Partly because of the "fat" comment and partly because it bugs whenever anyone disses on the people from the midwest.

Our wings are not tired.

Fat Yankee slips in for the slut.

I had to add it to my dictionary. Silly gray haired wrong headed spellchecker.

Now tagless for your comfort.

I'm slow, fat and Midwestern and yeah, that kinda bugs.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Another fat former Midwesterner here. I reserve the right to dis on the Midwest -- at a bare minimum, the part of Wisconsin where I grew up.

Madison is a very Buffista city. (May I also suggest Old World Wisconsin to history and craft buffs?) My problem is that it's a little too close to certain persons that I'm avoiding.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

I'm a slow, fat Midwesterner AND I love kitsch.

Clearly, The House on the Rock was made for me. Woot!

Ooh! We used to go skiing there every winter. Haven't been back in years though.

I'm down with Madison. And Fred, I'm sure we can hide you. Or distract them with corsets and candy or something.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I'm thinking I should go somewhere for New Years.

Come to DC!

Which is where I've been meaning to announce I'm going for NYE. My brother's fiance is planning to do a Russian-style New Year's. Which I don't know what is, but since it's their biggest holiday, I'm sure will be lavish and fun.
