Oh, PS Emily: Once you live in CA and have bought a car and are a teacher, you can drive cross-country next summer too see people. THAT sounds fun.
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
"Spamalot" was very silly, and a lot of fun. Also, I had a mojito with dinner. (Never had one before, but all the talk in the F2F thread made me curious)
In a little bit we will head to the mall so I can buy a new swimsuit. whee.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
DH and I used the "toss everything that's left into the car" method when we moved from college to NYC, and the end result was that we had about a 6" square where we could see out the back window once we were done. That was some of the slowest highway driving I've ever done.

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

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Chumley was enough trouble just to drive down to NJ from Boston with -- he was scared and meowed constantly for about fifteen minutes, until he got bored and fell asleep. Then something would wake him up -- anywhere from 5 to 30 minutes later, he'd be surprised to be in the car and in his cage, and start meowing again, for the entire length of the 6 hour drive. I can't imagine it would be any better on a cross-country drive, or a plane trip... except the plane trip would be shorter.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Apparently, cats do much better than dogs on planes. As hunters, their reaction to a stressful situation is to sleep so once the lights go out, that's what they do. Our 14-year-old cat, who made his paws bleed trying to claw his way out of the carrier (a carrier it usually took many tries to get him even to go into) on a 20 minute drive, was absolutely fine on a cross-country flight, just as his vet told us he would be.

So what I needed for Chumley was a little hood?

What is even happening?
There isn't a storage place. There's just the apartment.
I meant the 'storage space'. Isn't there a little closet, or dead space, or what have you (I must have misremembered you calling it a storage space) where the landlord is always working (maybe on that roof problem that never goes away)?

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
Do you want to keep them? If not, why not just leave them on the curb?

Mostly lurking...

Oh, yeah. That. It's my "office," part of my room. We use it for storage. It's kind of obvious, though, if we leave stuff there.
