I battle evil. But I don't really win. The bad keeps coming back and getting stronger. Like that kid in the story, the boy that stuck his finger in the duck.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Ooh. If you want curled tendrils, you use the setting lotion and wind a strand around a pencil. --Ah. I keep forgetting your hair is short now. Short and cute! So yeah, pin curls.

Tom, I hope it gets resolved with no job repurcussions.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

You know what is evil in this weather? An infected pore (ok maybe that's a zit) right on the braline. Fucking ow.

Watch it. I have a friend who thought she had an infected zit on the braline. She ended up having surgery on Saturday (less than a week after it was discovered and it had grown to 10cm x 6 cm and over 4 cm deep), and is still in the hospital on mega pain meds. Very, very bad.

I think I need to move to Alaska.

I agree, Sophia, totally.

Where libkitty is, it's quite mild. Where I'm from, NSM. I've experienced 95 degree weather (and no one has A/C), and -60 degree weather (at that point, even plugging in your car does no good).

Which just means that you should move to where I live, Sophia (or any ot her Buffistas out there!). Fairbanks is a great place, but as juliana indicates, not ideal for someone looking for mild temps. Also, the darkness in the winter can drive you mad. Literally.

As Kathy points out, though, the best waves are in the winter, so that means surfers with ice hanging from their wetsuits and occasionally getting hit in the head by a big chunk of ice.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Speaking of hair, I'm getting mine trimmed tomorrow. Regular maintenance! Measuring the time between haircuts in months rather than years! It's crazy.

Dana, it gets addictive.

Watch it.

Gee, thanks! This one is a plain old garden variety zit and is resolving itself. Still really awkward.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I was just charmed by an email from an old boyfriend that began, "What's up, you sexy bitch?"

I really need more good men in my life.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Thanks for the happy anniversaries folks. We're not actually doing anything special tonight because it's dance practice night. Not actually sure when we'll get to go out.

If only you had a beautiful and loving girlfriend who would be willing to play with your hair...

You'll learn to look forward to the shampooing part.

the hardest to learn / was the least complicated

I was just charmed by an email from an old boyfriend that began, "What's up, you sexy bitch?"

I really need more good men in my life.

I really need more e-mails that start with "What's up, you sexy bitch?". I feel sure of it.
