Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Spike's Bitches 31: We're Motivated Go-getters.  

[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.

That's patently unfair, Cashmere.

How about something about tiaras, Aimee? Or how the popularity of Harry Potter has impacted literacy rates?

The status is NOT quo.

Aims, just make sure that you pick a topic that is a question (a why or how or cause or effect type question), not just a what happened. The most common error my students make with research papers is asking something obvious, like "What was Susan B. Anthony's life like", which turns into a factual regurgitation rather than a critical research essay. Instead, ask something like "Why did Susuan B. Anthony become involved in the women's rights movement?" or "How did Susan B. Anthony affect the women's rights movement?". Basically, you can test your thesis question by asking if you can look up the answer in one place. If you can't--if it's going to take analysis of multiple sources--then you have a good topic question.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Could I somehow transition it into how the lowest minority to turn out at the polls is, in fact, women?

Mmm...interesting. Women went through hunger strikes and were imprisoned and force fed just so other women could choose not to vote.

I took my nap earlier this afternoon. Right now I'm baking some pasta for dinner.

Christopher tried to cut Owen's hair again. Only this time he shaved it. Unevenly. Boy looks like he's ready for basic training. I keep telling myself that it will grow back.

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

Anyone else flash on regular "what Christopher did to Owen's hair" posts over the next fifteen years? Or maybe ten - after that it'll be "what Owen did to Owen's hair."

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Exactly.

Although, the retail suggestion is about shopping. ANd I love shopping.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

And it wasn't (completely) a smart ass suggestion, Aimee. There has been a major change in the way people buy, sell, and market things, and it's not all Wal-Mart/Target-ization

I predict that it would be hard to limit yourself to 2500 words on e-tailing. But maybe that's good.

Now I want them all to be archived.

Roller Derby History!

More Roller Derby!

Also, you get extra interview points for interviewing Sail's daughter.

I'm ready to start letting him cut his own. I think he might do a better job.

Alas, I don't think I can ask a good question about roller derby to warrant 2500 words.
