Lorne: Once the word spreads you beat up an innocent old man, well, the truly terrible will think twice before going toe-to-toe with our Avenging Angel. Spike: Yes. The geriatric community will be soiling their nappies when they hear you're on the case. Bravo.

quick question. Trudeu recently has taken to useing "friend with privileges" for what I most recently heard of as "friend with benefits". (There have been all sorts of terms over the years for a friend you have occassional sex with, but are not in love with nor seeking a long term relationship with.) Anyway is "friend with privileges" a variant actually in use, or is Trudeu misremembering "friend with benefits".

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Robin != Rio, Typo.

Art Crawl!!!

Hhmm, I had thought that tonight's Shakespeare ReTold was The Taming of the Shrew but it appears to acually be Much Ado about Nothing.

Oh, I am serious. I have way too much stuff. There is no space in my space.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Damn, msbelle.

Who is Trudeu? I don't know if the expression is wrong--both work fine to me.

Spent too much time on the phone home (sister's moved back to JA and has much dish), an hour posing for the krav instructor manual, an hour leading a class, and almost an hour and a half doing kettlebell.

I'm home now, having opened up the cut on my finger handling laundry, having had both a shower and a Lush glittery bath. I feel noodle-like.

I want to put on a pretty dress and receive visitors.

Or sleep. Either way, a much better day than yesterday. I had two parties to go to--one had Robin announcing weddedness, and the other went on until 7 in the morning. I feel lame.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Who is Trudeu? I don't know if the expression is wrong--both work fine to me.

He's referring to the author of Doonesbury. Sadly, I'm not up with the crazy talk the young people of today are into, so I can't help with the question. Peas out. Was that right?
