I've tried to use pseuds, but I just can't do it.

I am completely slammed with work, so all I've been doing is reading bits of the board while things were uploading. We're moving a huge site to a new host, and I came close to asking for website~ma.

I'm glad it seems to be a fairly peaceful coup. Fay's post reminded me of a letter we got from my older half-sister, when she was in Iran during the revolution. She wrote, "Everything's fine. I'm dyeing my hair and pretending I'm French."

I hope the grown-ups don't show up here. My house is a giant pile of dirty dishes and mail.

I'm going to take me and my pounding head to bed now with the hopes that tomorrow will be better. Night Bitches!

Yay for Fay being safe! We were concerned about you.

Glad to hear you're doing alright, Fay.

I had a nickname once. At the first college I went to, some people called me "slim."

Those who have met me can see the irony in that.

And no, I wasn't.

My freshman year in college, my group included way too many people named Dan. We ended up referring to them as Big Dan, Little Dan, Boston Dan, Drunk Dan, and Squirrelly Dan.

Dear Universal Whatever,

Why did you design the female body so stupidly? I mean, yes, good job with the boobs, because hey...boobs. But otherwise, you've got some 'spaining to do.

Another UTI? Really? Of course it came complete with fever and the usual extreme discomfort, but following it with a dose of really bad reaction to meds was truly inspired. I guess I can scratch "puke all over the CVS parking lot" off my to-do list. Oh wait...that was never ON the list. Oops!

Oh, and good job springing this on me the night before I'm supposed to spend two days at a camp retreat with my students. Brilliant touch, that.

No love,
Kristin

I never go by my board name in real life.

Me neither. I find it gauche.

I don't pronounce your apostrophe in real life. Too much work.

Yay, fay is ok.

boo, Kristin is sick

and a very mellow hello kitty
