Any Chicago 'istas interested in seeing a preview performance of A Christmas Carol at the Goodman? I may be able to get a couple of comps (or at least a discount). I'm looking at either Nov 26 or 28. Let me know if you want to go and which date. Profile addy is good.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Bec and I are off to Australia tomorrow. Not sure when we'll be back. Depends on how long it takes for the Consulate to process our visa. We'll be attending a wedding, and I have a job interview in Sydney.
Not sure when I'll be able to check in. I could be dark for a while.

I need the patented Buffista-ma.
I'm almost finished with my legal secretary program, I just have a couple tests and an internship and I'm done. But I'm having trouble lining up an internship.
If y'all could send me some internship-ma some way I'd appreciate it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
My Uncle John, oldest of his eight siblings and known fondly as "The Shepherd", has had a heart attack and is awating bypass surgery.
Any prayers, vibes, or heartma would be very much appreciated.

Thanks for all the fish.
Say, does anyone want to see pictures of our fabulous Lord of the Rings party that Mecha couldn't attend because he moved to Montreal?

My stepfather's mother passed away today. Vibes and prayers for the family would be very appreciated.

My teenage second cousin needs healthma. I just found out she's been been sick for two weeks and has been in the hospital since Thursday, she's spiked high fevers, has weakness on one side, shooting pains. They've given her MRI, all kinds of other tests and they come out negative. Currently the drs are thinking that perhaps it's psychosamatic (she's been under a lot of stress lately).

I saw Uncle John and it was a huge relief. Surgery is scheduled for Monday and he is being all sorts of prepared an dmonitored. I was sure he was going to die until I saw him.
MWAH to you all for your good thoughts and support. Thank you.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Happy memememe fencing news:
I earned my "E" rating in foil by finishing 7th in a 32-person tournament yesterday. While it's not exactly a ticket to fame, fortune, and international sports stardom, a rating does generally mean a slightly easier time in future tournaments. Plus, hey, I might've actually gotten decent at this stuff somewhere along the line....
When I decided on a whim to try out this fencing thing (something I might never have done if I didn't have Buffistas egging me on) I never thought I'd get so utterly addicted to it. Y'all have listened to a lot of babbling about it over the last two years, so I figured you're the people I needed to babble to about this.

Thanks for all the fish.
Just to let everyone know - starting this Monday we will be getting the three unaired episode of Firefly in Canada. We'll be discussing the episodes in the Atlantic Canadians thread. We will be discussing the episodes as they air, each Monday.
