Reynolds, I'm a dangerous-minded man on a ship loaded with hurt. Now, why you got me chatting with your peons?

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Thessaly writes writes, on livejournal:

...I'm accepted to New England College's graduate program in poetry, with a nice chunk of scholarship money to start my forage for funding. I'll probably start classes in July. It's a low-residency program, so I'll still be here, just overwhelmed.

Anyone with any ideas for where to find another $22,000, please chime in.

WOO AND HOO!!!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Princess Miracleborn I update:

Emma's fever...or, as it may be, non-fever (epic ranting tale to come later...watch your newsstands, kids!) has abated muchly from the get-go of her NICU stay. Doctor intends to release her tomorrow. NICU Neo-natal doc has head firmly lodged up Neo-natal doc's ASS as does one or two NICU nurses. (Epic ranting tale COMING SOON! Just in time for Xmas!) So listen for yippees, hurrahs and loud sighs of "Fucking A!" relief come tomorrow between 10 am and 1 pm PDT.

Thanks for the fever-ma. If I could beg some Bureaucratic Sanity-ma, that'd be spifferifous.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

I'm glad Aimee and the clan are home now.

I've posted pictures of Carmarthen, the place I'm staying at here in Wales.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I'm not sure who I've been keeping in the loop on this, but now that things are settled, I figure it's safe to share.

We've been hoping to buy the family home, which I guess makes us crazy enough to participate in LA real estate, but at least gives us a leg up. Anyway, we made an offer and my siblings accepted it. We've secured a loan. Looks like it's official.

We own our very own DUMP! um, yay?!
