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

I'll be dark a little while longer, but for those who know what the hell I'm talking about... She said yes.

Mom goes into surgery at 11:30 a.m. Eastern Time. She is getting her hip replaced. She's been in a great deal of pain for some time now, and physical therapy has stopped working. So, this is a good thing. But, still, surgery is scary. Any ~ma you can spare is greatly appreciated.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

DH and I are off to Paris and London for ten days! We'll be pretty dark grey until we get back. Au revoir!

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Anyone who hasn't heard through the grapevine and wondered where I've disappeared to...the IT Dept. at work has turned up the blocking software recently. One of the consequences of which has been to make Buffistas completely unavailable to me on weekdays. As I'm in classes several nights a week, and my laptop is still a large paperweight, I'll be continuing quite dark for the foreseeable future.

Profile addy's good if anyone would like to drop me a line. Miss you guys.

All this time, I thought Hunter was a bitch. Turns out she was just hungry.

My oldest uncle is in the hospital with aspiration pneumonia. Yesterday, the doctor called to ask whether I wanted her to install a stomach tube or put my uncle on "comfort care." I asked for a speech therapist to be brought in for consultation/evaluation, but otherwise still haven't answered.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm being all Hardworking New Employee at my new job, so no b.org during the day for a while for me. And home is still dial-up. So I'll be a dark charcoal, pinstriped by a lighter shade of gray on the weekends.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

So we had a Coup D'Etat.

But so far, everything's okay. Yesterday there was no school, because of the revolution, but today we're back at work and it seems to be pretty calm and the king supports the new guys, and EVERYONE adores the king, so I reckon it's going to be fine. So, er, don't freak out.
