I'm sorry, dad. You know I would never have tried to save River's life if I had known there was a dinner party at risk.

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie

Squee! Happy family news! I just found out that my "little" cousin (she'll be 17 in the spring and is a junior in HS) is going to be able to graduate a year early, this May! Holy crap! And she's getting into a full scholarship program at Northern Arizona University, so no tuition or room/board because of her high GPA. After two years, she'll be able to transfer to the college of her dreams, wherever that may be.

I am SO PROUD! She's as close as I have to a little sister, so this is really big news for me. WHEE!

ETA: The family is having second thoughts. Wee cousin may be graduating in December instead since her parents have observed a sudden onslaught of stress at the way she would have to fill her requirements. Still, early graduation and great college options, so I'm still very happy and proud.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Damn it.

My mom's lung cancer has metastasized. They found it in her hipbone and are planning an MRI to see if it's anywhere else. She's planning to refuse chemo, but is going to have targeted radiation for the spot on her hip.

I don't know how to feel right now, except for hating cancer. That's a constant.

I'm doing 101 Things in 1001 Days. There are a couple of LiveJournal communities for doing it together, but I thought it would be more fun to do the project with Buffistas. Anyone interested in joining me? Email my profile addy. You can see my project blog to see my list.

Interview~ma appreciated DC-ward at about 11EST. I definitely want the job, but it may only be for a year, in which case I wouldn't want it. So, "permanent job"~ma and "hire Vortex because she rocks"~ma is appreciated.
