I am not...I am not the damsel in distress. I am not some case. I have to work this. I've lived in a cave for 5 years in a world where they killed my kind like cattle. I am not going to be cut down by some monster flu. I am better than that. What a wonder...how very scared I am.

"What would it take to get your daughter to stop tweeting about this?"

LA-istas I need your opinions on price and location. I have a chance to rent a room for a couple months. Here are the details that I was sent :

the location is on Sherbourne Dr. between pico and cashio... there are two rooms available, I will be staying in the third bedroom. the rent for the full unit which I pay now is $2600. Whatever part of the apartment your rent will be prorated accordingly. the dates from July 23 to September 23rd with option for another month.

The "I" in the above description is husband of the wife that is renting the place. That is fine with me. It was recommended through someone I know and I don't have any problem with a male roommate. Anyway, my email address is good and I will check Natter for my name. I know nothing of going rates or that area so any information you could give me would be SO APPRECIATED.

edited to add "Natter"

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Can I ask for some interview~ma tomorrow from, umm, 9:00 am to 4:30 pm? (Yes, really. Really, really. You don't even want to know.)

Now that I think of it, some don't-devolve-into-a-quivering-pile-of-twitchy-human-fearing-goo~ma might also be in order toward the end of the day.

I'd appreciate any spare health~ma people have laying around. Dad got a worrying result on his latest liver enzyme test, and is going in to have it scanned today.

Mostly lurking...

Hello, all! I'm in the process of sending out the evite to my graduation party, which is in the Boston area on Saturday, August 8. If you didn't get the evite and will be (or can be) in the area that day, drop me an e-mail (vrwinters at gmail dot com), and I'll send it your way! I'd love to see anyone who can make it!

So, um, are there any Buffistas* who may be in Israel on September 14?

Because if there are, I need to know in advance, in order to include them in the guests list for my wedding.

* Other than Shir, of course, who is already covered.
