Hey, I've been in a firefight before! Well, I was in a fire. Actually, I was fired from a fry-cook opportunity. I can handle myself.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

I've been attending commission meetings to try to get a community garden in South Pasadena for a couple of months now. Things are starting to look promising but the city needs to see the gardeners, needs to see the interest. If you know any gardeners in South Pasadena, PLEASE send them my way!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I know I've been a ~ma hog over the past month, but if I could get some annual review~ma today at 12:30 pm ET it would be wonderful. It was a very rough 2d half of the year, and I'm hoping that it's documented fairly. Thanks!

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

Looking for a littl e job ma ~~~ for me. I have a chance at a lateral transfer that would be full time ( so rare in my field at my level ) and working with teens . I suspect there will be stiff competition

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.

I am now officially contracted with Praeger Press to write a book "Solving Global Warming through Social Change: Public Investment in Social Prosperity to Cool a Fevered Planet [Working title] ". Thanks to all the support from Buffistas over the years that helped me reach this point.

I posted this in Bitches a few days ago, but I thought I should post it here too: I will be sending out wedding annoucements after TCG and I elope next month. If anyone wants one, please e-mail me at my profile address with your address.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I will be very dark for awhile. I moved today and there is no free wi-fi at the new place. So, I'm sitting at the mall posting this and I have to go home at some point.

Now tagless for your comfort.

My twin sister starts her first round of in-vitro this week. A bit of baby~ma would not go amiss.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I got a (temp) job for the next three months or so, printing emails and processing mail so that A Major Nearby University can handle a rather hyuuuuuge admissions season. (I'm told my team will process about 11K applications.)

I start 11/15.

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

My dear friend (and ex) Mike is going to be on TV! There's a new show on Discovery, starting this week, called Oddities. He described it as Antiques Roadshow for lunatics. They go visit people who have weird stuff and talk about it, basically. And man, does Mike have lots of weird stuff. He doesn't know when his episode will air, but the show sounds cool, so keep an eye out for my wacky ex and his soon-to-be-famous shrunken head!

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

I hate to keep skipping out and then come back in here and ask for ~ma, but. I was just about to call my SiL to tell her that I bought my plane tickets to come up to NY from 11/13-11/19 to see them, and she called me. My brother had been doing great, and was supposed to get out of the hospital tomorrow, but he's in emergency surgery right now, because he's bleeding in his brain.

I don't even know. I don't even know who to call. My friend C., whose daughter is twelve weeks old, reminded me that all of this has happened since her baby has been born. Twelve weeks ago he was working, and climbing mountains.

Anything you've got, please. I'm just so scared.
