Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs
I brilliantly posted this in COMM yesterday. Because you all rock, I got no hate mail. Yeah!
As I posted there, I feel kind of funny even posting here, since I really only follow Minearverse, Firefly, and the sidebar at this point.
The request for ~ma continues. It looks like I'll either have to buy a house or move within about five weeks. I've been here about 10 years, am a packrat, am swamped at work, my fibromyalgia is acting up, and I'm so far from tidy that it's not funny. Plus, the housing market here is supertight. And my nerves are making sleep almost impossible and remembering what I'm working on from one minute to the next is almost so.
I imagine this will all work out in some way or another, possibly really well, but I would really, really appreciate ~ma.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Still more photos of Ryan. A trip to Healesville Sanctuary, an Australian animal park: [link]

All is well that ends in pizza.
My Aunt Katherine looking for a used laptop from a reliable source, cheap. I'm doing the Craigslist thing, but a bit skittish, as one should be. I had preferred a Mac for her, but am willing to get her an older XP laptop, as she is just going to be using it for dial-up internet and a few games like Solitaire and some word processing. I have also considered getting a used PC laptop and upgrading it to MacOSX...
If anyone wants to get rid of an old laptop, profile addyis good.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I just added a bunch of you on Facebook so if you see Laga Ratica, that's me.

A little heart-ma for my dad please. My Dad had 'sode tonight and went to the ER. It turns out to be Atrial fibrillation, and they did have to shock his heart back to a normal rhythm. They're keeping him in the hospital for 24 hours for observation. He's 82, and has a history with his heart, so it's always worrying.

Punishingly Intricate
Hi everybody! I am once again riding my bike 140 miles over a weekend this May to raise money for Moveable Feast of Maryland. Moveable Feast provides meals and nutritional support (and MANY other services) to people living with HIV/AIDs and breast cancer.
This year my fundraising goal is $1300 which will feed one Moveable Feast client for a year. Please help me reach that goal if you are able.
Buffistas have been super generous in the past! No surprise! Thank you all.

Thrive to spite them
It's truly official. I'm moving to Vermont mid-end of April. I've given notice at work, I've got an apartment. I'm going to be in the same state the man I love is in. I can't wait

“Not dead yet!”
Requesting some ~ma for my new book submission. It's out with six publishers right now and I'm really, REALLY hoping someone loves it. Like, a LOT.
