Now tagless for your comfort.

In case anyone is interested in seeing me actually skate in a bout--I've got a clip of my very first bout up on flickr. I'm number #217. I take a couple of falls and a couple of hits but it's not a bad jam.

Librarian Warlord

Two weeks ago, on my DH's birthday, I asked you all to help us get the word out about Sassafras.

Today is my daughter's 2nd birthday, and Sassafras is still missing. K asks for her, but fortunately doesn't worry about her.

Please help us again by contacting our local media in Washington, and reposting our plea from our blog.

Thank you. Buffistas are the best.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Now that it has become official, I can announce that I have my job back for next year! Another electives teacher decided to take early retirement opening up a position in our department. Yay!!! I has job!

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

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

The DH is off to the urologist. No-more-kidney-bleeding-ma would be welcomed.

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

I know I've not been around for months upon months, so it's particularly cheeky of me to drop in and ask for -ma, but I'm not a religious person and I can't pray because it would be hollow. But I've always felt about the -ma that it's my equivalent of lighting a candle for people.

Anyway, my wee sister (healthy eating, sporty, samba-dancing, just qualified as a zumba instructor) has got this lump on her neck, and earlier in the week she went in to the hospital and thought she was just going to get it scanned or examined or whatever, and was a bit shocked when they gave her a biopsy. Apparently the envelope with the results in is sitting waiting for her right now; she's on her way back home from London.

So I would really appreciate some everything-benign-and-nothing-scary kind of -ma, guys, if you don't mind me dropping in like this out of the blue. She is my baby sister. (Yes, fine, she's 28 - in my head, she will always be 12.) My mind is one big blob of denial right now.
