Birth, death, illness, new job, vacation...if it's happening to you and you want us to know about it, post it here. These threads are intended for announcements only. Want to offer sympathy or congratulations, or talk about anything? Take it to Natter. Any natter here will be deleted.
Two things:
Positive vibes requested for my friend Sean, who is currently in Cairo, which, while not ground zero, is probably not the safest place for an American to be right now. He's a smart boy, but he takes risks, and... I worry. I can't help it. Fer chrissake, he wants to be a war correspondent; when he told me that, I joked, "So that basically means that I'm going to spend the rest of our lives worrying about your safety? Thanks for that." I didn't know I'd have to start so soon.
Also, Angus and plasmo, can we get together for dinner or drinks sometime on Sunday? I'm leaving Monday morning and I've got tentative plans for Saturday, but I'd really like to see you both again before I leave Melbourne. Email me and we'll figure something out.
Going dark for the weekend. First stop: Ball State University to see Jane Espenson speak. Then off to my dad's for his birthday and some family insanity fun.
I got accepted to the Study Abroad program at King's College. I'm going to be in London next year!
Gettysburg College accepted me! Woo!
Yay Holli.
I hope I can post this here.
I've lost my best best friend. His name is Ben Batham and he left for Newcastle uni. 9 years ago. I saw him once about 2 years ago so I know he's alive. It has been 2 years now since he last made contact. I've known Ben since we were both babies and it is unlike him to go so long without contacting me. I know his father well, he doesn't know where Ben is either. I haven't spoken to his mom since I last saw him. I believe he is in London, in the city.
I am worried and hope he will contact me ASAP.

I'm off to Hawaii, where I plan to leave the TV off as much as possible. See y'all in a week!
I'm back from my long weekend. Jane Espenson is FUCKING BRILLIANT!! And adorable. She talks purty, too ;) There's a picture of us if I can ever get it uploaded.
jobma, please, for me tomorrow as I go over to the hospital's library and inquire about a job there. The young man who's called me mom for over a decade and whose children call me Grandma knows the woman in charge of that library, and she's retiring and looking for a replacement. I'm about to print up my resume, and I'm taking the day off tomorrow to go investigate.
