WOOT! Double congrats to you, SA!
I'm okay with this adopting each other as family as long as we can be kissin' cousins. IJS.
A valid point.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Thanks again guys! I have been smiling ridiculously all afternoon. Salsa dancing is going to be extra celebratory tonight!
..of course, then the deliberations will set it. but they will be backed by HAPPY.

Um, P-C? Remind your mom that she, too, is American. And also crazy, so ergo is another crazy American.
Last day of MAP tests! I am watching my kids with one eye, and watching Resident Evil 2 with another.
It's fun!
Everyone has sucky news, except SA. Dayum. I just went to jail. Except I DO have to go to court again today -- I am going to just pay a ticket. I hope I don't get put in the pokey again.

SA, congrats!
As for the rest of what's going on ...? Dear 2007, you are not keeping your end of the bargin we made. Stop it with the gloom, doom, and dire situations RIGHT NOW.
So, if people need family that's not crazy, I can offer my parents. Well, okay, they are crazy, but in really good ways.

Yep, I can offer mine too. I miss them so much.

Miniature Crocs!
Ellie has these and they are so cute. They are almost as long as they are wide.
SA, that's fantastic news! So happy for you!

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

You may already know this, but American = white folk. Who just aren't good enough to have as friends, why don't I have Indian friends? Do I hate Indians or something? Huh? Do I think I'm better than everyone?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
That's how you keep in touch with the family. Family's all you got. American [people], you know what they have. They don't have families. Well, not that they don't have families, but they're not close. For Indians, family is number one right now. Not right now, always.
Ah ha ha. ISTG your mom is working from the exact same template as my dad and his sister, except theirs inserts "Greeks" in all the places hers inserts "Indians." I got variants of this email, in writing and over the phone, endlessly from both of them throughout the wedding-planning process and again throughout the baptism-planning process (and, from my aunt, for every single wedding or baby shower in which any family members were even peripherally involved).
Is there some scary-ass immigration employee, on a mission from God to fuck up all future generations, handing this selfsame script to all non-USian parents as they cross our border?

Do I think I'm better than everyone?
Sometimes the answer to this really is "Well, to be honest, yes, I do."

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Hooray York! And salsa dancing! And cute baby shoes!
