Can we just divorce our crazy families and adopt each other?

I thought we already had.

SA, please dance your heart out, love every minute, get the most out of it - that will increase the joy of the entire hivemind.

waves hello to Noah and GraceYou are beautiful. Thrive and grow and be more joy.

There's just too much suck in March, I don't have it in me to elaborate on the ~ma and the punctuation I'm sending out.

I just want to note that there was no "flipping out" around the line I quoted. It was simply a gentle reminder to keep in touch with my relatives by calling them regularly.

you should send her one of my blood-spattered photos with a email explaining that you are moving to Seattle to be a houseboy. The resulting shock would probably get her to stop freaking out about other things.

Hee.

Remind your mom that she, too, is American.

She's not American. She's in India.

SA! That's great news!

Maybe someone's trying to tell us we should have given up hope for Lent. It does usually occur in March...

In more mememe news, I went to my job interview and the chick isn't in today. WTF? I talked to her on Saturday and wrote it down. I have to go back Friday now. Great.

The bank thing is ... I don't know, par for the course right now? We're still having problems with Stephen receiving his unemployments for fuck's sake. But yeah, the woman at the bank knows the transactions aren't ours, and I guess we'll get a new account number and cards. (We better, I would think.) It's just ... I don't need this *this* week. Or any week, to be honest.

The thing is, it must be fairly common. The identity theft happened to my parents, and they're still dealing with the fallout two years later. Of course, if someone wanted *our* identities, rather than simply our money, they're going to be sorely disappointed. Our credit sucks.

I think we need Buffista Island for March alone.

P-C, have you seen The Namesake yet? It's about this very thing and a very good film.

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?

Oooh, this could be me. Except it doesn't sound like much fun.

I have a couple friends who want to see it, so we'll be seeing it soon, I hope.

Perhaps this article on making matzoh balls [link] will distract people from the horrors of March.

P-C, did your mother email you the CNN video clip about the 2% divorce rate for Indian arranged marriages? I thought of you when I saw it.

Go York! Choose York!

Or, you know, whatever you want to do, SA. But that is made of awesome.

Everybody else: Sorry. In like a lion out like a lamb?
