( continues...) much - I'm spending too much time there. We just hit 500 registered members (which is pretty big for a Broadway musical this young), were mentioned in Rolling Stone (apparently the composer, Duncan Sheik, likes our community's name and so is a supporter-in-email), and have received confirmation that several of the cast members lurk regularly. It's an interesting place - a lot younger-skewed than here, as might be expected, leading to a lot of misspellings and LOLs and smileys. Which can get annoying. But most of the kids are intelligent and interesting teens, so it's a great place to moderate. It's kind of like being a counselor at a summer camp for theater kids, without the physical liability. I roll my eyes fairly regularly, but usually with a smile.

I have to go put on my second layer of wax now. This post has been sufficiently rambly anyhow.

Thanks, all! Damn. TWO???? How'd THAT happen?

TWO???? How'd THAT happen?

Tomorrow she'll be asking for the car, Plei. Be warned.

And I suddenly flashed on how old I'll be when the Buffista Babies become Buffistas Kids and Buffista Teens, and I'm wondering if I'll still be in contact with you all to hear about Emeline's first date and all.

I'll blame the cold.

Happy b-day, Lillian!!!

Aims, did you get power back yet? Ours was out from before we got home yesterday (around 5:30PM) and it was still off when I left this morning (8:30). We're worried about our fish, who've been without their filter for many hourse... Today was Hat Day since I couldn't dry my hair. It's a newsboy cap with a Chococat patch on it, so things could be worse.

Edited because worsel is not a word.

probably. Of course, by then, we'll all be wearing sunglasses that have the internet in them, that we navigate through our thoughts.

I realized that I have been a Buffista for 10 years. I started back on Salon in 1997-1998. I remember Holli being stood up for the prom (still mad), and countless graduations and school acceptances, and . . . God, I love this place

Aims, I TOLD you to stop listening to Wicked.

Oh well, damn.

Guess I'll have to toss in "Hairspray" today.

GC, yeah, we got ours back just after 8 last night. Poor fishies!!

Felicitations, Lillian, on the second anniversary of your Natal Day! It seems mere moments, in a way, since you were eagerly anticipated, and forever in another way, since you've been a force for smiles and gurgles among us.

Wishing you a splendid day, and a year full of discovery and mastery, as you generate smiles and happiness around you.

Happiest of Birthdays Princess Tickybox Lillybean Squeakaboo!

Calloo, callay, it's Lilybean's birthday!

Happy Lilybean Day, everyone!

"Worsel" should be a word. In fact, I declare it to be so, and declare that it now means "a morsel of the food that tastes best but is the worst for you".
