Seriously. I haven't listened to Marketplace in years and years. Why does this stuff get stuck in my brain?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Same reason I know Lysana's full name.

I was just listening to NPR in the car on my way to lunch. Bad plan to try and drive when they are doing interviews with the Virginia Tech people. So sad. They were talking about the RA at the dorm. 4.0 triple major senior and member of the marching band. I ended up not getting any lunch and just going back to the office.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What is even happening?
msbelle's the one that told me about TT after she found out I liked Buffy. I met her through her brother. Since I was in full lurker mode at the time, I'm sure I would never have gone to the first NY F2F if she hadn't been willing to go too.
Did you know msbelle's brother face-to-face, or online?

I'm disturbed that each report about the Virginia Tech shootings mentione that the shooter was a legal resident (but not a citizen).

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Well obviously a citizen wouldn't have caused this kind of harm. I mean, come on. It's only them furriners that will kill and harm Amurrican Cit'zens.
Oh. Wait.

I agree Kat, but it think it has a lot to do with having so little information. They give the info they do know.
