I look more rad than Lutheranism

Those wax lips are perfect! I LOVE the keyboard keys idea.

Those wax fangs are excellent! They match your Web site, don't they?

Allyson, I don't know how many goodie bags you want to make and/or how much you want to spend, but you can get computer-shaped squeezy thingies (like stress balls, but not ball-shaped): [link]

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Also..."Things that make you go squee!"

Dude. I don't squee.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I don't squee.

Stop fronting.

Can someone make a law against speakerphones in cubicles or offices whose doors are open?

You can do what a friend of mine did to make another friend stop listening to her voicemail on speaker from her cube, and leave them dirty voicemails... If you think it would help?

I don't quite know these people, so it would not be interpreted in a way that makes me comfortable.

I think there should be a Buffista talent show, with fashions by Jilli, readings, theremin, and martial arts demonstrations.

Thank god I have no demonstrable talent.

Jon, the article was very cool!

Allyson, I think ripping up your old keyboard and putting keys in the goody bags is a clever idea.

Heh. With a whole section on how to manage petticoats while out shopping or on the bus.

From waaaaay back, a comment of ita's

I think it's because I was culling pictures of Dita Von Teese for provocateuse last night, and feel guilty for not being more glamourous.

Then again, it's her job.

makes me realize (once again!) that I need to figure out how to make being elaborately gothy my day job. I'd like to have my eccentricities support me.

Oy, I wish I could too. Instead I have to rely on talents, and mostly not the fun ones.

Then again, there is a school of thought (which might be mine--shut up) that I have no eccentricities.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Allyson, your book release party is going to be on a weekend, right?
