It is their ability to protect electronics from sweaty actors that adds condoms to the list.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[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.

Protection from sweaty actors is a good reason for condoms in general. IJS.

OK, ND, what are the condoms for, their stretchability or their ability to contain, well, stuff?
Yes.

We've also spend a good while learning how to give directions in sign, which is sort of fun:
Hah! See, that made me crazy (though I was taking it 5 hours a day ONCE a week, so that made it seem like we were on that unit FOREVER)--I was like "Damnit, i want to be able to TALK to people, and not just give them directions!!" Plus another semester was a whole thing about describing a room, and explaining where the couch was, and where the table was, etc, which...how often do you find yourself needing to do that? And then there was a whole unit on nationalities, which was interesting in the "so the sign for Chinese USED to be this, which is really offensive, so now it's this instead...", but again...I felt like I took three semesters of sign before I could actually have any sort of conversation at all.

Hee. We did that unit a few days ago. I'm wondering about the sign for Germany -- the "old" one was a swastika, but the "new" one is a finger on top of the head like the point on a Prussian helmet -- I'm wondering if that's an even older sign that got resurrected.
I felt like I took three semesters of sign before I could actually have any sort of conversation at all.
Yeah. A few days ago, when I was waiting for the campus shuttle outside Union Station, someone came up to me and asked (in sign) whether this was where you get the Gallaudet shuttle, and I answered that yes, it is, and he asked if I was deaf, and I said no, I'm hearing, but I'm taking the ASL 1 class. And that was the first conversation I had in sign not with a classmate. But I really can't converse about anything outside that sort of very basic level.

Can we go next week? It was delicious.
Sure. I guess that's where we'll go for brunch before shipping you back on the train.
I'm so jet-lagged I can't see straight.
Then your aim will probably improve, Drew.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oooh, Cafe Flora! With the toy house across the street. And the yummy food. Say hello to it for me, please.
Brenda, the place looks fantastic, congratulations!
And Deena! I'm SO impressed--Endicott Studios, wow!

With the toy house across the street.I know! So cute!
Of course it turns out that their brunch is only Sat and Sun and they don't seem to have the grits on the menu otherwise and so I am a bit bereft. And considering trying to figure out how to make them myself.
