I have significant doubt that I'll marry, but if I do, I don't think even my mother's strongest guilt trip could keep me from eloping. Hi, being the center of attention: DO NOT WANT.
Ah, Shrift and I are as one.
Although we cannot share our hypothetical future spouses, because I'm not good at sharing.
I'm going to be in y'all's neck of the woods at the end of September for Folsom Street Fair.
How did I miss this?? SWEET! Vortex is also attempting to beat the universe into place so she can come, and Aimee was making noises about coming, too. I will, of course, be rumbling up in my bike. Need a ride?
JEALOUS. The Boy and I talked about coming to SF for Folsom, but (1) we both needed a vacation sooner than FSF [NEXT WEEK, BABY!!!!]; (2) I loathe crowds, even of kinky people; and (3) The Boy has ADD, and guarantee that I would lose him in the crowd within 3 minutes, even if I had him on a leash, because he would see something shiny and take off like Lee in The Castro.
Bah! Makes me think of my brother's very non-traditional wedding. The maid of honor (the bride's sister) wore thigh high boots, and when it came time for my SIL to read her vows, she turned to the MOH, who promptly unzipped her boot and removed the folded piece of paper. ;)
I believe I also, after he finished his memorized vows, and I realized I was going to be the only one reading them, said- in front of family and assorted loved ones to my future husband-"You shit!"
even if I had him on a leash
well, it's not like anyone would look at you funny.
the universe is conspiring against me for FSF. I have a meeting in LA on the 5th, the plan was to come up for the weekend, do some recruitment in SF on Monday, then fly to LA, do some recruitment there and then go to my meeting on the 5th. Great plan, right? Fly in the ointment is that I've been asked to attend a meeting with the president of the university on the 1st. grrr. I'm hoping he'll be busy (someone else has requested the meeting)
Sorry about your news Sophia. It's hard when someone you know dies long before their time.
Here's how I envision my wedding ceremony: The bride and I each roll down the aisle in our own human-sized hamster balls.
I saw a human-sized hamster ball on "Mythbusters", very entertaining.
Can I just state for the record that I seriously loathe PowerPoint? I'm preparing slides for an upcoming presentation that I can do off the top of my head without a problem. Trying to "bulletize" it, though, is impossible and frustrating. I want to just do the talk, damn it!
Powerpoint is evil. When I am forced to use presentation software I go with Keynote.
Gloom- try doing the slides when you are not the person doing the presentation. It it REALLY hard.
