If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Okay, what's interesting is that there's one whole conference that gets a perfect score. It looks like the problematic people cluster on particular teams. (And why am I not surprised that New England scores a 0? Bill Belichick has been known to get rid of players because he didn't like how they talked; I imagine if one of his players got arrested he might have the offender roasted on a spit.)

It certainly puts the lie to the people who argue that the league just can't do anything about it.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Teddy seems to like the '50s, especially doo wop and "Vegas." I'm not sure about our other two.

Now tagless for your comfort.

tiggy, I'm laying odds Vick won't return. The NFL may be able to look past the dogfighting, but it won't overlook the gambling. The only reason he pled was because they were looking to add gambling charges to the case--which he was way more frightened off, since it would kill his chances of ever returning to the league.

They've got enough on him to ban him for life and I hope they do the right thing and do it.

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

Mnnf. Developed another bad migraine so I got a chance to use the injectable Imitrex.

And then I went back to bed, missing my first meeting of the day. Oops. Off to join the working world now.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Ahem. shrift (and Jilli when you get here): MySpace is streaming a 6-hour concert of Projekt Revolution today, starting at 1:30 Pacific, 4:30 Eastern. Which I'm sure you already knew about, but I'd though I'd alert you to the imminence of Gerard Way. And Brian Molko. Basically, a bunch of cute, short, eyelinered guys will be jumping around on your internets today.

I dunno. I followed brenda's lead and wikipediad Ray Lewis. Either participating with, or only consorting with murderers hasn't seemed to slow him down at all. Oh, wait, he missed a Pro Bowl game. Oh, the humanity.

Oh, and b.org isn't a chat room, as I define it. Chat rooms aren't static like our posts are. Communication is happening much closer to real time. No meara there.

Interesting. And good to know.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, we're definitely not a chat room.

Which reminds me of something I was thinking about the other day.... you know the internet is full of pervs who want to steal your daughters and etc., right? When I was in high school, and friend of mine and I wrote letters to guys in prison who had put personal ads in the National Enquirer. Seriously?!?!? Yes, and of course they had to have an address to write us back. Were we nuts? Possibly. Did anything bad actually happen? No.
