Timelies all!
Thanks for the hugs and sympathy, folks.
I'm currently at Confluence in Pittsburgh, posting from G's laptop. I have bought a copy of paperdol's book from the dealer I gave the book info to months ago. Yay!
We killed a homeless man on this bench. Me and Dru. Those were good times. You know, he begged for mercy, and you know, that only made her bite harder.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
A dealer at the Con, Sheryl?

amych, a used Saturn Vue. Yes. I have become that SUV-driving in lieu of minivan person. It's a 2004 with 26,000 miles and it's shiney! K wouldn't let me buy the canary yellow one, but this one is better as it was cheaper, with fewrer miles AND a manual transmission which I love.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Awesome! (Also, my boss has a Vue, which she bought as an SUV-not-minivan mom car, and she loves it. No shame there.)

The woman I coteach with at UCLA has a Vue and I like it a lot. Plus manual transmission is a winner for me, but I'm weird like that.

ita, my offer to help was totally a bald attempt at just getting to see you. And maybe bumming a piece of cake off of you.

I appreciate the offer in all its facets. Bumper repair will be a highly scheduled thing. And I kinda gave away most of the cake yesterday.
Today's going to be me sleeping and hoping I can put in a brief appearance at a double-celebration party. Maybe tomorrow afternoon?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Our hotel room got updated to a suite with a balcony. I did not see Colin, but Polgara chapeau'd at him and he chapeau'd back.
I gave Joss a copy of Vampire People, he said to sign it so I did. And then he walked off carrying it cover-out while getting his pic taken with fans. Nice!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
So Cool, paperdol.
