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!

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!

So Cool, paperdol.
