Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

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

So it's kind of like spring break, but for nerds and the socially inept?

What does that make ComicCon?

I just shopped at J Jill online. I feel...I never liked anything in their stores. I hope it ends well.

Happy birthday, flea and Nilly!

All this September birthing energy. Watch me get distracted and miss my sister's birthday in a week or so. That's a hanging offense in these (and all) parts.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

What does that make ComicCon?

Spring break for the nerds and literate.

(And just for that touch of irony, I had to double check my spelling of 'literate'.)

Our wings are not tired.

What did you buy, Ita?

For the first time over, I bought shoes online (Monday). I purchased the exact same Merrill's I already own (which are falling apart from living in them) and then a couple of others in the same brand. I've finally given in to the fact that at 38 I have "old woman's" feet and 90% of my days need to be spent in practically orthopedic footwear.

that part of Ireland is my most favorite place on Earth, if not for the pulled Murphy's alone! I am so envious of your move.

Cool!

Now you, and all the other Buffistas, have good reason to come visit. Ireland F2F!

Budget constraints might limit us to visiting an Irish pub when we're in Kansas City or Minneapolis. :)

There will be no dissing of the Dragon*Con!

To explain: people have been pissing all over my opinions and the things that I like, lately and I'm so totally grumpy and oversensitive to everything that I may just have to put myself in an isolation chamber with my TiVo of the U.S. Open.

Punishingly Intricate

If you tell us what day it is I'm sure people here will remind you! There's no need for hangin'!

Cork is where my people are from mostly. And some of them are still there! I've really been needing to get over there.

I have a question. Week before last I put in, oh, about 10 extra hours of work. Or a bit more. I just got my paystub and it looks like I'm getting paid for those extra hours. Now, I'm a salaried exempt employee. I shouldn't be paid overtime, right?? I wasn't expecting it. I sure would appreciate the money but I'm thinking I better say something.

Can I send my boyfriend to hang out in your chamber with you? He can't stop watching the US Open. And I have two seasons of The Office (US) to catch up on dvd! Priorities, people!

I shouldn't be paid overtime, right??
Not if you're salaried. Hate to say it, but ya better ask.

DragonCon has probably around 50,000 people at its busiest, maybe more. If you can find a single thing that everyone has in common, I will give you a cookie.

And yeah, since shrift and I have been going for several years, I'd hopefully question the socially inept part. I'll happily lay claim to "nerd."

I've always said that the secret to a good relationship is two bathrooms and two TVs. And now I add two Tivos.
