OMG, I'm such a dope. I just noticed my phone was out of battery, and had been since at least some time yesterday. Oops.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Shit I didn't say today:
Dude, you are looking at the same piece of paper I am, and you are supposed to be the expert. Why the hell are you asking me what it means?
I did it that way because that's the way your secretary told me you wanted it. It's not my frelling fault she had it wrong or that you haven't bothered paying attention for over 5 years.

Oh god, Lee, I had one of those last month, at a monthly meeting. Big Boss was all, "What on earth is this? Why is it like this??" Um, it's the same thing it's been every month for the past year? And it's like that because I thought that was what it was supposed to be.

HATE THAT, especially since he asked me right in front of his secretary, and I had no choice but to say "see, that line, right there, on the form your secretary sent me, the one that says do it x way? That's why I did it x way."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh yeah, that's even worse. Mine, all I could say was, "I was pretty sure from looking back that that's what I was supposed to do..."

They both suck.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Am back from Seattle. Saw many sights. Had fun. Very tired now, and have lost pronouns...again.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
There will be no dissing of the Dragon*Con!
Damn straight. I've been twice, loved it. Last year I timed my visit to the US so I could go. Geekdom, IMO, is all about one's enthusiasm for one's interests, and DragonCon gets that. I love that you get so many different fandoms gracing the place. Trekkies, Star Wars, D&D (that's what draws me, of course), military period costumes, there were some great Dr Who outfits last year, superheroes, and all the rest of them. The most disturbing outfit I saw last year was a guy dressed up as Gene Simmons, and that's just excellent. Gene Simmons! Hell, I wouldn't regard it as out of the question to find Richard Simmons there. I want to live in a world where I can turn a corner and be surprised by a guy with a shaved head in a pink tutu and a backpack in the shape of the head of Animal from the Muppets. board games, and the shopping is so much fun. (Oh, and last time I ate lunch at the next table over from Ralph Malph and Pottsie. The guest speaker list always contains nifty surprises.)
It's an experience. There may be better Cons for D&D, but none of them can hope to match DragonCon for the experience. (I really hope I can take Wallybee sometime, I think she'd get a real kick out of it. Though then I couldn't spend most of the day playing D&D.)

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
I disagree. I think that it doesn't matter what you lied about, but that you lied.
No, I can't go there. Lied about your personal life, lied about intelligence about, say, a foreign country's weapons program. Not the same thing at all.
I don't blame Clinton for lying about Monica; I don't blame Craig for lying about the bathroom. I think they both should face whatever shame comes with those actions, definitely. In Craig's case, the distance between what he practiced and what he preached is enormous. And really, he can preach whatever he wants - what he legislates is the biggie. If it weren't for that, I could give a damn. I could give a damn about Vitter too, again, if it weren't for the fact that they were actively trying to penalize anyone who thought and behaved like them.
Meara, in my head, he'll always be MAYOR FOR LIFE MARION BARRY. Also, go you!
