[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Trust me: F2F Prom is waaaaayy more exciting than HS Prom. Slightly sexier outfits, and (thank Jesus) way more fucking booze. Ahem. Way more open, legal booze.

Although our Prom's DJ is gonna be hot, and frankly, my students are fucking awesome dancers.

Midwest? Really? I haven't been to a F2F in a couple years...KC is great for conventions, et. al.

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

I am Prom advisor this year. Kill. Me. NOW.

points and laughs

Think of the fun you could have in imposing a theme, though!!

"Dreams Last Forever"

That is the theme. And the colors are white, silver and ice blue.

I would have "Sexy Motherfucking Biting Things" and black, silver and forest green. I'm saving that theme for my wedding.

"Dreams Last Forever"

"But Reality Is A Bitch"?

Still not able to get ahold of HR guy. Left a message...I think. It beeped. I left like, ten seconds of a message, then there was the automatic voice saying something, and I have no idea what happened. Ah well. Will have to call him tomorrow.

Is the HR guy in Seattle, meara? If so he may yet call you back. If he says starting salary is not negotiable, don't forget to ask if you can have a performance review in 6 months where you could get a raise. Remember, they want you, they want you to schelpp x-country, and I can't believe that any company doesn't expect to be negotiated with these days.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Man I can't get ahold of anybody today, meara. Maybe it's "Don't return your phone calls" day and we forgot to write it on our calendars.

Well, he just called me back from his cellphone (tricksy man! has a different area code!) and I gave it a shot, and he said he'd talk to to the people tomorrow and look at it (and blah blah blha, have to make sure it's similar to people with similar titles/experience, blah blah blah). So fingers continue to be crossed.

Ion... I have googled and wikied and even visited the offical Paul Gross website (oh my!) and I can't figure out what the heck are Paul Gross arms. Anyone care to enlighten me?

My car is fixed! I spent today on the bus trying to get to places that might have a bolt that met the specs--Grade 8 metal, specific length. The car place didn't have one, the building supply place didn't have one, Home Despot did. Hubby installed the new bolt, and I took it on a brief drive to make sure all the pedals works.

I had made arrangements for a ride tomorrow, but I have not been able to confirm one-to-one that specifics--such as my address--are in the possession of my ride. I stupidly did not get his non-work number to tell him I don't need the ride. Unless he happens to check his voice mail at work, he doesn't have my address. That voice mail also has my home phone number, which he hasn't called. He lives near me, but he leaves half an hour after I do (supervisors in offices have more leeway than tech support with defined shifts). I'd rather drive myself, but I hate to not be here in case he stops by.

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

To do...

  • Write paper that was due Monday (got extension to tonight)
  • Do laundry
  • Pack for FLORIDA!!!

My aunt is doing a big Persian dinner Friday night and my dad is taking us all out to PF Changs Saturday night. Beyond that....no clue. I have never spent more than a few hours with the folks from my dad's side of the family. And it is just me, no kids to hide behind.

But still - 4 days AWAY!!!!!
