GC, they're pretty, but yeah, I would worry that something white would get awfully stained. Because with me, it would. Because I'm a spaz like *that*.

Annabel humor:

Last night I was reading the new Temeraire book while Annabel was playing in the living room. At one point I laughed aloud, and she demanded an explanation. It wasn't the sort of humor that would make sense to anyone who isn't familiar with the book's world, much less to a 3-year-old, so after a moment's thought I said I was laughing because a dragon was acting like a pirate. (For anyone who's read or is about to read the book, it was Iskierka's first botched attempt at being capturing a naval prize.)

Annabel considered this for a moment, sat next to me on the couch, and followed the text with her finger as if she were reading it. She then gave a big fake laugh. When I asked her what was so funny, she said the dragon was walking the plank, and that was silly.

Remember what you said about being her role model, when she selects a book to take to class?

Role Model 2: Electric Readaloo.

(Seriously, I think that's super cool!) (Plus, a dragon walking the plank IS silly.)

That's cute, Susan. She's nautically educated.

At krav, the standard porn add-on involves your sister. I tried that, but I'd actually met the guy involved's sisters. It was too weird. Mostly I take an individual approach to each porning, but a "and that's how I like it" is pretty multi-purpose.

The key thing among the porny hard-hitters (and that's how I like it) is to embroil themselves in the porn before anyone else does. Tyros insult. We shock.

I also like the way Sparky's brain works. How awesome would some Stickley look in your new house? Freakin' really awesome!

"Sounds like my dates" has evolved into a scoring game (Sounds Like My Dates -- The Gathering) and a musical ("Sounds Like My Dates -- The Musical!").

For some reason, this cracks me up hardcore.

My house is empty!! Just the bathroom and fridge are full. The bathroom has all my stuff that I'm travelling with, in it, and the fridge just needs to have everything thrown out. Eeeeee!!

And can I say, even though they had a big pissing match, it was SUPER nice to have people come and pack up my shit and move it all? I didn't really have to lift a finger all day. SWEET!

Now: Does anyone have Emily S's number? She emailed me about getting together, but didn't include her number, and I suspect she may already be on the road...

Emily S, like my former roommate Emily S?

Yep, VW--could you send me her #? (Um, i assume she has a cell?) IM or email would work, if it's OK.

I don't see you on IM. I'll jump into e-mail and send it to you.
