The election isn't until 2008, which means there won't be a new administration until January 2009.

Ouch. Truly incorrect. And I'm the reason stupid people end up making bumper stickers.

Yeah, but still. I think that's a little harsh.

For one thing, the Nov 08 date is the one most people will recognize. You didn't see "Bush Cheney 05" or "Kerry 05" or ehatever stickers - I'd consider the "4" years an acceptible shorthand. Also, practically speaking, adminstrations end with the election, even if the next one doesn't start until Jan. 'Course, with this bunch, they could be flinging bombs and looting the treasury during the interim.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I'm just pretty sure that life can and does go on outside of b.org and even if it is not chronicled on b.org. CRAZY.

Ah, got it. Very cute, msbelle.

ita, please say hi to your sister for me. It seems like just yesterday she was hiding from the incredibly scary bloodless battles featured in "King Arthur."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You don't make any sense.

My brother has a whole theory about squalling infants being adorable even as they squall allowing for the perpetuation of the species.

I'm a good example, being fairly immune to squalling because they are just so cute. Then they trick you with adorkable stories and stuff.

I think their developmental steps are ahead of rational response.

So did I or did I not exist for the last two years?

Also, I really need to go to my friend's house. I suppose I should brush my hair or something.

Hard to say!

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

She is crazy, right, Ali? It's not just me imagining her as crazy?

::big sigh::

::big sigh also at msbelle and her shortsightedness::

::sigh at the nasal spray narcotic::

I DON'T WANT TO TAKE THIS! Today I've taken pills, syrup, injected myself while in the lobby of my office, and now I have to assemble a snorting mechanism and...eww.

Maybe I should stick with the pain.

Okay, I'm a big girl. I can do this.

Interestingly enough, at the point in the ER visit yesterday where they believed I knew what I was talking about meds-wise they totally switched up. Showed me the amounts of all of the meds and asked me if that was okay, and what order I'd like them injected in. I guess my doctor told them the magic word.

Oh, who wants to point the crazy finger, really?

Your day sounds awesome, ita. Would you like to come to my birthday party? I would let you have cake. You wouldn't have to snort it or anything.

If it is any consolation (and I know it isn't) I use nasal saline sprays and things like afrin periodically. Same principle, I think. Well the afrin, anyway. Porous tissue, fast & efficient absorption.

Saline is more of a flush, I guess. Man, that's gross.
