On my seventh birthday, I wanted a toy fire truck, and I didn't get it, and you were real nice about it, and then the house next door burnt down, and then real firetrucks came, and for years I thought you set the fire for me. And if you did, you can tell me!

[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.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

It is far too early to already be sitting on my plane waiting to leave for NYC.

So you're leaving on a jet plane? Don't know when you'll be back again?

Our wings are not tired

Except for the fact that I get back Wednesday. At 2:30.

I've got just slightly less than a week to come up with going-away presents for people who are going to live in very foreign countries and don't need any more stuff. Feel free to chip in!

Also, dear God, overseeing exams is boring. I can't just leave them to it, because what with working on their assignments at computers nestled up next to each other the opportunity for talking is just too tempting, but I also can't help them, so I just... stroll.

Y'all should just fly out here and be locals for the duration of the World Series! Yes, I like this plan.

I like this plan too! Now all we need is a buttload of cash and a good excuse to take a week off work...

All is well that ends in pizza.

Reading material for the trip, maybe?

I think your most scientifically sound option is to buy some lottery tickets.

ETA: that was in response to Jars, not Emily!

Oh, I think they've pretty much planned that out already. They're pretty serious readers in their own rights. I did think about a subscription to audible.com or something, but I don't think they have mp3 players.

Then maybe an MP3 player?

Two steps ahead of you!

What about various guide books for wherever it is they're heading to, Emily?

Ignore my dead-eyed look. I wasn't sure where the lens was pointed and the flash took me by surprise.

It's healing really well, and it's so gorgeous.

My job starts with training on Thursday, and I really want to do well so they'll keep me on once the christmas season has passed. It's totally my dream job, and I still can't believe I have it! Yay!

I start French classes this afternoon. Man, life is so crazy and busy, which is so different from a month ago that I can barely keep track of myself. But I think I've finally cleared a lot of the really shitty stuff, and finally I'm getting to the happy part of this excursion.

Emily, you must be in midterms now, right?
