I'm planning on giving my dad a copy of Allyson's book for Christmas. Unsurprisingly, I'm fine with the notion of him posting here.
You like ships. You don't seem to be looking at the destinations. What you care about is the ships, and mine's the nicest.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My mother read my chapter when she was here. I gave her a dirty look and their own copy of the book when I was last back.
She promptly hid it because Allyson only mentioned her when she signed it. I have no idea of the book's status because I was laughing too hard.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I can't imagine my parent's coming here, even if the read the book. They would still be confused by the whole thing.

Schadenfreude. And the kicker is, he should be grateful: they haven't got him on tax evasion charges (yet).
I wonder if he and Martha Stewart will create a support group?

My parent bought a copy and enjoyed it. Mom loved "The Internet Wants Your Daughters." Which reminds me, I need to remember to pack my copy.
Waiting for washers.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
I just totally skipped 300 messages because my LJ homepage (which I still hate, yet do find useful because it lists things like birthdays) informed me about someone's birthday.
Happy Birthday, sumi!!!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday sumi!
I can't see my parents here, since I've had to explain the idea of ISPs at least a few times over the last few years.(In other words, they don't totally get that AOL is not the Internet)

Hmm. There are now print header sheets printed before every job on the colour printer. I just spent many minutes watching 4 copies of a long and colourful PDF print out--a job that had been sitting half done until I showed up and refilled the paper tray so I could get my one sheet that really does need to be printed in colour to present all the information.
So they know who the bad guy is--but he's the highest ranked guy on the floor so I don't think his knuckles will be rapped unless he motes it be.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
It's still weird, you know. I wrote a book. Weird.
I read the chapter about Nilly visiting America to Wallybee. She got a real kick out of it. She knew I got a lot of support here before, but I think that chapter made it real to her. (Plus, she thought it was hysterical comparing my post to the others.)

LAUNDRY DONE.
... it was just such a monumental ordeal of shuffling other people's laundry and waiting and up and down the stairs and...ok, so I don't have anything else.
And I had to tape the last 15 minutes of Ugly Betty to deal with it.
