Can't any one of your damn little Scooby club at least try to remember that I hate you all?

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I realized something ugly about myself: I've been looking forward to the "my turn" and was disappointed to think it might not happen.

You know, I think its sort of beautiful that family and friends come together and all add a piece of the puzzle when a couple begins building a life together. And I think its beautiful that they do it with nice things and not just any old whatever. I suspect this is how it has pretty much always been. You've been a part of this any number of times and I don't think its unreasonable or particularly selfish that you want the same celebration when your new family begins.

oh, ita. I'm sorry. I now it doesn't mean anything. But I am.

AND you've reminded me, I have a polgara favor to ask!

I KNOW.

And you don't have enough thunderstorms. And that whole earthshaking thing. And housing cost, uhg. And me and my ineptitude.

I wish it didn't take 8 hours to cross the country.

Cause you need to be able to get here RIGHT NOW. Esp. since the baby is extra cute.

Well, yeah.

That was inEPTitude. I just can't type. Proof.

Can take care of babies, though. In fact, they make me very happy, even when really pissed off.

Every once in a while? I consider the west coast. I really don't think it is the right place for me, but the peoples make that hard to call. Where's my teleporter?

I'm telling you. Move now! Babies are little and cute.

Heh. I wish. A lot of things. One reason I think I like kidlets so much is that I know what to do with them. As incredibly intense as they are, it's very primal. I can do primal. It's all reaction and snuggles and not being overwhlemed. Much less complicated than adults. They have WORDS.

Sheesh.

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

In the interest of full disclosure I should reveal that my head hurts WAY less than it did this morning. I was pretty much at an all time low. I'd be terribly grateful to Polgara even if it hadn't worked a bit, but it did, and her time was put to use.
