Happy birthday Gadget Girl!
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

[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.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I am an idiot. I was all proud of myself for leaving this morning early enough that I would be able to get a tea before therapy. Only, when I got there, no wallet. I'm glad I at least had my passport and my checkbook, because I was able to cash a check and buy myself lunch.

move out and draw fire
I still have 45 minutes before I can leave, and in the meantime I'm feeling all bloated and irritable, and people are being wrong all over the internet.
People are being wrong all over my life. Last week one of my cow-orkers kept talking about how Obama is Muslim. His cube-neighbor is in fact Muslim and was like "Dude, chill."
Then yesterday, the daycare manager was saying the same thing. I commented, "He converted" as I was passing through, and was informed that "Muslims can't ever convert. He's lying."
I thought...well, a lot of things, but opted to bite my tongue. It's not like this guy's going to vote anyway, and if he doesn't it won't be for the Democratic nominee.

Oh, Raq, I feel your pain. My hostess in St. Thomas went on and on and on about that. As a matter of fact, she's so convinced about this that she's convinced herself it's all a conspiracy to turn America into a Muslim nation...that's the only reason the Muslim's haven't killed Obama, is because his "conversion" is a hoax and all part of the greater plan.
Poor sj! I hope the rest of your day goes better.

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
"Muslims can't ever convert. He's lying."
Wouldn't you have to, oh, BELIVE in a religion to assert that someone cannot convert from it?

I've heard the "Muslims aren't allowed to convert" thing too, and it's just so baffling. I know that in some Muslim countries there are legal penalties for converting to another religion, but do these people think Obama has some kind of chip in his brain or programming that prevents him from believing anything else?

Apparently, it's in the Koran.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
My hostess in St. Thomas went on and on and on about that.

What is the matter with me, that I'm still capable of being surprised that people not only parrot this shit, but actually believe it?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
You know, if I actually heard people saying these things my head would explode, but getting the ideas third-handed or so they are kind of fascinating in their wrong-headedness.
