[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.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Is it wrong that my first thought was "it's just like something out of Merrkat Manor!"?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
And the little animated banner at the top of the page! I loved that. Lorne with his wee head!

Hey Raq, in cleaning my apartment, I found a bulletin board/whiteboard thing that was left at the DC F2F that I think was yours. Is it?
I'm rereading one of the Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Botswana seems like a neat place. Though I know that basing a "that place sounds neat" decision on a novel isn't always a good idea.

I dunno - I went to live in Canada for a year in no small part because of the Anne of Green Gables movie and a couple of Charles de Lint books. Loved it! (....er, and I've had exactly the same respone to the Number 1 Ladies Detective Agency books too, actually.)
Obviously, I'm pretty much the poster girl for 'Go Foreign Parts! Choose Foreign Parts!', but I'd think that your experiences in Israel will have given you a pretty good sense of how much you thrive in different circumstances - and I got the impression that you enjoyed that a lot.
So I vote Botswana! Extend the Buffista Diaspora!
(...whaddaya mean I don't get a vote? Pah!)

For traveling, I think it's a fabulous idea! For moving and living somewhere, maybe not so much. [ETA: OTOH, if I means I have someone to visit in new exotic places, I"m all for that!]
Hi Raq!! I hope May is saner too!! Especially if that means we see you more!
Ay. Thank god I got my new health insurance yesterday--I called today to make an appointment for new migraine meds, cause this shit ain't cutting it. Today is the fourth migraine in two weeks.

Hey Fay--how is November in Thailand? My best friends wants to go, and I'm convincing her to wait until fall-ish, so I would theoretically have vacation time...

Well, right now, I'm still working on getting a few things sent out for publication this summer, and then getting all my applications put together (I so should have kept better track of what talks I gave when -- I spent a few hours a few weeks ago going through my file drawer finding the notes from each talk and hoping I'd put dates at the top of them), and then interviews, and then seeing who'll hire me. One of my friends who's graduating this year needs to stay in the DC area because of her husband's job (he's a doctor), and she's having a lot of trouble finding something with that much of a restriction.
