I look more rad than Lutheranism

I think funny to older nerd like me.

That's hilarious!

I feel like we were about ten seconds away from being in a very nerdy porno.

I would never, EVER want to give my child the impression that his/her core identity is unacceptable. If your *parents* don't accept who you are, starting at age 3, that's just about the ultimate negation.

Once again, I am immensely thankful that my parents, while by no means perfect, never once questioned my strange interests. "You want to go to the library and check out books about spells and charms so you can protect yourself from the monsters in the closet? Sure! You want to marry Dracula when you grow up? Well, if you really want to, fine."

I skimmed - someone had a question about Rozerem? It is a take-as-you-need med. I stopped using it because I was one of the unlucky "may cause or intensify depression" side-effect sufferers.

You two have annual passes also, right?

Alas, we do not. GF is not a "cast member," but rather a lowly contractor. We are going on free passes though that she got from others at work. Also we should go down! Always up for D'land.

Strangely enough, I was just talking about Rozerem with a friend last night. Her boyfriend takes it and thinks it's the best thing ever, but she said it makes her feel like a truck ran her over every morning. It's so funny how body chemistry changes medications' effects.

Ah, bummer. But yes, we shall go anyway! I get out of school in early June, so let's find a time then. Whee!

Me! From what my doctor said, I thought it maybe had to build up in your system, but I see not. Thanks, everyone! What I really need is something that will make me drowsy for about one, two hours, then disappear entirely. Alas, the only things that make me sleep at 10 PM seem to make me still asleep at 10 AM.

Sonata. That worked awesome for me. Or, half an Ambien. The Rozerem should work fine for you, just be aware of how your mood is.

Half an Ambien has been my godsend on insomnia-wrought nights.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

What's a tactful way to say "No presents" on a birthday party invitation for a 1-year old? (I know it's a month off, but I am Miss Plannypants today.) We have way too much stuff already.

(I mean, I know the grandparents will get us presents no matter what we say, but I don't want anyone to feel pressured into bringing something.)

Maybe I should tell people to bring food for the party instead of gifts.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Food for the party is good, and suggest an org for donations (first book? msbelle's orphanage (which now looks so very wrong, written out like that)? some other kid-focused charity?) for the generosity overflow. People really want to give gifts even when they rationally understand that you don't want the stuff.

And I'm pretty sure there's no way to stop grandparents.

I've seen phrasing along the lines of presents should be presence... or something.

Man, it's so oppressively hot and stuffy in my office, I can't even think.
