Postcards From Your Momma
I don't know how I wasn't aware of this site before. It makes me feel SO much better about my weird mom.
Although I could probably send most of her e-mails to them -- they would definitely qualify.
Mal: If anyone gets nosy, just, you know... shoot 'em. Zoe: Shoot 'em? Mal: Politely.
'Serenity'
Natter 58: Let's call Venezuela!
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I wish I had some classics from my mother. Although I don't know that they'd translate. However, every one closes with "xoxo MOM," which is charming, I think.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
Huh, Kat. It looks like Mickey vomits shaved ice into your cone. Not as disturbing as a Hello Kitty vibrator, anyway.

I share because I care.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Oh my god, how did they get my mom to write all the emails on that site. (Except the zumanity one.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, my mother has the rhythm of many of those mothers too. Bless.
Just had a meeting where people talked too much. What's the deal with examples? I mean, once you've actually conveyed the information, move on! Don't wrap it up with a metaphor. Everybody gets it! Your analogy is not insightful or interesting, and we could have been out of there fifteen minutes earlier if any of you could recognise a point when you see it.

My mom's emails are very letterly. In fact, whenever I email her, I end up trying to clean mine up a bit so she won't think...I don't know what I don't want her to think. I mean, I usually write complete thoughts with fairly decent grammar and spelling. I do avoid acronyms with her, for sure. And then there are my brother's emails that read like a crazed monkey wrote them in chatspeak, so why should I worry?
Long day. Yay baby pictures! So big!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
My mom doesn't send me e-mail. If an e-mail must be sent, my dad will do it. Mainly my mom uses the computer to play solitaire. Oh, well...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
My mom and I talk on the phone almost every day, so not a lot of emails. She does forward anti-Bush political jokes.

So I went looking through old emails to see if I had saved any funny ones from mom. It looks like no. One with the subject "Broadway tickets?" opens with "Andrew got 5-10 in Walpole." Ugh. But it does still close xoxo MOM.
