Sorry to hear that, Allyson. Anything we can do? Smiting?
You want to meet the real me now?

I'm having such a bad day.
Me too Allyson.
Day is defective.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just read that in Buenos Aires, people are routinely 2-3 hours late for social events.
My parents recently went to a baby shower that was billed as starting at 7, so they got there at 7:30. The guests of honor didn't get there until 9 or something! They are Puerto Rican, but still. (My parent realized on the way that they should have pushed it to 8, but had no idea it would be SO late.)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Bleah, I'm tired. I really don't like waking up at random times during the night. I especially don't like it when I wake up because I have a leg cramp.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.
Starting meetings late gets on my last nerve. It wasn't a problem in the PNW, but it is horrible in LA.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
late people, like 2 hours late, can't be my friends or family. I will not wait.

And on the flip side, the first time my mother had a dinner party after moving from NYC to the midwest she was horrified when guests showed up right on time and she was still unshowered and in her bathrobe.

This was me on the Eastern Shore. Also, once I promised to help a guy I was dating set up for guests. I arrived about the time of the party and he was mad because I was so late. Sure enough, someone arrived just after me.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

IME you're not expected to show up to parties on time, but a dinner party can't be that late, because the meal is timed.

I would plan to serve dinner an hour after the stated time of a party, but would still expect people to show up relatively close to the time. But I show up nearly everywhere on time!
