Buffy ,'Selfless'
[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.
Tep, I'm glad it doesn't appear to be serious.
So it looks like I will miss that adventure.
Heh. Trouble (the good kind) is more like it. I'm sorry I won't get the chance to meet you. Oh, and whatever Drew and Kristin say is completely false, unless it's flattering, in which case it's absolutely true.
edit: Yay, ChiKat!
SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!
The joy of every teacher and student. The dread of parents. Owen's finished on Thursday this week and I'm going to be counting the days until his summer program starts later this month.
Congratulations Stephanie and Lieutenant Colonel Joe! Go you!
Also, congrats to ChiKat for being done with school! I finished grading last night, so I am no longer bitter. We wave goodbye to the girls tomorrow and then I have to pack up my room, go to a few meetings, and sail into summer.
The joy of every teacher and student. The dread of parents.Yeah, that's very true. I am sorry for the parents...but not so sorry that I'm willing to stick around!
SCHOOL'S OUT FOR SUMMER!
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces
I can't think of many can't miss attractions. Most people come here for the shopping. Oh, and there's pretty decent food. We have celebrity chefs here and everything.
I don't want Ellie and Frisco to eel like they aren't from anywhere
I'm an Army brat, and don't identify with anywhere as "home", but it's not a problem.
Congrats teachers on making it through another year!
Congrats to Joe!
We moved a ton when I was a kid (my dad isn't in the service - he's in hospital administration). Never lived anywhere more than 3 years and that was a rarity. It was never a problem until we moved between my sophomore and junior years of high school. Terrible.
As for home, I always considered Greenville, SC home, but LA is my home now. I've been here longer than anywhere else.
Congratulations, Lt. Col. Joe! That's fantastic news!
San Francisco is my home. Or, it's Home. I was shocked, when the dot-com boom forced me to move to the East Bay, that Berkeley could also be a small-h home. And every time I've visited LA in the past decade or so, I've gotten a strong "Yeah, maybe not my first choice but I could definitely live here and be content" vibe. Considering the serious hate-on I have for the East Bay suburb I (resentfully) spent my childhood in, it appears that I'm not in general a California girl, but specifically a California city girl.
The only other places I've ever been that gave me a big HOME HERE feeling were Boston and Rome.
And, of course, wherever Hec and Matilda and Emmett are is home, but I suspect that we're all so bound to this city and this area that if we suddenly found ourselves in, say, Iowa, we'd feel very much like a family in exile.
This is our last week of school. I can't wait for it to be over. No more getting up at 6am to drive to school! No more scrambling for lunch money! No more fighting with kids about homework! Also, I can make them work for me now. It isn't quite the same having teens underfoot. When I had to keep them occupied and entertained it was much more complex.
