ooh Sox and d! I need information about Philly neighborhoods! Friends of mine are moving up there from here this fall and they are totally unfamiliar with the place. I only know it from the Franklin Institute and from going to hardcore shows back in high school so i'm no help at all.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

[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.

Do you have out of state plates? If so, I bet that they checked yours more closely because they knew that you wouldn't know the rules.
I had a rental, but from California. It mostly pisses me off because Kristin went to the trouble of getting the permit ($12!) and, despite my tiredness, I actually went back to make sure it was clearly visible on the dash.

You ain't lying. Crazy rain this morning - it was raining just light enough to fool me into walking to the train instead of driving. Halfway there, it turns into a torrential downpour in like 2 seconds. Rained like that for two minutes, then went back to drizzle. Stayed like that for two minutes and then a heavier downpour started all at once. Rinse (like a lot), lather, repeat.
Yikes. There has been a ton of warnings on the news, and it looks like Southern New Hampshire was totally slammed.

ah, a rental. That's why you got popped. They wouldn't have bothered to look so closely at a local vehicle.

Yes, the pass is not valid unless your license plate # is on it.
The guest parking passes in Berkeley were like this, too, and you had to tell the city the lic # when you picked up the pass until I, and people like me, complained that the city shouldn't have a list of people who were coming to town. MYOB city of Berkeley!
megan, I'm sorry they ticketed you, but my lizard lawyer brain is whispering, "strict liability offense." Which is the flip side of the fact that if the ticket writing officer had gotten the lic # wrong on the ticket you'd be excused from paying.

I need talking off the ledge, folks. In just over an hour, I'm going to be interviewed on camera for this site. I need hairpats and reassurances that I'll be charming.
t I'm not even going to TRY and close the "emotionally needy" tag right now

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Jilli, sweetie, you ARE charming. And it comes through no matter where you're broadcasting your bad self to.

Of course you'll be charming. Do the words Gothic Charm School mean nothing?!

Jilli, I can't get the site to load, but I am sure they are going to find you charming and endlessly fascinating, because you are.
Eep, the news is now wondering whether some of these storms are actually a tornado. Don't like.

Take a breath, Jilli, you come off very well. There's always an interesting contrast between the fancy of your fashion and the down to earth of your person.
The camera will love you.
