I'm taking out my frustration with my mother by dealing with the stupid on a thread over at Smart Bitches. Dialogue is by and large reasoned, but there's the odd asswipe who thinks that an academic trying to ruin someone's writing career isn't that big a thing.
Captain was looking for a pilot. I found a husband. Seemed to work out.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[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.

And Sean, since I'm new to posting on the board, I don't know all the details of what went down, but I do see that it's taken quite a toll on you and I can empathize, since I've been in bad places like that before-- I'm so very sorry and hope that things improve soon.

Our wings are not tired.
Safe flight, Sean. California missed you. I could even feel it up here!
Barb, I am still annoyed that in our evening together we never thought to take a picture! But that was a grand, grand evening.
I can't wait to see Cashmere and Jess (and E and D).
Speaking of Facebook; I keep getting friended by people who wouldn't/didn't speak to me in high school. Why in the HELL would I want to speak to them now?
I know, people change, yadda, yadda. I do at least look at profiles and see if there's anything redeeming about 'em now.

Eff 'em, javachik. If they wouldn't talk to you then? Eff 'em right in the ear.
I may not be the best person to give advice about this kind of thing right now.

And thanks, Barb. That means a thing.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
IF I have to call comcast and wait again I'll scream.
At my condo in your area last summer at grad school, we had so many problems with comcast that we made one of our passwords "comcast_sucks"

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
I friended my cousin (who I also went to high school with) on facebook and was immediately friended by high school people I don't like. I'm hoping if I ignore them they'll just go away.
I just talked to the nephews, which always cheers me. D's voice seems to have been replaced by the voice of an adult male. I made him promise to keep me updated on his robotics class when school starts and to warn me first if he plans on taking over the world.

{{Sean}} I'm sorry. Too often the only choice ain't a remotely easy one.

Yeah, well.... I guess a choice between two things that *don't* suck (or one thing that doesn't suck and one thing that does) isn't really a choice.

I think I've gone mildly crazy. I just applied for 3-4 jobs in the San Diego area. Uhm. Eh, can't hurt.
