I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

[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.

At more than one F2F, I was pulled aside by more than 1 person (though not more than 1 at a time) and asked if I was avoiding them and why. And all I could say, in my flabbergasted state was, "It's an F2F! There's so many of us, and such a limited amount of time!" and then flap my hands feebly in an attempt to convey that no, I really wasn't trying to avoid them.

See, Cass could've come up with something like this, but no...

(though not more than 1 at a time)

Ha! Can you imagine... a whole posse!

"Now we're going to San Prancisco to see Mommy!"

Aw.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

I do not know how the gymnasts concentrate on their event with music blaring for the floor exercise event.

I wondered that aloud today and a coworker who used to participate in baton events where lots of people are competing at the same time says you are concentrating so hard that you don't even hear the other music. Unless you're emu-lemon-face, I guess.

I guess, since I hear everything, and am easily annoyed by sounds, it would drive me crazy. But, my training is a bit different than theirs.

ION, have we noticed the beach volleyball PA? Playing soundbites straight out of America! I thought it was for team USA. But nope. Watching a match with non-USA folk, and still same sound bites. Hmmm. Curious.

No really, I'm drafting. I swear.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

And such weird choices of sound bites, too! I noticed "Uptown Girl" and "Livin' On A Prayer." During the synchronized diving, they were playing "Dancing Queen."

I remember watching my older sister playing volleyball during championship matches and wondering how they could concentrate with all the cheering and calling out of players' names, and then I played myself (never in crowds as loud, but...), and I realized that I just didn't really hear it. But, you know, not the same as loud music, crowds of thousands, and at the Olympics, so.

No really, I'm drafting. I swear.

Uh-huh. And I'm cleaning my kitchen and living room. See how it sparkles?!

Ya! Very strange. Glad I'm not the only one noticing these things.

holy cow, the zombie of my ex was here at the theatre tonight. He had the same face only gaunt, the same hair only sparse and wild and the same gait only with a slight shamble. It was freaky but also kinda cool to imagine it was really him.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

It is too early to be up. Back to school for teachers today. Kids start next Monday. I'm really hoping today isn't too awful; however, with Draconian Dictator in charge of the day, I'm not holding my breath.
