NE Florida is bad enough, thanks.
You could always take up Harry Crews novels. I imagine that living in Jacksonville would make them even funnier.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Y'all don't know about the black belt? Billy, here. EDIT - link fixed, I hope.
Ah! Thanks for that, very interesting.
A very interesting article from The New Republic about this election as a realignment. [link]

Sad about Botox...women shooting for "young" and getting "God, what happened to her face?!"

Close Up was how I got to see the '92 inaugural for Clinton. All I really remember is Maya Angelou and a fleeting glimpse of Hillary during the parade.
And it was cold for a NMican!

It just occurred to me that my brother may get to go to the inauguration, cause he's friends with one of Obama's defense advisors. How cool would that be?

At my tenth HS reunion, the thing that was bizarre was how many of the girls had gone on Clomid to have babies. I mean, we're talking 27-28 year old women who had toddlers, so they'd been about 25 or so when they first started the drug. When I asked (since we were in the process of trying to get preggers for the first time) how long they'd tried before their doctors put them on Clomid, they almost all universally giggled and said, "Oh, a couple of months. We were just anxious."
When I got back home, I asked my OB/GYN, who by sheer accident also happened to be a fertility specialist, how long I'd have to be trying before he'd consider putting me on a drug like Clomid, he said, "Well, considering your age, your health and barring any other complications or issues, I'd say you'd have to be trying for about eighteen months before I'd consider it."
Ten years later, Clomid was apparently replaced by Botox, judging by the pictures I saw. (Just couldn't cope with actually attending.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I had Botox. I consider it a moral failing, but perhaps I have issues.
I also have bruises. Patchwork territory from elbows to knuckles and I keep bumping them. Price of having small veins and being a hard stick. For every correctly positioned IV there are three or four failures.

If memory serves, you had the Botox because you were trying to get relief in some way, not trying to recapture some lost youth because you imagine high school to have been the best years of your life.
Sorry. No moral failing for you.

Yeah, ita, you were seeking relief, not vanity. Holy hell, yeah.
KITTEN (Loki) is going crackers trying to get to the new fake mice secreted in the clear plastic box. Cracking me up because he's already got one right next to it. But no, must liberate the imprisoned...
OK, so looks like the parents want to pay cost (except for gigolos, mom informs me.) So I may be going to Bhutan in a few months!!! Holy hell!
