And now my boy's in love. All hearts and flowers. But, doesn't it freak you out that she used to change your diapers? I mean, when you think about it, the first woman you boned is the closest thing you've ever had to a mother. Doing your mom and trying to kill your dad. Hm. There should be a play.

F2F5: I forget that everyone isn't us
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
And the damage is done. It'll always be known as the SLUT so their attempts to change it are doubly feeble.
I am reminded Tesco's decision to rename Spotted Dick "Spotted Richard".
I mean, yes, okay, dick, ho ho - but it's so totally well-known that mostly you don't think "Penis! Penis! Ho ho ho!" ...until you find yourself staring at "Spotted Richard", think "WTF???" and then make a mental translation, and then think "OMGWTFSPOTTEDPENIS!"
As successful renaming ventures go, it's akin to Dick Van Dyke deciding to change his name to Richard Van WomanWithComfortableShoes.
...All of which is a verbose way of saying that I'd love to ride the SLUT in Seattle.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
And Juliana, I hope you won't take my description of Port Townsend as offensive, especially since I used the same term for my own town.
Oh, heck no. I've not even been there, I just think it's hilarious that he was mayor.
Oh, hey. We were going to do a poll or somesuch, right? I'll get to that today.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Riding the SLUT? Muppet exhibit at the Sci Fi museum? I am *so* down with Seattle. Plus, the only other time I've been it was a freaky 97 degree day and Plei and Jilli and I spent the day moving as quickly as possible between air-conditioned shops, then had ice cream w/ my friend Judy. Which was a lovely day, but I'd like to go back.
I also adore Portland.
And, hey, Fay - I've got a friend in the US foreign service whose next post is Thailand... I just might have to see if I could swing a trip. When's a good time to visit, keeping in mind that I do pretty well with humid heat?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
I'm kind of chuffed because, whatever we decide, it's looking like this will be the first F2F in a city I've never been to (or even lived in) before.

I'm creating a poll for possible dates - I put in all the weekends of June (observing that June 19-21 covers Juneteenth, Father's Day, and Solstice), and the last weekend of May. Any other dates that I should put in?
And do we want to ask a question about Seattle vs. Portland, or should we leave that until voting time?

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
If we have it on Juneteenth, that's my birthday!
Ahem.
I mean, bah. Father's day. Who needs it, right?

When is Memorial day in 2009? Is it not the weekend of the 31st?

It is not, it is the 25th.
