Take jobs as they come -- and we'll never be under the heel of nobody ever again. No matter how long the arm of the Alliance might get, we'll just get ourselves a little further.

[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.

Happy birthday, Hil! (in Israel)

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

Happy birthday, Persephone Moon! Happy birthday, Hil! And belated HELLO to the lovely Beverly.

Notice in the lift in my apartment building:

We will be having a collection of used clothes for the pool people. If you have any used clothes in good condition, please deliver them to the office. We will deliver them to the organisations next week.

And I stared and stared at the notice as we whizzed up to the 18th floor, thinking: "The pool people? The people who clean the pool? Surely not the lady who is the security guard type person on duty at the pool? Surely not the people who live NEXT to the pool - I mean, they're jammy buggers! They have lovely apartments next to a lovely pool! Why would they need my used clothes?"

...

...

...yeah, you probably already worked it out, right? It's Asia, after all. They meant the poor people. Took me 18 floors before I twigged. Duh.

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

Thanks, guys! (And yes, birthday is today.)

Not quite sure why I woke up at 3 in the morning. Probably getting back to bed soon. Trying to decide whether to open my birthday present from my aunt and uncle now, or wait until later. (I'm pretty sure it's the DVD of Hairspray. I already opened my present from my parents -- iPod Touch. I haven't had a chance to set it up yet, so I'm mostly just staring at it and going, "Oooh, shiny.")

To make sure you'll spend every single second of your b-day celebrating, of course!

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

Happy Birthday Hil!!

Getting up? Huh... I was thinking I really should go to bed.

Anyhow, I popped in to say, have y'all seen the AL senate race results? THREE VOTES between winner/loser. Holy cow! [link]

OK, not here, should be in bed. heading there now. Night!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Felicitations, Hil! I wish you cake! With candles. And lots of things you want in the coming year.

Hello, Faylove!

Geesh, it's too early. I'm gonna try sleeping a bit more before time to get up.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

Happy birthday, Hil!

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".

I'll be flying into Orlando, and whisked up to Leesburg to visit with my sister, who has my mom coming in from CA, our Uncle & his girlfriend making a stop on their retirement tour, parking their little camper out front, and of we are lucky, my brother will show up from VA.

Neither Orlando nor Leesburg is that far from where I live. Hmmmmmm

Your gathering sounds a little like my family gathering in Satellite Beach for Thanksgiving. We come from as far north as VA (the NY family doesn't usually make it).

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Happy Birthday, Hil!

Happy Belated Birthday, Jess!
