In exciting-only-to-me-news, I just got an e-mail reminding me to fill out my FAFSA (for financial aid) for next year, and I don't have to!!!! I'm doing the no-need-for-any-more-financial-aid dance!
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Spike's Bitches 43: Who am I kidding? I love to brag.
[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.

Yay! That's indeed very exciting!

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Shir - much peace-ma your way, and good luck (and safety!) to your mum.
I don't blame them, but all I'm saying that in order to end the siege, there are probably better tactics than this. It's a wonder how both sides didn't get it that more killing isn't the solution.
Okay, stupid question: WHY are the people of Gaza living under siege?

Oh! I almost forgot, Tep.
Emmett made me buy a bag of Funyons yesterday.
I only indulged him as a tribute to you.
Aww. A Funyun tribute to me! I'm touched. (No, seriously. Somewhere on my hard drive I have the picture of the 2 of us licking a Funyun bag at the first F2F.)

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Because a lot of terrorist activities against Israel are coming from there. I'm not saying that the majority of the Gazans are interested in wiping Israel off the map, but I'm saying that there are enough, in Israel's opinion (not my own), to keep the Strip under siege.
And yes, it is a chicken/egg situation. Terrorist activities got out from there, hence siege, hence more trying to do provoke violence. Mostly because there's not much they can do against it other than that.
Seriously. It's amazing no one really gave a try to any other way. As in peace talks. I don't care with who, how much "blood" they have on their hands, or whatever - whoever's in there, you talk to them.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
In the meantime, a lot of world leaders and the U.N. are congratulating Israel about the cease fire.
Which makes my laugh hysterically. Seriously, what truce?

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.
Shir, your mom is so brave. I wish I were that kind of brave. I hope it all works out that she can do this and get paid, and I hope that you looking after your dad doesn't take too great a toll on your schooling.
Cease-fire - these are good words to hear. We have so much hope here in the US due to the Innauguration, it is wonderful to hear that there might be Hope elsewhere in the world.
And now I have to get ready to go to work.
P.S. the Grump Fairy made me smile. Total paradox, eh?

All is well that ends in pizza.
Speaking of settlements, have any of you cosmetics-wearing people heard of the Great Cosmetics giveaway?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I'd say it's time to show out your sniper's qualifications, but given the current security in your neighborhood, I wouldn't like you to get arrested.Psst. Shir. America is a Peaceful Nation. We don't do that sort of thing here. Mostly
ION, my sinuses are painfully full again. I don't want to go to work today. And it's looking like I'll have to work tomorrow too. Which means I probably won't get a day off until the 28th. I wanna sit at home and let the ill do it's thing while I watch football. t /whine
IOnowhiningN, I have reservation for hotel in Bethesda for Feb 17-22! Wedding, here I come! While babysitting bored at work today, I'll book airline tickets.
