Sara, I am so happy that you found your house and made it happen. Just a few weeks ago you were hyperventilating, and now it seems you've found your true hood peeps.
Congratulations!

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

What particularly caught my eye is that they have a link to another story entitled "Early humans 'did not kill deformed offspring'" on one side of the page, and a picture of Stephen Hawking on the other.

java, I'm still spinning in amazement. If I'd written up a dream list for a neighborhood, this would be it. And I didn't know that when I fell in love with the house. I just knew it looked friendly.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!
sara, I am incredibly happy for you. I swear there is something about the neighborhood that tells you it is the right house.
I knew our house was our house when I saw he sun hanging on the back fence. But we were looking at two. This one, although it needed more work felt better. and it was cheaper. and farther from the main road. and closer to down town. and while we knew one neighbor, really our immediate neighborhood is really good. Tolerant. and I get to pay monster and witch with the neighborhood kids.

I went to see Star Trek today, and hung out with someone I hadn't really hung out with before (yay for Facebook chat, because that's how I ended up talking to her and suggesting we see it together!). And then ended up going from there to a whole other movie with friends at the Transgender Film Festival (which I didn't even know was happening). Talk about a switch!
And then somehow while tasting a friend's soup (which was made wrong and eventually sent back) at dinner got a bite that had too much spice in it, and burnt my tongue and lip. OW.
I'm thinking I may bail on the "going out dancing" part of the evening, now that I'm finally home.

The knit flesh suits are part of an Art Project that photographs various families in them. It's still a candidate for the Craftastrophe site, but I at least give them credit for deliberately trying to be appalling/funny!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Oh that is awesome!

I think I sprained something laughing.
