I'm trying to decide what to do today. There's a grad student seminar that I really ought to go to -- the guy giving the talk is one of my classmates who's working in the same field as me, and it seems rude to skip it, since I'm one of the only two people in the department who have a chance of actually understanding what he's talking about -- but my ankle is really hurting and I don't want to put too much strain on it by walking too much.
But? There's always a but. When this is over, can we have a big 'but' moratorium?

[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.

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

Vortex, would you please tape the conversation you have with your web designer for our amusement? Pretty please? I'm sorry you have to go to the Board meeting without the new design.
ha! It's fine. I have actually done a lot of stuff, so it's not like I have nothing to present, but since I showed them a draft design last time, it would have been nice to have a finished product. They may not even ask about it.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
{{{Fred Pete}}} I am so so sorry.
All kinds of ~ma to you and your dad, omnis.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I am so sorry, Fred. But going out knowing you are loved is wonderful.
One of my friends on facebook linked to this photo, and I thought y'all would appreciate it.
That was really funny.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Vortex, that's irritating as hell. People not doing their jobs when you're relying on them: frustrating.
I just... I am sitting here shaking my head because I don't understand that kind of lack of empathy for your own child.
You know, until recently I was mega-angry about it, a lot of the time. Just recently I started to realise that most people are not malicious, and that parents usually want what's best for their child - even if they get that wrong a lot. Right now, particularly, I will do whatever's most helpful for them. That has to be more constructive than adding to their stress, right?
Girl, I think it would be awesome if you did stop by here. You are welcome here.
Heh. She might, she might not. She's a funny one. But she loves that there are a huge number of people, particularly former Bronzers and other fandom types, who know her even though she doesn't know them. It's a fun thing.
Lots of peaceful thoughts for you, Fred Pete.
Edit: Cross-post from somewhere else, but I'm still laughing about it. A little girl just ran through the cafe in the direction of the toilet, shouting "I need a pooooooooooooo!"
