how to say "you seem nice, but I have limited time at home, and wish to spend it with people who are already my friends, or in group activities with already-friends and possible new ones, not one-on-one with people who I am not immediately interested in"? Without seeming arrogant and nasty?
I don't think you can say "I already like other people better than I want to know you" without seeming cold. Either you lie about why you have to leave, or you make it through coffee. Perhaps you should switch to tea?
Yay, Pix, for doing so much!
Cash, I'm so sorry you're being knocked on your ass so unbelievably hard by this thing.
Sorry about the eh, non-date, meara.
Yay, job interviews, Hil.
And I think I've just mini-meara'd
I got drunk with my girlfriends last night. It was fun; I hadn't done that it quite a long time.
I feel delicate this morning. Not hungover, per se -- DELICATE.
Need more coffee.
Hi, all.
Job interview, wedding stuff, yay.
Coffee.
(oy, Seattle...third latte today!)
For some reason, this cracks me up. Possibly my lack of coffee. But, ah, yeah. Seattle is the kind of place where being social risks over caffination.
One of the funniest things to us when we were there, was the absolute proliferation of little java huts just plopped down at the edges of parking lots.
It's the Seattle equivalent of shaved ice huts around here.

DH's Phone went off from 5 to 7 . every time it rang it woke me up. Cat woke up and wanted food. DH came back to bed at 7 -- I made the cat wait until 8.
The Girl and I are texting (across continents) ideas for names for my new walker. My other mobility aids have been called Marvin (after the Paranoid Android) and Luna (after Harry Potter's friend), so we have a sci-fi/fantasy theme to follow. We know that the walker is a girl and that she's a bit geeky and an individual.*
Suggestions so far include Susan (after the Gothic Governess), Random (after Arthur Dent's daughter) and Fred (from Angel). We have ruled out Hermione (which doesn't fit) and Kaylee (The Girl has name issues there).
*You can just tell these things after two days of using a mobility aid.
So I guess "Willow" is out? Or even the full name "Willow Rosenberg" which always cracked me up? Also "Velma"?
Maybe Aeryn or Moya? (assuming you've seen Farscape)
I was going to suggest Pilot. (Not a girl, but - Pilot --> mobility. So it fits!)
