Random makes me think about Zelazny's Amber series. Which isn't a bad thing, but probably not the fannish Random intended.
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

[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
My latest attempt at vegan pumpkin pie is in the oven now. It smells really good. If it sets, then I think this version is it. (The easy way to get vegan pumpkin pie to set is to put the pumpkin in a blender with some silken tofu. I'm trying the trickier but tastier method of agar and arrowroot.)

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
It seems one of the ducks have temporarily been pacified. Now for the others. I swear, all my politcal moxy/energy is being eaten up dealing with the new building.
Maybe an hour at the gym will help. Haven't gone in a few weeks with crazy work schedule.

Our wings are not tired.
Not fannish, unless you're into Chuck Norris, but I keep thinking of "Ranger" for "Walker, Texas Ranger". But the walker's a she not a he.

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.
I've learned the hard, sad lesson that big pumpkins really don't taste like all that much, even with butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Oh, well, the clients enjoyed cleaning the seeds and roasting them.

Someone should inform people that they can still show antipathy in the mornings, and still being respectful for others. God knows I do it all the time (my buses' experience, #83729).
I'm now at the volunteering place. Maybe after this morning's bus people I'm more fragile, but reading about the hell beyond legal cases and reason is a kick in the gut. There's just so much wrongness, and we're only 6 people here. But we're doing what we can.
I will vote for a name for Seska's walker when I'll be more awake. I know there's also a voting in b.org I should look into, as well.
ION, I have now both a bed and a closet in my room, which is massive wow and joy. Also? It's home. I'm at home, guys. It's so weird, and so good, too.
I'm also a huge nerd who spent 3 hours yesterday and will spend another hour today, out of her free will and information management skills, in transforming Roman census data into graph (with notes on dates of significant laws, wars and tribunes/consuls to clarify information from the 150 pages we were asked to read to the class).
Oh, and hey, all.

Shir, I am so glad that you are feeling at home. You definitely deserve that little bit of ease. Also, go on with your geeky self!

Shir, what volunteering are you doing? I hope it goes well - your brief description makes it sound like tough work.
Unless there are more suggestions, I'm moving towards Random for the walker. It feels right-er than Velma, and Susan seems not popular (not that she'd care). Any more ideas before I settle?
The Girl is coming home for a week! Hurrah. I'm off to take my walker on the bus for the first time, because my car boot (trunk) will not open, and I don't have time to investigate why. There are libraries to get to and dissertations to write.
