I do want to visit Texas (the best I've done is lunch in Amarillo) but Austin is #1 on my list and San Antonio is #2. Until Omnis moved there Dallas didn't even make the list.

Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[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.
Can you believe I'm the only kid who called to sing to my dad on his birthday? Scuse me while I polish my halo...
You might want to adjust that halo a bit, I think it's sitting a little crooked on your horns.
Can't sleep, again. Everything hurts. And I can't take Flexeril, because it makes me too groggy in the morning, and I've got stuff I need to do tomorrow. (Plus, this time the pain isn't muscular, so Flexeril wouldn't actually do anything for that. But it would put me to sleep.)
Wishing all the gronky Buffistas a nice, deep, enveloping, restful sleep.
Wishing that plus ease-ma and health for Ellie and Sara. Poor li'l sproglets.
Good lord. Craigslist has made me so pathetic. A friend and I put up a joint ad the other day, and we got so few replies that were in any way decent (a few spam, one "hey, I'm not your type, but you go!", one that was a great reply...but is already a friend of ours...) that I ended up replying to the decently-written reply....from a FREEGAN.
To whom I basically started it off saying "yeah, so I'm doubting this will work. How hardcore are you on the freegan thing? We did mention in the ad "OMNIVORES". And I'm pretty darn bougie"
What the hell is a freegan? I'm guessing a vegan who only eats fruit? (Only I thought that was a fruitarian?) Or possibly a creature from the planet Freeg?
From wikipedia...
Even the manifesto pamphlet "Why Freegan" (written by Against Me! drummer Warren Oakes in 1999) is unclear in its definition of what constitutes freeganism.
I hope you found a compatible one.
I'm guessing a vegan who only eats fruit?
I think those are called fruitarians. I was under the impression that freegan was just a pretty word for dumpster diver (skipper in the UK) but I found the wikipedia article fascinating and then I felt guilty for not allowing my minions to consume leftover hot dogs.
Huh. So it's someone who believes in eating only scavenged food? Interesting.
Jilli! Have you read Larklight? It's by Philip Reeve - I adored his Mortal Instruments books, which were sort of Steampunky YA, and I've been ogling Larklight for a while, and have just picked it up from our bookfair (it's book week at my school). It looks FABULOUS - kind of like his previous books, but pitched more at the Lemony Snickett age range. Victorian kids in space. Back cover blurb:
It was just another normal morning in space when disaster struck. My sister Myrtle (who is quite irritating, as girls generally are) and I faced the most awful peril, and we hadn't even had our breakfast...This is the story of what happened next, and our Dreadful and Terrifying adventure to save each other and the known Universe.
