WHAT DO I HAVE to do
Lie to half of them about the starting time?
Mal: How drunk was I last night? Jayne: Well I dunno. I passed out.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Our wings are not tired.
Believe me, I've been tempted! But kind of hard to do in an Evite. :)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I'm glad I'm not a bitch....
Dog gives birth to Britain's largest-ever litter of Rottweilers with 18 puppies
When four-year-old Rottweiler Terrie went into labour, her owner already knew it was going to be a long night.
But when the six-stone dog started to give birth she didn't stop until she had produced 18 mewling, squealing Rottweiler pups - the biggest ever litter in Britain.
The incredible feat smashed the previous record of 13 and doubled the traditional litter size of eight or nine dogs.
Sadly, one was stillborn and another died two days after the birth, but the remaining 16 have already doubled in size and now weigh between 1 and 1.5lb.

Yeah, so I'm getting even more regrets. Oh well, I'll have to do it again later. FIrst 5 came and went.
OH! My realtor? Is pregnant. With twins. Identical. Due in January. She's a teeny little thing and very apparently preggers.

Apparently I have the worst timing ever.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Hee.
We have a promptness problem, too, bred of years of people being late to stuff like rehearsals.
But yeah, we've a) been early to peoples' stuff and b) gone and driven around the block a couple of times to be on time. Usually if we're not clear on the directions we give ourselves extra time, and then we're early.
Worst was when we threw a dinner party and had (sort of mistakenly) invited one last couple. And told them an entire hour later than we told everyone else. And thought that was the right time, so were not at all ready when everyone showed up an hour before. But they were all there at once! So it was clear it was our mistake and not theirs. Oops.

Err, didn't mean to hee at your sigh, sara! Bummer for your bash. More booze for you?

I had a friend in university who "didn't deal in time frames." He once offered to cook for a dinner party at our house. (I was living w for other girls.) Everyone arrived at 7:30. He showed up at 11 to start cooking.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
My family can never accurately predict the traffic to my uncle's house, so we're always either late or killing time in Dunkin Donuts. Oops.
For a party, I definitely try to time my lateness based on who I know will be there and my relationship with the host -- like, do I want to be first and just hang out with the host or not.
