"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

There have been teens from time to time

Holli! And the adorable Rebecca Lizard! Who was, God, what, fifteen? I mean, she's STILL appallingly young, and she was posting in Bitches (and, er, hosting my fanfic on her website) when she was a wee slip of a thing. With a brain the size of the Caribbean. I remember being shocked when she came over all straight(ish) at University - but evidently she got over her experimental phase, and is back to being All About The Girls.

Aww. Good times, good times!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Holli was 13 when she started posting.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

She would periodically excuse herself when things got too raunchy.

OMG THE HOORORRRRSSSSS WHAT ABOUT THE CHILDRU.... Wait? What? She used good decision making skills instead of being bound by draconian rules? Huh.

Always Anti-fascist!

Hey, I still do that. And usually come back to post some fun fact about criminals or decomp, but it sounded high-minded for a second, right?

Anything for a weird life.

Where at, Thomas? That's where I grew up (and ran far, far away from...)

Grew up in Miami Shores, a tiny subsection of North Miami Beach. My family residence for the last decade has been in Hollywood, and I'm currently at college in Jupiter.

I'm sloooowly working my way north, apparently.

also, this is the first time I intentionally use quick-edit tags, so we'll see how they work.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I guess it's worth noting here that I grew up in Dade County.

So you are not alone in your childhood memories of: puddles filled with polliwogs; little lizards everywhere; using coral for sidewalk chalk.

Our wings are not tired.

Dude! I'm at the mid point. As you pass Delray Beach look east at Lake Ida and wave. Or stop and grab lunch with me some time.

“Not dead yet!”

Ha! I grew up in North Miami. My mom still lives there in the house I grew up in, right across the street from Gratigny Elementary on North Miami Ave. My sister also lives in NM. And the world, she continues to get smaller...

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?

Katie Bee!!!!!!!! So good to see your pixels. You have been missed. And, pictures of Zombie Marge are a must.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

been super busy with work, but managed to get to the end of the thread, and enough time for one quick suggestion. Pictures (because we are Buffistas, and love them) of the Marge Simpson costume/hair do would be most welcome in bitches. C'mon in. (of course, I am a couple hundred behind there, so if it's mentioned there, apologies).

Ok, back to work. Almost open. Sleeeeeep on Saturday. Can't wait. Also, will miss this thread, I think it is made of a lot of awesome!

C'mon lurkers, now's your time! Quick! Before the door closes. (not sure if it feels like an NPR pledge drive, or Indiana Jones grabbing his hat from under the stone door closing on his hand).
