Played with Kaylee. Sun came out, and I walked on my feet and heard with my ears. I ate the bits, the bits stayed down, and I work. I function like I'm a girl. I hate it because I know it'll go away. The sun goes dark and chaos has come again. Bits. Fluids. What am I?!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

I have had THREE! THREE! Buffistas stay with me! Four, if Matilda counts as a lurker.

I have had 4 Buffistas sleep in my bed at once! It was AWESOME. Ah, the Bed Of Doom. Also, ND and I were each other's First Buffista, as I picked him up in MSP to go meet Bridget and Knut for drinks at the Bryant Lake Bowl.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm not a fan of olives. So the mofletta looks a lot better to me than a muffuletta.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I haven't had any buffistae stay with me, unless you count Amyth falling asleep on my couch.

You have also hosted my cats. Thanks again for that.

I will add, however, for the lurkers' benefit, that I turned my keys over to smonster to stay in my apartment while I was away without every having met her face-to-face.

'Tis true. And a marvelous hostess she was and is, even in absentia. DH as well.

The first time I met meara she arrived at my house in the wee smalls of the morning after a truly horrendous drive from DC.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

smonster, remember getting pumpkin ice cream at Graeter's? (Actually, did you get the pumpkin? I know I did, because I'm a whore for all things pumpkin.)

Since it's October, pumpkin is back as the flavor of the month! Butterfat, here I come!

Now tagless for your comfort.

I saw erika's dog violate a plush toy so I want extra credit for that.

Oh, and her mom is a killer cook.

But not in a Mrs. Lovett kind of way.

Here's a question, mostly for the lurkers: how do you refer to stuff you learn here @ b.org to non-buffistas? I have started so many sentences with "I just saw/read this really interesting thing, and..." and then I realize I have no good way to explain who ya'll are. My hubby knows, but most of my friends and coworkers don't get the concept of such an online community ("No, it's NOT like FB!"), and I'm reduced to mumbling, then quickly changing the subject. Of course, that hasn't kept me from dropping hints to new kewl people I meet, in wild hopes that they might already be a buffista. Is there a secret handshake we should know about?

Always Anti-fascist!

Totally, dude. It's like one of the Bitches is an actual bitch. Those steaks were awesome, yeah.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have started so many sentences with "I just saw/read this really interesting thing, and..."

That's pretty much how I do it. Also, some really good stories happen to "a friend of a friend."

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

With co-workers, I can usually get away with "I saw [x] on the internet" or "A friend sent me this link."
