I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

[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.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Hey all. The cottage in Norfolk was lovely - log fire, great countryside to explore, got essay written. What did I miss here?

Good luck with the cheese-free meals, Laura! We eat mostly wheat-free and do fine - there are always alternatives in the shops.

Wishing you sleep, Kristin.

Edited, because Norfolk has an L in it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

My daily news: first, Ryan can now stand at the edge of his playpen! He can't get there himself, but he has no trouble staying upright.

Second, I just heard back on the interview I did a couple of weeks ago: they're offering me the position. This work is pretty much just the kind of thing I'm looking for. They want sophisticated financial modelling to support their investment decisions, which is my area of expertise. Perhaps best of all, they want someone on a part-time basis at the moment, so it fits perfectly with my Master of Finance studies. I'm not sure how I'll go with the work culture - there are one or two things which will be new for me, and one or two things which are perhaps too familiar - but unless they want to pay me in hope and shiny buttons, I'll be starting in about a month's time.

Our wings are not tired.

Congrats, billytea! Gainful employment that works with your schedule is indeed a good thing.

Ryan can now stand at the edge of his playpen!

Nooooo! Don't encourage this behavior. Fair warning, this can only lead to walking, running, and in time driving. Don't say I didn't let ya know.

ION, my son passed his driving test yesterday and proceeded to drive himself to volleyball practice and to his girlfriend's house later in the evening. All without parental assist. He's going to work with me today because he needs gas money.

And,

Happy Birthday to Beverly! Reading your recent posts leads me to believe that this year will be a wonderful year for you.

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.

Congratulations on the job, billytea. Also, good work, Ryan!

Laura, I'm not sure whether to extend congratulations or sympathy for your auto insurance premiums.

Happy Birthday, Beverly!

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?

Hippo birdies, Beverly!!!!

yay, billytea!
