I can't move that far away from family, Barb.
I know, babe. But a girl can hope...
Pretty cool except for the part where I was really terrified and now my knees are all dizzy.

[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.

Amy, i got my creative writing MFA at UNC-G if you have questions about it (it's been 12 years though and evidently the program has sobered up since I've been there.)

If Durham is a serious option, I can tell you all about the school issues, and help you navigate that system (there are magnets and walk zones and neighborhood schools). I know elementary really well, and have watched neighbors deal with HS. (Middle school is a tricky one - as I gather it is in many many cities.) If I were moving back to the Triangle, I would definitely pick Durham.
I also attended NCCU for my MLS, which is in Durham and is - okay. It's no UNC-CH, but it's a lot easier to get into, too. They have a school of Ed and I know a woman who is a professor there, if you would like a contact.

Because books.
Excellent, lisah! Man, now I'm all excited. And distracted, which is not good. Must go write.
Hey, Barb, did you ever get a chance to read what I sent you?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Harvey is a pretty kitty!
Good luck, omnis! It can work out - I moved into my current house having found it on Craigslist (! I know!), never saw more than a few photos, with a six-month lease. Then it went on the market a month later and I bought it because I love it.
What is true of NC is true of Virginia - I wouldn't live anywhere in VA except Charlottesville, a little blue dot in a bloody sea of red. It's because of the University of Virginia being here.

Not even Harrisonburg, Zen? Because I considered James Madison, too.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
And what about my hometown, Reston? It's another liberal bastion.

I didn't much like Harrisonburg, but maybe I was just in a bad headspace when I was there. (Much as I was when I was in Yorktown and Gloucester. Although Gloucester really is depressing; it wasn't just me.) I'm so unfair - Reston is so close to DC it kinda blends in my mind. Sorry, Reston.
The last Presidential race, I remember watching the Virgina map as the little blue dot got slowly bigger and thinking, that's where I live, right there.

I reject your reality and substitute my own. SHE WAS JUST BORN OR IS SURELY ONLY JUST A TODDLER. NOT FIVE.
I JOIN TEPPY IN HER REALITY. Even tho' I see Tickybox regularly and should be more adjusted to her being ALMOST FIVE.

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.

For true. These babies should just barely be walking, and really only said their first words, like, last week.
