Oh, James Franco. WTF. He's got an art exhibition.
Oh, yeah, he applied to the grad program at Maryland Institute College of Art this year! He got in, actually, but decided he wanted to pursue some other program at, possibly, Yale?
Jayne: Yeah, that was some pretty risky sittin' you did there. Wash: That's right, of course, 'cause they wouldn't arrest me if we got boarded, I'm just the pilot. I can always say I was flying the ship by accident.

[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.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
P-C, I'm sorry you're going through this. And I find what you're going through very much like what I went through with my family. It sounds like the relationships were similar.
Assuming that, I have two things to tell you. First, you're never going to satisfy them. Whatever you do, however much you give, they'll find fault. If you met their every demand, if you anticipated their wishes and fulfilled them, they'd still find something to criticize. That's the bad news. The good news is that it has nothing to do with you. It's them. They want something that doesn't - can't - exist. They don't understand that their demands are unreasonable, all they know is that they want something and they're looking to you to fill their needs.
So I'll repeat what everyone here has been telling you. You're a good person, a good friend and, in spite of what you're being told, a good son. Do what your heart tells you is right for you and, as much as possible, for your family. Take care of yourself emotionally and physically.

{{{{{P-C}}}}} I'm sorry your sister is piling on to the guilt trip. Stay strong.
I need to stop panicking and start getting stuff done. I really don't think I can handle this upcoming weekend. The house is still a mess, and I still feel like crap.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I just got into my office and checked my messages, and I've got another phone interview. This one is for a job in Savannah.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Ooohh, Savannah! 3rd oldest Reform Congregation in the US at Mickve Israel, which is a lovely Gothic synagogue right in downtown. My grandmother used to be a docent there.

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.

The Tulane Hillel building had a "Shalom, y'all" sign. I vaguely recall seeing a documentary on southern Jews with that title, too.

My mom and I did a quick trolley tour of Savannah a few years ago--it's a really gorgeous city, but seems to be hard to drive around during a weekday. Check out their public transportation to see if it's any good!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
P.-C., sorry this crap is coming at you from your little sister too. But glad your brother is on your side! Stay strong; you are a good person and you are doing the right thing, for them as well as yourself. Lying to them might smooth things out for a while, but eventually it would catch up to you. And, you'd feel like crap for lying to them, too.
