... do they do surprise weddings in India?
I've tried to march in the Slayer Pride Parade ...

Spike's Bitches 45: That sure as hell wasn't in the brochure.
[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.

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
P-C, wouldn't this be the "find him a bride in India" trip?
No, we're going for a cousin's wedding.
To be frank, I don't see how these are mutually exclusive things.
To be blunt, you are out of your everloving mind if you don't think your mom is going to spend every minute of this thing a) trying to get you married; b)moaning that you aren't married; c) implying that you are horrible and killing her by not being married; and d) actively stating that you are horrible and killing her by not being married.
If you REALLY want to go to your cousin's wedding (I always do, my perpetually un/under-employed self has a credit card that is pretty much dedicated to this once or twice a year occurance) you buy the tickets and book the room and hang out with your family and ditch them sometimes too. She'll bitch and she'll even look right when she does what with you being an independent person and not hanging on her every moan. If you really want to go to your cousins wedding do it as a grown up who makes a nice living and pays his own way and know you'll piss her off. If you really want to go though, go.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Oh, but I don't really want to go.

Going to India sounds awesome as a general concept.
It does! That's why Imma do it in November! Wanna come with us P-C?
I have no practical advice about how to deal with an impending trip. I have not gone anywhere with either one of my parents since I was 16 or so.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
teach people cancer pharmacology
Not totally unrelated: I edited something yesterday and learned that the DEA is going to permit e-prescribing of controlled substances (narcotics, etc.). About fucking time.

Foo! I get alternately nervous and excited about it just about every day.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
YAY HIL!!!
