My sister's kids, three of them were born with blonde hair, one with black.

Tep, your coworkers are freaks.

Do not insult the freaks. But I'm happy to cosign that they are a-holes.

(Remember when my roommate and I fostered that cat and had to put her to sleep? My entire office had a card signed for me the next day, with personal messages. FOR A CAT, that we fostered for three weeks. My lord, mumbling condolences is the least one can do. Send an email if you can't mumble.)

But you work with people made of human parts, rather than the "Christians" I work with.

Actually, I think calling Teppy's cow-irkers freaks and a-holes is an insult to both freaks *and* a-holes.

Also, Shir, you'll be coming to the LA area during your visit, right?

Shall we call them freakholes?

Well, yes. I mean, my boss not only let me take the day off to put Lucy to sleep, she let amyth take off a couple of hours on 5 min notice to come with me. We are a bunch of touchy feely* fucking hippies.

Common human decency, people. Jesus was a fan.

I thought most babies are born with blue eyes and black hair.

White babies, maybe. But they're not most babies.

Is it too early to announce that (I think/hope that) there's a pretty good chance I'll be able to see a lot of you people, in person, in October 2011?

Shir Tour 2011, wooooo. And that's the month of the next Olympian Festival, so if you stop by the Bay Area the right weekend, I may be in a show. Or maybe I'll have written one.

I'm snarky enough that I could get really tempted to vociferously and effusively thank them all for their kind words of support during this tough time.

It seems unavoidable. :) (I know, we're too cool to use emoticons. Sue me). Actually, checking flights' price earlier today (to get an average of how much will it cost me and if I'll be able to save enough in a year's part time job to pay for it - which I can, even if I'll get a lousy student-salary job!), I automatically checked flights to LAX and back.

Anyhow, I'm willing to come wherever Buffistas are (though I really want a 3-5 days just wandering in the south. Faulkner lover and all here, and it seems like I'll take a history seminar next year about the south, 1820-1920. The class is called "No Country for Old Men" (well, it's actually called "Tough Land", as the Hebrew translation to the motion picture's name. But I prefer it better like that), with a really great professor ). After all, Buffistas are the reason I'll be visiting the States again, and not Australia (sorry, bt!).

[Longest parentheses eveh. I impressed myself].

Good to know. I won't make that mistake again.
