Ah see, the potluck is inherently flawed. I wouldn't be pissed, I'd just be bringing a lot of middle eastern food and hoping no one liked it.
Anya Christina Emmanuella Jenkins. Twenty years old. Born on the fourth of July — and don't think there weren't jokes about that my whole life, mister, 'cause there were. 'Who's our little patriot?' they'd say, when I was younger and therefore smaller and shorter than I am now.

[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.

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?
Wow, our potluck holiday party was announced 2 weeks ago (and is to take place on Friday) and within 4 hours, more than half the staff had already signed up. By the time slacker me signed up a week later, I think 90% of the staff had signed up.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If I had the oomph I'd bring a pile of goat. And take all the leftovers home with me.
Hmm. That is okay at a potluck, right? There isn't anything else sensible to do.

I'd eat your goat, ita. Would it be jerked? BBQed? (You can get BBQ goat in Oakland.)

I lost track of how many job applications I sent out. I think I'm somewhere around 135. And, so far, two interviews.
Hil, have the math grad students set up a Wiki for keeping track of their mutual job search? It's quite an improvement over the old days when you really didn't know what was happening unless you got an interview. Here is the Psychology Wiki for this year as an example:

It would be curried. I wonder if the Indian staff would turn their noses up at Caribbean curry.
I've only had Oaxacan BBQ goat. It's pretty good. It's been way too long. I also need to try the goat tacos near Kat.
My biggest grammar/spelling STOP DOING THAT is currently loose/lose. I have no idea why it gets me so riled up. Worse than their/there/they're by a country mile.

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Loose/lose also bugs me out of all proportion. And it could just be a typo, so really I should learn to overlook.
