Suzi, look for a dress for you somewhere other than a bridal shop, I think. MOB dresses there do tend to me sort of blah to ugh.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

It is poisonous to us!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Hail? Seriously?

OMG, a wedding dress! Wow...
I am alone here in Hawaii, and finished work early and laid out by the pool. And put on sunscreen. And therefore am only sunburnt where I did not put on sunscreen...apparently I managed to miss swaths of my lower arms (not too badly burnt, since they already had a tiny bit of sun, probably the most of my whole body), and ...the middle of my back. Which I couldn't reach. And is now bright red. Oops. Knew I should've bought some spray sunscreen. Doh!!
Meanwhile I was supposed to go to Spokane at the end of this week, and they called and cancelled on me. And are like "No, we can't do it, and need you to reschedule." But the only time I have to reschedule is the week I was plannign to PACK AND MOVE. The week I buy my HOUSE. The week I am also supposed to be helping a friend who has just had surgery. And the week before the weekend in which I have to be in a show, the yearly dance conference happens, and I have to repaint my current apartment (which means all my STUFF has to be out of it....) AY! (...my wife to murder, and Guilder to blame for it! I want a msbelle to come help me pack!)

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
All right, I am off to do my dastardly deeds.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
meara, just be sure to get some rest. If you haven't got your health, you haven't got anything.
P-C, have fun storming the castle!
I wonder if it's too early to introduce Matilda to The Princess Bride.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
We want the play-by-play, P-C. This good deed will not go undocumented.
ION, I'm not moving, but I think I'm joining meara in the "You want me to travel WHEN?!??!!11!" club. Traveling used to be fun. NSM. Perhaps I need to visit buffistas instead of flying here and there for work. It has been a while since I've been to the West Coast....

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?
I wonder if it's too early to introduce Matilda to The Princess Bride.
It's never too early.
