Riley ,'Potential'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
CJ's name is what we picked out when we didn't know if Kelly would be a boy or a girl. We never did come up with a second girl name, so he was lucky he was a boy. I can't picture naming him anything else, he is very much my CJ.
Had I been a boy, I would have been Reza. Not a name that flips between Farsi and English as easily as Susan.
I don't wanna do any more work today. I want the weekend to start NOW.
Emma was the first girl's name we agreed on so we stopped looking.
Then, at 38 weeks and after all of my showers, I changed my mind. I have a lot of embroidered stuff that says "Emma".
And now, I look at her, and she is so not an Emma. She is every inch of her Emeline.
Oh, on the dating thing. I'm not expecting to find someone who has the exact same interests/opinions as I do. Just the guy in question was so dismissive regarding Buffy and his comments about baseball seemed condescending to me.
I mean, baseball is my professional sport of choice, but if a prospective date was a big hockey fan, I'd be interested in having him share his passion for the sport with me.

I know THREE Rezas. It's the John of Farsi, isn't it?
I know a couple Rezas myself too.
I just wrinkled my nose at another guy in order to encourage better service. Well, at least I'm not batting eyelashes or modulating my voice.
OMG, from eavesdropping, there's a Jayne hat in the next row over. Except he totally didn't get my "Is that a cunning hat?" reference. Piker. Have I watched Firefly, he asks. Bah. Don't even.
Okay, so I will happily diss you for not being nerdy enough. And me? Still single. Just imagine.
At least in that generation -- every Persian guy I know (practically) is named Reza, too.

Do you ever use your trump card and say, "I have a moon"?
OMG y'all our internet and all external servers were down for HOURS! all trading floor stuff DOWN in this market, people are pissed.
Now it's back up and I feel the need to leave early because I have boxes to get home on my commute.
I think I'm close to breaking the copyeditor. Final thirty pages of the ms and she's gone on a frenzy of making everything grammatically correct and in the process, more passive.

Play the moon card? God, the looks that has gotten the couple times I brought it up to new people. I THOUGHT THEY WERE FANS. REAL FANS.
It'll just be our secret.
Which reminds me! I just got the email that my Serenity keychain is shipping. Too excited.
