I like Faye Tality because it's my actual middle name.
Man, I am road-tripping to come see you skate if you make the team!
Hee! There are also road games throughout the Midwest.

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.

I love rollerderby names.
One should be Belle LaDonna. Not sure where that came from, except I''ve spent the past twenty minutes chanting bellybellybelly at the neighbor cat. She likes showing it off and getting it rubbed, vigorously. I sweat, she's party puppy.
Happy Birthday Juliana!
What about May Hemm?
DH would love that one. His favorite part of Good Will Hunting is where Will is in court and the judge reads the charge of "Mayhem." DH has always said he'd like to get arrested for Mayhem. He could get his chance.
Heh.
So date night -- dinner and seeing Inception -- got called on account of pukey child. But it's been a nice evening anyway, and I think the puking part is over. Whee?
Home and in bed at last. Early morning at work tomorrow but home by noon, yay. Ooh. Inception. Maybe that will be on my agenda tomorrow.
So....I've been thinking. Was talking to my aunt today, and she was mentioning how all her old (as in most of 'em turn 82 this year) quilting sisterhood were traveling to see her. And I know they are a huge part of her life (she's been friends with them since her divorce, which was before I was born.) And how she hasn't seen me since that thanksgiving back in '97 or so.
So maybe I need to make a trip. I know I'll be going for the funeral, but... I know they can't put me up, so it'll probably be a very long daytrip.
It's crazy, but.... I said to her "well, this is a shitty reason for me to call after all this time" and she interrupted to tell me that she gets 20-30 calls a day, from people she's lost track of, and that it's keeping her busy and more important, happy to hear other's lives, if not for the whole stupid dying thing. It distracts her from that and the pain.
Her longest friend, at 79, is handquilting a bunch of her stuff to be given to her family and friends. And she's still plotting out quilts, just handing them off to others to finish. My aunt? She's rich with a family of friends.
I'm sorry I wasn't smart enough to make sure I was a part of that. And I don't know if I can see her one last time and tell her she did influence my life. And allowed me to understand my grandmother. Damnit.
Definitely go, if it's at all possible.
