Punishingly Intricate

Oh, well now that you mention it, it is a bit awkward and uncomfortable. I wouldn't go so far as to say it hurts.

Mine hurt like eff but it was Very quick. Like 10 seconds quick. So I'm not too worried about getting another one.

Pix, I hope Drew's procedure goes smoothly.

ETA oh yay! Good news

>Vortex (and other DC-area 'ffistas), we have to F2F sometime! We're not really THAT far from each other.

I know! and I am down the university way every so often because I'm on an alumni committee. actually, I'll be down there next month for Homecoming, but I might be a drunken mess, as I am meeting up with the college buddies.

Vortex - do you deliver?

I would, but MM hasn't gotten my teleporter to me yet! I think some part's on backorder.

Strength and healing to you and your family, amyth.

If you don't mind my asking, what is your brother taking, is it Tykerb? My MiL is on it so we've done some of the legwork on finding ways to get it affordably. Feel free to email me if that info would be helpful.

And Pix and ND, very glad to hear the operation was a success.

So I woman-ed up and went out with my neighbor for dinner and her boy's band (I almost bailed on account of homebodiness.) It was a great deal of fun, though it would've been nicer not to drive, but given how the numbers of designated drivers dwindled rapidly, glad I did. Had a amazingly good bbq chicken pizza, though probably should have just stuck with eating half...

And now I am home and way too wound up to sleep. And I wanted to do an early morning tomorrow. We shall see.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I have just discovered I'm supposed to be on a con call at 6a tomorrow morning.

I will do my bit by going into the ER a couple hours earlier than normal, but that's pretty much guaranteed incommunicado time for me. Ah, well.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Also, Series H of QI premiered last night. It's on YouTube.

Yay! Thanks!

bon is here. She is sleeping, because my con call is going long. ::sniff:: Want more TV.

I honestly didn't realize at the time how long I had slept. It was that kind of nap. That couch is awesome.

oh fuck.

Hi. I'm awake. I've been so since, oh, 1:00. This blows. I guess I should go grade papers.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Kat, yuck.

So. I just got back in touch with a friend from hs. He happened to mention that he used to work for the org I just interviewed with, and apparently they are not all they seem. I've asked for details. Oh dear.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm glad that Drew's gallstone has been found and removed. Hopefully he will be feeling much better now.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

Good news about the gallstone -- Drew should be on the mend. I hope the healing is swift!

And just wish some of the other ongoing situations were as 'easy' to repair.

I got some major decluttering done yesterday -- but now I have some 'new' piles to dispose of. Stil, it's progress, right?
