Sounds cool, Hil. I never mention people I'm dating to my parents. I figure until it's serious enough that we'd move in or go home together for the holidays, it's not worth the drama.
Time for some thrilling heroics.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My sister has just told me that she has only had one boyfriend, so why do the parents look to her first for marriage? Uh, because of the guys you monogamously for extended periods of time, and I have never brought a guy home?
The one boyfriend ever thing is my schtick, not hers.
I'm listening to her colleague's sex radio show. They're talking about polyamory. I've been wondering if it's going to all go off the rails, but no, it's very straightforward so far. Time for people to call in, or something.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Seriously. My brother would bring home random girlfriends until we found the one we kept. My sister ... well, the less said the better. Me? If I bring someone home, I know it reflects on me. I prefer to leave them guessing if I am not at cohabitation stage.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Thank you! I was driving myself batty trying to figure out that one!
Mark is watching it now!
She was telling a story about an experience she had at the movies (the theme of the night) and she was talking about how she dressed up for The Last Airbender, (and then walked out halfway through the movie) because of her love of A:TLA. She said, "Joseph Gordon-Levitt!" in a disappointed voice when he admitted that he had never heard of the cartoon. It was cute. She was really funny. He called her back onstage later because he liked her style, and asked her to read a Tiny Story.
Ha, that's adorable! He sounds delightful.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Worth noting that she dressed as Prince Zukko. She would have made a great Toph, too.
I'm on my way to Merlefest (bluegrass fest in mtns) with my folks! My aunt and uncle will be there, too, and possibly some fellow recyclers. amyth, I thought of the best thing ever - my conservative, gun-loving uncle in a political debate with Corby.

He is, sigh, my favorite.
Which fellow recyclers. smonster? JMax? KBP and her DH? If Jmax, score me some moonshine, or...whatever. If KBP, pls give her the biggest hug in the world for me.
Re: your uncle: Corb does love his guns, and he does love to argue. Can't say it won't be interesting. Wish I was going!

Here's video of a large portion of the audience singing last night: [link]
amyth, JRice and maybe PP/KBP. Didn't I send you an email? Jmax's dad is having open heart surgery, so they're all in Raeford right now.

Oh crap I forgot about that! You totally did. I need to call her. Thanks for the reminder.
How did you find that video? That was so great.
