Hi again. Skipping isn't so much fun, but the whole hours in the day thing keeps getting in the way.

Made a whirlwind trip back to Florida. Did business stuff, spent a whole lotta time with DH, had dinner with son. All went really well. Back in really chilly mountains.

She might check and see if there would be any copyright issues.

With selling Gutenberg works? I don't think so.

As for fits of anger, as long as no one's getting hurt, and nothing's getting destroyed that the angry person isn't willing to replace, I'm mostly okay with it. I've had enough screaming and throwing fits of anger (and felt *so* much better after them) that I don't look askance as long as everyone is safe.

I've seen SO MANY episodes of violent rage working in DV and homeless teen shelters and with high school students that pretty much nothing phases me.

And my friends are a pretty drama-free bunch, as are my family members.

But then again, I don't have any triggers about violence -- YMMV. My reaction is usually "keep everyone else safe," try to de-escalate the sitch, in professional situations.

If someone acted like that in my HOME (I'm thinking of "I have a party and a guest of a friend freaked) it's be de-escalation, then it things got worse, gethefuckout, even if I have to physically do it myself and call the cops.

I have my crankypants on this morning.

Laga, have fun!! And yay for D being a sweetie.

Jilli, I have had lasers shot into my eye several times!! I did not enjoy the experience, but it beats the heck outta going blind!! May this be the end of it.

Man, had dinner at a friend's house, drank the wine, got into some passionate but courteous debates with her and her bf, and suddenly it was nearly 1 am. Just now up and walking the dog, and I'm a little hungover. Gronk.

Wow, the upcoming Coilhouse party in NYC looks like a Gothy German expressionist dark cabaret wonderland.

Whoo hoo! So glad you are enjoying a stellar social life here.

I'm reminded of Juliana's arrival in North Beach.

Hee. Well, we are twins.

Speaking of social lives, Nora, what are your weekend plans? Wanna hang? StW and I are going tubing with the local RPCV group on Saturday, but that's all I know. I need to check Tipitina's calendar - there were some bands coming I want to see, but can't remember when.

Weekend plans are open- still recovering from the bronchitis, so hanging out at, like, Pete's isn't a great idea. Probably will hit the Avenue Pub on Friday though.

You going to the ICNA thing tonight?

I love smonster and Nora being neighbors. I just do. Of course, it makes me want to win the lottery, and buy an island for all of us, but....
