I do the hands up thing with middle school and it works.
You're talking to Serenity. And, Early... Serenity is very unhappy.

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.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Oh, I've given up on telling them not to text during class. It's just too hard for me to see from the front of the room what everybody's doing.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Well, we're now in that part of the year when I have to start using a lightbox. And trying to turn my hours around to wake up slightly before dawn so I can get every minute of light possible. Anyone else in that boat with me?
Ahoy. Except I don't have a lifejacket lightbox.
Barb, fantastic book review and wonderful kid! Way to go!
In other news, I e-mailed Doctor Girl yesterday and got a response this morning:
Well, that's promising, even if only on the friendship front.
"Why do you always go back? Do you have something waiting for you at the apartment?"
Uh, YES?
Have your return ticket and getaway money handy at all times.
And Passport!

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Much fun as it sounds, I really don't know if I'd go PC. (And I'll be kind of surprised if your brother decides to.) This does not seem like a good time to start blurring lines you've drawn.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Tell them you're saving India for the honeymoon.

Laga is mean. Whether to Polter's Mom or Polter, I'm not sure.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
My middle school prinicipal would make a loud noise (similar to a martial arts grunt) to get us to put our hands up - we kept them up and were silent for the last 3 minutes of lunch. My parents will be tickled to hear I'm trying one of his tactics.
PC, I say hold firm. Maybe confer with your brother behind the scenes? And I am glad Doctor Girl is in cahoots with you.
I am also in the mourning the sun but lacking a lightbox camp. I'm hoping that being out and about in the morning will make things better this year.

This was our conversation yesterday:
Me: How long is their little mini-vacation? A week? And aren't tickets to India even more expensive now?
Me: They're like $2500.
Me: For that, I could...not fight with my parents for a week.
Him: yeah its ridiculous
