I just found out I won a book from QI through a Twitter competition.
Because your entry rocked.
This money, it is too much. You should have some small refund.

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.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
~ma for your friend, Raq. Lots of good vibes to her.

I'm sorry, PC, it seems like the girl may have let something slip. I don't suppose telling your folks that while the goal of finding a wife is admirable, the method they're using is highly problematic would make much of an impact. Respect is a two-way street, and if they won't respect your process, I don't see why you need to show more than basic respect for their process, ie, you don't need follow their script. I'm sorry you're left with a non-engagement option (engagement with the process, not engagement with a girl, though that seems to be a result as well).
How's the vacation planning going?

I get to leave work fifteen minutes early today, which is yay! Not so yay is that it's because I have a smear test.
I'd work an extra fifteen minutes to not have people all poking about up in my junk. Probably.

“Not dead yet!”
MEEEEEEEEP!
Got a great review from Booklist today, for their November 15th issue:
In a risky career move, ballerina Soledad refuses an offer to join a dance company in order to play the role of Carmen with a Miami-based competitive all-male drum and bugle corp. Although the role and its opportunities are seductive, spending the summer with her new boyfriend, bugle-playing Jonathan, and exploring their fresh, exciting love is equally compelling. As deep as her love is for Jonathan, Soledad finds herself strangely attracted to Taz, a Spanish soccer player—an attraction that threatens not only the couple’s love and trust but their careers as well. Ferrer understands the drive that consumes aspiring artists and athletes, and she conveys this single-minded absorption with charm and intensity. All three teens are likable, even lovable, and readers will empathize with their difficult choices. The story effectively depicts the excitement of performance, the intrigue of one girl traveling among 150 boys, Jonathan and Soledad’s steamy romance, and Taz’s courtly pursuit. Beautifully written, with contemporary characters and an engaging story line, it lacks only the promise of a sequel to make it complete.
