Fingers crossed, smonster!
Nora, if you're around, this craziness with my grandmother has taken up a lot of free time I thought I might have, but I think the husband and I might be free for a meal on Sunday. Is that possible for you and Tom?
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

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.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Wow, smonster, fingers crossed for you. That's so fast!

Go, smonster!
To put it in Matilda syntax, "I wish for you to have it."

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)
Shee-it, smonster, you must email me the deets!
Dana, yes, we're free on Sunday. Let me know if you prefer brunch or dinner, and if you have any hankerings and/or dietary limitations, and I'll set up something. (unless you would prefer to do so, and by all means go for it, and let us know where and when to show up. I just figured you have enough on your plate that organizing an outing might be a PITA.)

Dinner would be better, since my parents will both be off doing different things. We eat pretty much anything, and any suggestions you have would be lovely. Keep in mind that this will depend on whatever craziness is going on, and I might have to cancel on short notice.
I don't know if we'll have a car -- I might be able to drop my mother at her thing and pick her back up.

OK... we have a car and can pick you up if you like, or I can find something near the Canal Street streetcar.
Totally understand about the potential for having to cancel.
I'll ping your profile addy with additional thoughts. (today or tomorrow, probably)

Always Anti-fascist!
I'd wear some of the spiky styles on the hair article, but I've been called "sir" wearing a pink blouse before.(Not by an attentive person, but I was really insecure then.)

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Not to mention lots more face time with my dream(ish) boy.
Oh, god. So much to do. So much to figure out.
Nora, I'm at the gate waiting to board for another 45 min if you have a moment to call.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
smonster, fingers and toes crossed for you, and thank you so much for the gift! It's hanging on the mirror in the hall. It fits in perfectly with the whole theme of my house, plus there a peacock feather! (Though that one may actually be a peahen because it's brown. Right? I don't know much about peafowl except they're loud, the boys are gaudy, and Hera and smonster like them.)
juliana, thanks! I never even thought of looking on YouTube.

Zen, I'm so glad you like it! I got it at this supercool reuse/upcycling boutique called Unique Products. It's an artist's co-op and they have so much cool shit. Like pendant lamps and chandeliers made from absinthe bottles, jellyfish lamps from Mardi Gras beads, etc. Very close to Nora's house.
