YAY, Fleas! I'm so happy for you!
ita, that kind of micromanaging would make me crazy. Can you rebel and just do it on Monday: "This is ita moon and it's the week of August 11th. Please leave me a message and I'll blah blah blah..."?
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Congratulations, Family flea!
I actually really appreciate it when people update their VM. Possibly because I work with academics who don't keep regular schedules, and expect me (or someone in my dept) to be available to them at all times. If I'm picking up the phone to call them, it's probably time sensitive. If a prof is calling me, they need to be reminded that I go home at night.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I was a nerdy weirdo, and still am. But apparently they hear me. Huh.
That's because now you're a grownup! And cool.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Did you guys see the thing on Jezebel about the study that said that people enjoyed stories more with spoilers?
I totally want to know how a book ends before I read it, but I did not really want spoilers for TV shows I really liked (like Buffy). I almost always read a book by reading the first few chapters, then reading the end, and then reading the book.

Sophia, that's the way I read books, too. And for a while I was all about spoilers with Buffy, but then realized it really took a lot of the HS out of the HSQ and I did my best to give them up. Nowadays I get downright cranky if I get spoiled for my favorite shows.

The study looks like it was done on short stories, so I am not sure you can apply the results (like Jezebel is seeming to) to tv shows or movies.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, wow. She totally doesn't have to drop to her knees to give him a blow job. (SFW)
Ha! I can't believe I've never seen a picture of the two of them standing up together! But I guess that's why.... They were all over the place when he came to the Celtics.
