Thanks, guys. I probably could have pushed myself harder if I hadn't been tired from working out too much yesterday. And I walked/ran 10 miles today, so I guess that's pretty okay.
Sooner or later, you're gonna want it. And the second — the second — that happens, you know I'll be there. I'll slip in, have myself a real good day.

I'm still waiting for my moment to ask someone on an anti-porn rant if gay, man-on-man porn is demeaning to women.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Shrift, you're only last because those others didn't show up at all. You should get a trophy for being there and doing it. Good on you!
This demands to be repeated. 40 degrees in Chicago? IMO comfortable running temperatures are 20 degrees lower than normal comfortable temps. Those runners are penises for being chicagoans who can't deal with 60 degree ambient temps.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
And there's also a cultural, apparently, aversion to oral sex. So you can't say anything that alludes to that...like, say, "eat."
First thing that comes to mind is "masticate", and I bet they aren't saying that either...

And must say: yes, shrift, you won by just showing up, much less completing the thing. Kudos!

Pucci - what could I do?
True. It was beyond your powers.
The severe homophobia is weird.

Totally this. Go, shrift!
Was it this thread where I posted my good intentions? Because I totally bailed on them. But to honor promises to my students, which is infinitely more important than an organized closet, so yay.
I got to return his guitar to a student whose brother just died, and even in the midst of his grief see his brilliant smile. I would work for years just to see that smile.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
The severe homophobia is weird.
I think I shall take to calling it homophonophobia.

Good on you, Liese, for giving your students reasons to smile.
I have been watching craigslist for a playhouse for K, since we never got her a real birthday gift. It amazes me that people think they can get away with trying to make potential buyers believe a lie about what these things cost new. As in, someone has an ad for one that new is $229, and they're saying it costs $500 new. I have an Internet, and I know how to use it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Being lazy at the moment. Soon I will shower, dress and pack for the con.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, skimming. At first I thought this post was by Suzi, and though, "Playhouse? ....huh." OH! Hee.
