Congratulations, Andi and Daniel!!

Hmm, I can't believe that P-C is against gay were dolphins. What's up with that?

I don't know why it's all so out of control right now. But at the moment I have to decide whether to go to our regular class, where there are students in crisis from the double murder (the exciting new development there is that another couple of students are cousins of the alleged killers), or if I need to go down to a different reservation where there is a former student in crisis with her husband in jail, grieving her aunt who was killed by domestic violence.

I think the second former student is stable enough to wait and try to get together with her over the weekend, but sheesh.

And I'll stop talking about the other stuff here because it's pretty close to the point of gossip now, and I don't want to betray any confidences even though all y'all will never meet my kids. And also because I know it's just disturbing.

But seriously, I don't want to deal. I just want to take a nap. But the kids don't get a pass out of their grief, so I don't suppose I get a pass out of helping them through it. It's why I'm here.

But spread it out a little, kids!

oh, as usual, dear. Is it wrong that I find this amusing? It may add to his little "google problem".

And bonny, reading about the ceremony in the creek (and, if I may ask, why? shouldn't they already have tested the waters?), following the postings it did, I was thinking that at least they won't have to worry about sharks.

I can't believe that P-C is against gay were dolphins. What's up with that?

Ordinary dolphins are fine. But I'm not crazy about were-dolphins, regardless of sexual orientation.

Liese, when I was working the DV and teen shelters, I HAD to talk about some of the crazy shit that went down here, while still respecting confidentiality, or else I would have imploded.

And it helped that one of my BFF's was (is still, actually) a therapist at the teen shelter and we actually COULD talk about stuff and vent without worrying about confidentiality, because we worked with the same kids. You gotta put your air mask on before you can help the other passengers, yanno?

CONGRATS, Andi and Daniel!!! I shower glitter and geeky blessings upon thine headeses! (The glitter ensures that the blessings will stay on your heads FOREVER.)

P-C, I looked at your cruise thingie and they MISSPELLED MASQUERADE! And will provide the masks. This makes me more nervous than the shark talk. They also have sting ray and dolphin encounters; who wants to encounter a sting ray? Geez.

And the "dolphin encounter" might result in your getting hitched, in a manner that would REALLY piss you mom off: "Um, well, I got married. But my spouse isn't Indian, isn't a woman and isn't singular. In fact, my husbands are gay weredolphins. BUT I'm MARRIED!! Aren't you happy?!"

(You should still go; I mean, Bahamas! Take a machete (for the sharks, or persistent dolphin suitors), several books, sunscreen and your own damned mask. )

You might consider saying it anyway. Any woman of your choice (Gujarati or otherwise) would look that much better to her by comparison.

Apparently they already have an even number of boys, so MAYBE I will end up with my own room! Or they will have to recruit some loser off the street to room with me. Or they will put me with a hot Indian geek girl.

One annoying thing is that I found a decent red-eye to Miami, but my options for a flight home were limited, so even though the ship is supposed to get in at 8 in the morning, I'm stuck in Miami till 4:30 and won't get home till after midnight. ADVENTURE! Also, three-hour layover in Atlanta both ways. Hey, Ginger, want to keep me company and talk about zombies or whatever?

or possibly a landshark?

P-C, I'm thinking, yummy Cuban food lunch!! While talking zombies.

That reminds me - in the bookstore I saw a bookmark that had the words "zombies are crap at knitting" with an appropriate illustration.
