heh. It only struck me because it was talking about how the Boomers were going to start turning 65 in the next 15 years. And I was like, "my parents are significantly over 50, and they're both younger siblings...when the fuck is this from?"
There are no absolutes. No right and wrong. Haven't you learned anything working for the Powers? There are only choices.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[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.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
Boomers are already turning 65, both my parents are from the front wave of the baby boom and are currently 66 and 67.

Aaaaaaah, I feel like i'm ovulating and it's really really painfully unpleasant! Or possibly I ate too much lentil stew. One of the two.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Was already seriously thinking about skipping the country, so - why not? (Or we could do things the cheaper, easier way, and Skype.)

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I am now playing with the thought of going out to a cafe with a laptop, and Skyping with the two of you.
Not sure how other people in my immediate environment will take it, though.

well, when you wrote that, I was still in bed... so... it would have been a completely different type of skype.

Finished the Skype with Seska about 40 minutes ago.
She was in bed, too.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
A friend of mine from HS is pretty involved in the poetry scene locally (Indy) and beyond. He's been having a few conversations about sexism, boundaries, that kind of thing, and I offered to give him some links to similar conversations and issue in the fannish subculture. Any suggestions for required reading? I've got the ReaderCon incident already.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
In further news on Operation Buying Scrappy a Fancy Dress, I went to Nordstrom Rack and Marshalls yesterday and actually found some possibilities. I was NOT expecting this, as I am not at the size I feel most comfortable and I never wear dresses, so I went home feeling quite relieved. The event is on October 28, so I have a bit more shopping time before I have to buy something. Next stop, Macy's.
