Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Yeah, you really need the support, msbelle, and I'm glad it looks like you might get it. I know transitioning to new people will be hard, but I hope it works out well for all of you.

That sounds great, msbelle!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Congrats, msbelle, I hope it works out super great for you and Mac. Glad he had a good return to school.

Thanks to my job, I now know that there's male enhancement underwear called Cocksox.

Thanks to my job, I now know that glass breaks easily. Wait, I already knew that.

I just met the somewhat smaller and lazier cousin of the Very Large Array -- the Very Long Nap. Oops. No productive rages for me today.

I'm glad I read the last bit of Natter in catch-up mode; I can't hold my breath that long. IOW, yay, msbelle! And for a decent back-to-school night.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I had a small nap. But even with it, I am totally almost ready for bed already.

I am cooking beef orzo (okay, venison orzo) for the SO and I'm really happy to have someone to cook for. Also? Healthier than what I've been eating by myself.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I am so sleepy (since I have been up since 2am) and I think I am never going to sleep.

I also can't stop laughing because a Facebook friend's dog got into a traffic accident with an Amish buggy. The dog is OK

Nightmarish new wrinkle in a project at work has me praying that the client's content management application can't be modified to actually accept the changes they sprang on us in a surprise gotcha meeting this morning. It'll be so much easier if we have to stick to the format/standards we've been working from the last few weeks.

Because books.

Heh.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Good news, msbelle!

On the Nancy Ann C. Yancy thing, I thought I remembered reading that there was an actual Nancy Ann Cianci, married to the governor of Rhode Island or something like that, but the internet seems to have differing opinions on whether or not that's an urban legend.

That's actually where our game came from. I just went with Yancy because it was there. I think we also had bits about hypnotism (trancy) and jousting (lancy). I wish I could remember how we worked them all into one convoluted sentence.
