Cordelia: I get it now. You're all spies. Probably all Russian. And you've brainwashed me, and want me to believe we're friends so I'll spill the beans about some nano-technology thingy that you want. Gunn: So I look Russian to you? Cordelia: Black Russian. Angel: That's a drink.

Because books.

West Chester Friends, pre-K through 5. Around here, though, not many Friends schools extend past grade 5 or 6, though, which is a shame. I met a woman in college whose daughter had just graduated from a Friends high school in Brooklyn, with a class of 9 or something. She loved it.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

I don't suppose you're referring to S____n, in Allentown/Bethlehem, PA?

M goes there. (Redacted; not the same school.) It's a wonderful school. Pricey, beyond our and the ex's fam's range (even though they chose it, wanted us to pay half (HAHAHAHAHA - NO) but it's a lovely environment. I don't even know what Ex will do in two years when their youngest starts school. They are already crazy in arrears.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

There's a reason many presidential kids end up at Friends' schools in DC.

Are there others besides Sidwell? (I was always a little bitter about them because my alma-mater was the Clintons and Obama's second-choice school.)

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

Don't wear yourself out too much if you can help it.

I made myself take a karate break today. Told my sensei I needed to hit things, so we spent the time doing pad work. I should have put on my pad gloves cause now I have a couple of ugly knuckles. I wish I could get away with taking a picture and sending that with my "I need your info NOW" e-mails.

That would be so awesome.

Actually only one knuckle still looks angry. And it is a sign I wasn't hitting the pads right. Should have been hitting with the back of my hand, not with the knuckles. Backfists are WONDERFUL for getting out your frustrations, as long as you hit right.

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

New court date is for the 21st. So, anyone with legal issues experience, how much should I be in contact with my attorney? I was told by an assistant to show up with my insurance card, and that was all. I'm more than happy to just show up with no further contact, but after this last fail, I don't want to take chances, but I don't want to badger the guy unnecessarily.

Hey Julie, I must have missed the issue. Want to reiterate?

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

I used one of my krav promo pictures in a work presentation. It was an "introduce yourself and your systems expertise to your peers across the different sites". So for some people, they've seen two pictures of me--bleached blonde hair and pink wraps, and my LinkedIn photo, which I've been told is a bit...not professional.

Man, NCIS LA just talked about Crossfit like a cult and I miss kettlebell like an excision. Hell, just being fit. I miss quads. Quads are my favourite muscle. Why wasn't that a question in the drawing challenge??? I love me some quads. Mine are long gone. There's just some padding to protect the padding from the bone. Xenia Onatopp, my spirit guide...(I went to prep school with a Xenia--not sure if she topped or bottomed in the...end)...(more ellipsis of saudade--they're a little more flavourful than the normal elision one)...(that one was aposiopesis, you dig?)

What do you think of this 911 call? It's not triggery, really, unless you don't want to think about the other things you know of the women who got free in Cleveland. I don't know how many other people called (sounds like one of the women was calling at the same time). I cannot imagine the 911 processes and just being able to handle that shit. The pressure!
