I think it's crazy both that she is eight and that we were posting about her birth here. Time flies, man.
Zoe: Planet's coming up a mite fast. Wash: That's just cause, I'm going down too quick. Likely crash and kill us all. Mal: Well, that happens, let me know.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My office is swampy. And I managed to bruise my collarbone doing up the snaps on my jacket. Who does that?!?

Happy birthday, Emeline! Pretty soon you'll be eighteen and can move back to Hollywood as is right and proper.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Pshah, she is obviously just a wee little thing because I can still remember everyone posting about your wedding.
But happy, happy birthday, beautiful big girl!
My favorite Emeline memory is a slightly selfish one -- Emmett cradling her gently and talking quiet goofy kid-talk to her on the docks heading back from the SF2F visit to Alcatraz. He loathed the prospect of being a big brother, and had laid his head down and wept when he was told Matilda was on the way, but when confronted with an actual small girl (especially one as elfin and charming as Emeline), he just stepped into quasi-big-brotherness with such utter content and confidence. At one point Hec leaned over and said, "You okay, big boy? You need someone else to take her?"
Emmett waved him off. "No, I'm fine. I can hold her a while longer." And Emeline looked utterly content, and entertained, and had that look a little kid has when she knows she's totally safe. Which is when we both knew that however awful a theoretical little sister might be, Emmett was going to be just fine once she became actual. That Emeline moment became a touchstone for me throughout the pregnancy. He's so mad. He hates me. I'm ruining his life... Remember Emeline? It's all going to be fine. He doesn't know it yet, but it is. Just remember Emeline.
Mwah! Thousand kisses, awesome brainy dizzy quirky Scout girl, and her most excellent parents.

JZ, that so beautiful.
Em was so distinctively Em from such an early age. Can't believe it's been so long. Happy birthday!

Happy Birthday, Em!!!
Scandal: Based on the super obvious commercials they have been showing for the last couple of weeks, I was sure that it was going to be a misdirect, and someone other than the President would be shot. Honestly, I expect better from this show. Does anyone think that The First Lady was behind it, and that is why she decided she didn't want to go at the last moment?

call me jacki; zuisa is an internet nick from ancient times =)
I had to go in for my appraisal this afternoon, and I got a promotion!
I get a raise and MY OWN ROOM on my next ship. This is glorious news.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I was just thinking yesterday how my overall problem with TVD is that there are no heroes. They've got moral quandaries and dilemmas but they don't address them as such, it's just a lot of expedience and moping.
Aw, Emeline was a wee baby at the NOLA F2F, she can't be 8!
Eta: congrats, zuisa!
