Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

[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.

Having cramps again, want a hug from Hubby. Trying not to cry where customers can hear. A billion hugs from all the wonderful people in world can't touch the hole inside. Fuck it.

It just sucks, Connie.

I'm sorry, Connie. I wish there was more I could do or say.

I'm at the Joe Hill signing ridiculously early, but I have a feeling that may be a good thing for this kind of thing. I've got a cappuccino and the book being signed and I'm going to grab a seat in the signing area soon and read. It is good to occasionally remind myself I can do things like this on my own.

I killed the thread good before I left. I'm home from the signing, which was so much fun! I was very anxious to be there alone, but I ended up meeting some very interesting people. Including a nice couple who plan on naming their baby to be River, after River Song.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

It's been slow the past couple days.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Did you ask them about River Tam, sj? I'm glad you had a good time.

I did, I told them that they could get two fandoms in at once with River, Firefly and Doctor Who, and they smiled. The compromised on the middle name which the father wanted to be Song. I can't remember if they said they were going with Melody or Amy, something Doctor-ish. I wish I had been bold enough to get their contact info.

I'm going in to work an hour early tomorrow, bosslady is bringing a dietician to the house to meet with some of us staff to help us hone our healthy menu planning skills. I'm going to ask this one rather pointedly about corn's status as a vegetable. I keep preaching "corn is a grain" and getting "no, I swear my dietician told me it was a vegetable" as a response. Now, I'm not saying corn is horrible (except for those who cannot tolerate it) - I'm just saying it needs to be counted as a grain/starch when planning a balanced meal. I'm expecting the response from this dietician to be something along the lines of "people hear what they want to hear and remember what they want to remember, but the dietetics profession does not think corn is anything other than a grain."

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Man, I wish it were a veggie. Then a bowl of Corn Pops would get a serving of veggies out of the way! (Also, I like the way you phrase it, calling corn a grain. I have a food-police friend who made a snotty comment one time about corn and carrots being "a bowl full of sugar." *Actual* corn, not Corn Pops. That's just snarky and shitty and food police-y.)

Now I want Corn Pops.

ION, I think I'd better go to Urgent Care today, partly for Day 3 of this migraine, but partly because my right ear (which is on the side that the migraine affects and the canal hurts SO MUCH [which is par for the course with a bad migraine]) is swollen. Like, the outer ear part. And possibly the canal. That's new. And troubling.

I've got one quick think to turn in for work, and then I'm going to saddle up and go.

Ugh, migraine. Yay Corn-Pops (not that I have any, dang it). Boo jerky friend.
