[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.

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

and then a bunch of bullshit about how brave I am and how well I do.

That one always puzzles me too. And the "you are so lucky you only have x instead of y". How is it brave to just do what ya gotta do to make it in the world? and how is it lucky to have anything bad? I would say less bad luck, but not so far as to say good luck. People are weird. I suppose both of those are better than the scout master (not mine) on a Jamboree. Asked why I was on the crutches. When I said MD, his response was "oh, I guess that means you are going to die soon. Sorry to hear that" and went on his merry way. Um. No. There are 40 different types of MD, and not all are killers. And WTF are you saying that to a kid for?!?!

Able body people are weird.

omnis, my feeling with cars is usually, better the devil you know! If it isn't costing more in repairs than a car payment would, and it's not so unreliable you fear it stranding you, keeping the one you have is probably going to be financially better.

I didn't do the a/c repair, because it's CA, and I park in garages 95% of the time. So I ignored that one. Aside from this (costly) repair, usually, it's the typical $40-60 every 10,000 miles. Maybe upto $100. Nothing compared to a car payment. And yes, the financial decision is what I went with. Emotional almost won. And yesterday was a very pouting day. But eh. I'm (mostly) over it now. I love Midori (my cars name). She's done me well. And I expect she will for another few years.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

~~Able body~~ People are weird.

I fixed that for you.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

People are weird.

Yes, this. I like these people and enjoy talking to them every week, but now they're also in the category of people that say stupid shit to me.

Another cousin has joined the herbal suplement ponzi scheme and started posting non-stop about it.

Oh g-d. Now that it's all over, I'm all kinds of nerves and paranoid, did I ask enough questions? (He covered SO MUCH of what I was prepared to talk about and ask about during the tour!) I'm actually kind of worried that I didn't come off sounding technical enough. I was ready to talk about what kind of system the theatre was going to need from top to bottom, because that was in the extended description, but he's totally hired an outside company to do that, and so a bunch of stuff I was going to talk about was irrelevant.

Argh. I'm sure I did great, but I'm having a post interview crash.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Sean, it's so easy for the brain to churn and churn and generate all kinds of worst case scenarios while waiting to hear something. I try to recognize that the brain generates thoughts like the intestines generate gas - it's kind of uncomfortable but it'll pass if you let it.

smonster, that is a brilliant way of thinking of the brain churn! I need to remember that.

Sean, ignore the brain raccoons. I bet the interview went very well.

So, brain farts?
