FWIW, Ian-the-iguana-guy is hellaciously charming and smart. He's one of those guys who actually knows how to flirt in a respectful yet fun manner, so you might be surprised what could come of stopping to admire his little pet.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Am I crazy to think that if I like this, [link] I should instead buy a cheap actual wood table off craigslist and paint it? I have seen one with the same basic shape for $50, but couldn't deal with transport.
That's what I would do. I've seen postings on Craigslist that said they would deliver for mileage. You could ask the poster.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Do you have taskrabbit near you? You could get someone to do the transport pretty cheap I'd think. The painting too if you wanted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Does Ian live in Virginia?

Because books.
Aw, I liked the kitten stories.

Clocking out for the day has rarely felt as good as it did today.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ooh taskrabbit is an interesting idea. I can't drive a truck, but I can pay for one and help move the table. I will figure this out! Being a grownup is hard.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Lee, late, but I'd board Charlie if I were you.
Job~ma for Jilli!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
"Cleopatra was white, so all ancient Egyptians and their gods were white, as far as I was told by the black girl I worked with."
Cleopatra was a Ptolemy, and therefore of Macedonian descent. She doesn't really provide a point from which to extrapolate to the Egyptian populace.

Alas, SC the last I heard. He's also got leukemia at the moment.
