Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I saw it yesterday. AWESOME! Also, the en dash IS the worst punctuation mark.

It is known.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

No Jesse, on my bed. With an ice pack. I just feel so useless and I knew I was pushing myself too hard, so only myself to blame.

Well, there's your message to stop pushing, at least?

Y'all. I just came across this amazing chart of people at all different heights/weights. I definitely think I look like the people who weigh ~20 pounds more than I do. Huh. Huh. [link]

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

At Pub Quiz tonight, there was a question about a dance from 1987. I wrote down "Da Butt", but the answer was "The Cabbage Patch". I had the right year, but the wrong dance.

Nice, Tom! People should've gotten extra credit if they could do the dance, I would totes want to see that. :) I"ve started doing a pub quiz on Thursdays with a friend, but next week is a special "Bob's Burgers" one? And I've never seen the show.

Interesting chart...I have no idea how I look compared to the people, because so many of them look so different!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I made it home!

In four years, presuming we're still having elections, remind me not to visit my parents during either political convention.

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

I hear you on the qualifier, aurelia. I'm glad you made it home.

Our wings are not tired.

In states the obvious news, the media is really pissing me off with the continuous search for controversy.

Good Monday all!
