I was under the impression that I was your big comfy blanky.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Then he casually mentions that they have been in New Zeeland the last two weeks

!!!!! That's the kind of thing you tell people!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

What Dana said. You definitely should not feel bad for calling at 6 am, because how were you supposed to KNOW?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, that is incredible all the way around!

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

They will be headed to Australia and then Japan before returning home in a couple of weeks.

Not that I want a full itinerary, but let me know when you are leaving the country dad. Gives me a flashback to 9/11 and calling him to find out WHERE he was (LA, rented a car and drove a bunch of people back to SF).

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, dad of SuziQ. Happy birthday and all, but come on, you can't send "having a great time in New Zealand" texts or whatever?

I hate that. Ostensibly they do it to avoid speculation and gossip, but in my experience it just blows it out of proportion.

Usually the official notification is totally vague but there's word of mouth scuttlebutt, someone will have the inside scoop. This time no one seems to know anything.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Raining here.

OMFG, I have too many activities coming up. Choir tomorrow, I want to go see Mallory Ortberg on Friday, a wedding Saturday, and church stuff all day Sunday, starting at 7:45 am.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Oh Suzi, your dad! I mean don't get me wrong, I'm sitting here all "Go Papa Suzi!" but letting your kids know when you are leaving the country is the proper form.

Burrell, did you eat yet?

I was eating while I posted. A girl can only go so long, and that was too long.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Have slept all day. Felt great. I have half-inch-long incisions above both eyes with still-bloody stitches (they don't hurt at all, not sure why). I'm thinking I'll draw more stitches on and go to the Halloween shindig as the Bride of Frankenstein.
