I'm so exhausted today that I can't quite parse Cindy's post. Too many abbreviations.
Summary: "Honey, don't worry, he's gay," can defuse a lot of jealousy.
Harken: You fought with Captain Reynolds in the war? Zoe: Fought with a lot of people in the war. Harken: And your husband? Zoe: Fight with him sometimes, too.
'Bushwhacked'
F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?
Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

Ann, that's a ferret.

What is even happening?
What Fred said, well...except he wasn't even jealous.
I'm feeling a bit like I tried to float a lead balloon. Since none of you know dh, and since no one else was there to see the look truly funny look on his face while I was all Matt-likes-carrots, it was probably foolhardy to try.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Also, I don't find the idea of shrubbery moving around freely comforting.
There's a "Knights who say 'Ni!'" joke in there somewhere, but for the life of me I can't figure one out.
And Birnam Wood.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I'm totally getting it, and grinning broadly.
The extra-funny thing to me is that, having met Matt, I'd bet you anything that if Scott had been there and met Matt himself, he'd've fallen under his spell too and spent the entire ride home nodding and saying, "You're right, honey, Matt does like carrots!"

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Gah. This has gone too fast. I miss Nilly. Weirdly, as long as she was on American soil, I felt like I could just go see her anytime.
I didn't appreciate Nilly enough when she was right here with me.
This. So very much.

And this.
I miss everybody.
But most especially this.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
Nilly's heading home today - wow.
I also miss everyone, and am pleased to be able to use little bits of regional book tour as an excuse to see everyone.
In regard to the "cruelty-free chocolate" I think that threw everyone at first - it's kind of a fair trade, ecologically friendly farming thing.
Yes, but it's actually a bit more serious than that. In the Cote d'Ivoire, for instance, cocoa beans are harvested using child slave labour. One reason I go for Sharffen Berger is that they guarantee all their beans are picked by properly paid adults, and their coffee is from Central America.

Yes, but after a looooong day at work, zipping up the street heading Nilly-ward, hearing someone talk about "Kosher, vegan, cruelty-free chocolate" makes you pause.
