Damn. Maria made me cry.
Me three.
Xander: Look who's got a bad case of Dark Prince envy. Dracula: Leave us. Xander: No, we're not going to "Leabbb you." And where'd you get that accent, Sesame Street? "One, Two, Three - three victims! Maw ha ha!"
'Lessons'
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!

We're all getting played with, babe. -Weird Barbie
This is pretty much what I said to the BF last night; that she has an amazing way of making one feel like they're exactly the person she most wanted to meet.
This this this.
Also, thank you everyone for taking the time to tell such vivid stories about this trip. It truly has been such a group effort and group experience. I am honored and excited to have been a small part of it.
Important edit: This is not just monkey-grooming. I truly do feel honored.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Oh damn, Maria made me cry, too.
Quick, somebody run to JFK and Nillynap her. I'm just not ready for her to go.

Also, thank you everyone for taking the time to tell such vivid stories about this trip.
It has been so wonderful reading all the stories. It made me feel like I was there, even though I was far away. Thank you.

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.
It has been fantastic to read the Nilly!stories, and to have confirmed that she has the same graciousness in person that she has on this board.
Also, how much do I love Cindy's story about the HMC and sgnM?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I put up the beginning of my Nilly reportage in my livejournal.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
Nilly was very excited that I had kosher bread, peanut butter, and jelly, because she'd never had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich before, and wanted to know what it tasted like.
That Nilly. Such a hoot.
And an Enigma! They had a three-wheel and a four-wheel Enigma! I really need to get out to that cryptography museum sometime.
Dude!! And right after having finished Cryptonomicon, too.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
It was a tiny pot filled with soil, and a packet of seeds. So, flowers from Israel.
Yikes! I have no doubt that Nilly meant well, but this was not a good idea. Had Customs noticed there would have been lots of bureaucratic trouble and possibly a fine of up to $1000.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
No, not if you had seen the packaging. Everything was factory sealed, no different than the packaged food she brought. She made it through El Al, and customs, just fine.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
I have posted some of last night's photos here.
