Great news, Susan! I know what a relief it must be.
Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

Spike's Bitches 39: Cuppa Tea, Cuppa Tea, Almost Got Shagged, Cuppa Tea...
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Yay good news! I think I have some too. Roomie tells me the brothers who want to share our spare room will be giving me rent money tomorrow.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Wonderful news, Susan!

Yay for mild rent raises!
Every seminar I attended today referenced D&D, and I don't think any of the presenters knew Gygax had died. It's just that D&D is the forefather of computer gaming, which is the engine of emergent technologies.
I have my problems with Gygax's system, but damn, huge cultural impact.
Examples: Sun's Chief Gaming Officer (what a job) talked about how we are the first generation of gamers raising gamers.
The PMOG folks riffed that Russell Crowe's character in A Beautiful Mind would be immune to Daze and Magic Missile.
The MAKE magazine team talked about how to level up and increase your INT.

Oh, shoot! I forgot tomorrow is Character Day at the school I work at. Hmmm...wonder what I can create out of what I have at home. I really meant to plan something.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
...I was with you right up until I saw a flying monkey, Raq. And then I wavered a little bit, before my sense of "Yeah, but - gross" reasserted itself.
But - winged monkey!

Winged monkey in fez!
Also, I kind of love the goth griffin being a pigeon.
vw, any character? What are the rules?

I don't know the rules, actually. I didn't even know it was spirit week until I showed up in clothes on pajama day! So, I imagine any character would be fine, though, it's a religious school, so probably should be conservative in my choice!

I should add, the kids I work with are mostly little, so if I did something, it should be something they'd recognize. Maybe I should dress up as some sort of Webkinz! Or Hannah Montana.
