And the girl's parents were plesantly surprised by my Sister's good manners and complimented my Grandmother on them.
If she's so well-mannered how come she was such a bitca the year you were both living with your Mom?
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

[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.

The status is NOT quo.
Though my favorite is meeting people who just presume that everybody who lives in a city is likely to be murderized the second they walk out the door. "I would never live in a city!"Heh. Yeah. I get that a lot back home when I say I live in L.A. Given where I spend most of my time, I find it hysterical.
I've gotten a lot of anti-Yankee bias any time I've been in the South and in Texas. It annoys me sometimes, but not enough to get worked up about. I do think in terms of bias against Southerers, though, that the stereotype of being stupid would bother me.
Oh wait. Blonde. Right.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I am a Formula 1 fanHow did I not know this? Why have we not been sharing in this love? Who do you like? Sorry. Got a little fangirly glee going on there.
They don't have guys with sharpened screw drivers waiting for you at the turnstyles.No, it's even scarier than that. There were people who wanted me to engage in ... casual conversation with them. On the subway! Dude, be aloof. And don't talk to the misanthrope. It's just confusing.

My love belongs to Lewis Hamilton. And let me tell you, I just switched to Digital Cable for the sole purpose of getting the Speed Channel.

Oooh, we can have a friendly rivalry and talk strategies. For my heart belongs to Kimi. I loathe Massa. Hamilton is a fantastic driver and I can't wait to see what he does in the next few years. I am entirely unsympathetic to Alonso being in a subpar car this year. And I do little dances when Bourdais' teammate out-qualifies him because I am a petty person and don't like him even if he is a technically good driver.
I chose my cable package entirely to get Speed too. And it's the only channel I checked when they came to hook it up.

Oh! And the team covering F1??? The Sarcasm Channel. I love them like whoa. Especially Bob Varsha. He's smart and snarktastic.

Heh. One of the LJ spotlights this week is glittercupcakes. Anyone else think that Jilli should make an appearance? I'm so amused by their cute little girly cupcake squees!

Mostly lurking...
I have something so mock worthy, but I just can't bring myself to post it here. Maybe a locked LJ post. Maybe.
Also, you people funny.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Aw, Kristin - it's like they're Jilli's worshipful congregation AND THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW IT YET! There they are, aspiring to frilly glittery cupcakedom and not suspecting that the incarnation of all that is exquisitely feminine, stylish, perky, crinolined and cupcake-esque is living and breathing and working in Seattle.
Bless!
