MM, you really must use these little conversations in your book. Seriously. Chapter could be called "Conversations with My Phone."
I would buy an entire book of just the phone conversations. They're endlessly entertaining.

Spike's Bitches 40: Buckle Up, Kids! Daddy's Puttin' the Hammer Down.
[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.

Hang in there, Sean. Could be worse.
You could be in Michigan.

Okay, re: Phone conversations...
Is there a simple way to dredge all the recent threads at once to find these things and compile them? Or am I gonna have to try to remember when I started writing the things and find the appropriate thread and search and all that?

you could just do a search on "fuckcake" and that would probably bring up most of them ;)

Searching "Phone" in this thread seems to find them and doesn't bring up too much else other than talk of iPhones.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
So, I'm having a pretty bad day. It started last night, after I got home from work. I can't really talk about it, but it's pretty bad, and I'm very sad and upset today. I have to go to work down in Costa Mesa, and I don't really want to go.
Sean, I spent most of yesterday in hysterical sobbing meltdown mode, so for whatever they're worth {{{{{{{here are some brackets}}}}}}}

Gris, I think Steph is probably right about its expectedness, but you're also right to be disappointed and to discuss it with them. There's an awful lot of "us-vs-them" in many student populations, and politeness is not always ahold of the reins -- especially in group situations.
Apparently "ahold" is not a word, but I've decided that in this situation it should be.

Calli: My people have a saying. A man who trusts can never be betrayed, only mistaken.Avon: Life expectancy among your people must be extremely short.
people boo Bush these days, and booing, by its very nature, is the same type of completely non-empathic, mob-mentality disregard for feelings. I could never boo anybody, no matter how much I dislike them, their decisions, their policies, their actions. I could boo a statement, at a speech for example. But not the person in general.
Is there no such thing as a bad person? Giving orders that result in the deaths of hundreds of thousands? Personally approving torture (as Bush has just admitted in the past four or five days)? Given that he will never suffer any legal penalty, or financial penalty, and most likely will never even have to talk to one of his victims, it seems to me that subjecting him to a social sanction makes sense.

Giving orders that result in the deaths of hundreds of thousands?
I would *totally* boo Pol Pot.
