As for the PixDesigns. Aw! And yes, I have bookmarked all the posts (proposal, acceptance, and PoV) Hopeless romantic.
Off to bed for me. I have to work tomorrow. Wheee!
The whole earth may be sucked into Hell, and you want my help 'cause your girlfriend's a big ho?

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Nah, dear. It wasn't a request. But thanks. And good night.
And yeah, Kristin, I read it. It was a wonderful account-of-things. Thank you.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
You know, if there is a God, they have some freaking sense of humor.
I went to photocopy some papers, to burn time until my bus will leave. On the radio: Circle of Life.
Yay timing.
Off to my parents.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
(((Shir))) Oh, honey - I'm so sorry for your loss. And I think the library impulse is a lovely one, actually - it's such a great thing to have books that a loved one has loved. I have a book of poetry and a Complete Shakespeare that belonged to my maternal grandfather, whom I never met, and it's a lovely connection.
As Tara said, No. Yes. It's always sudden.
You know, I kept saying that the other week, and trying to explain that The Body was just insanely good, and scarily on the ball, and non-Buffista-type people were just looking at me like I was from Venus.

Pix, I loved getting to hear your side of things!

I love that Kristin responded on the board before waking Drew up. Appropriate, right?

“Not dead yet!”
I can't imagine a better proposal, a better community, or a better husband-to-be. Yay!
You realize now the two of you have to adopt all of us, right?

not your mom's socks.
{{Shir}} our sympathies and much comfort to you and your family.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Thanks for your POV narrative, Kristin. All of this definitely needs to be memorialized. I'm sure that I'm not the only person who occasionally needs to be able to go back and read absolutely wonderful bits of life to make up for the utter crap that happens ordinarily - and y'all's happiness is definitely likely to be a powerful antidote to a lot of badness.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Shir, I lost my grampy (my favourite person in the universe) a few years ago. It sucks. Eat brownies. I hope you managed to figure out a solution for your eyes.
Kristin, that story of your version of events was fab. As is your new tagline.
ION: I AM DONE!
I have, after two weeks of hell, finished the final bloody paper for my bloody MA in bloody Disability Studies. While I'm not quite qualified-for-nothing yet, as I have a dissertation to write, I am now officially nearly there. Hurrah.
And then the panic over PhD funding can recommence (if I do OK on the papers, which I won't know about for a while yet). Also figuring out what I'm doing with my life for the next year, assuming I don't get funded yet (the economy is making a big mess of university funding over here). Also, driving home for five hours and seeing if I can get there in time to catch The Girl's latest play. Also, since I've barely eaten in two weeks, food might be a good idea at some point...

{{{Shir}}} I'm so sorry for your loss.
Kristin, that's a great story! Congrats again.
