Serpentine, Shel. Serpentine.
Damn it! You know what? I'm sick of this crap. I'm sick of being the guy who eats insects and gets the funny syphilis. As of this moment, it's over. I'm finished being everybody's butt monkey!

[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 know what I hate? When I procrastinate and put something off and stress myself out about getting it done for days and then I finally suck it up and sit down and do it and it takes me goddamn 20 minutes.
Apparently, I am Brenda. I am in fact, being Brenda RIGHT NOW

I should probably never see that movie again, because it probably wouldn't match the glory of memory.

I love it, but haven't seen it in ages. After seeing it like six times, though.

For the first time ever in my work life, I have a name plate that has my name printed on something more substantial than card stock. An actual hard plastic, in a snazzy frame, printed in a way that doesn't look like it came through a Xerox machine name plate. Sure, it's hanging outside my cubicle, but damn. I feel positively loved. But I think I should avoid hugging the thing where my supervisor can see it. I'll wait till he leaves.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister
Brenda, I do that ALL THE TIME! Why do we not learn?
ION, I was my own Food Fairy! Went to Noah's Bagels and got my everything bagel and iced coffee (plus side of fruit). Nom nom nom.

Is IFG?
I got to spend much of today messing around with video footage for a work event. The hours fly by when I'm doing that. Then I came back to my desk to see an email with my official Greece trip itinerary in it. Yay!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yeah, seriously. I am brenda and meara and Glamcookie big time on this.
The office reorg was just the extension of this. It's been in bad shape for pretty much a year. And it took me two days to get it completely ordered. Two days!
I still have lots of the rough work of going through files and dealing with the papers I've turned up. But I have no doubt I'll be fully ready for the school year even with mini-vacation.
It drives me crazy that I do this with procrastination.

I have gone shopping for yummy, delicious Trader Joe's food. More surprising still? I did not buy a single item of meat.
Yes, Date Girl is vegetarian, why do you ask?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'm trying to figure out if Rosemary Kennedy went to school. I can find on the internet the names of the boarding schools where all her siblings went, but the most that I can find about her education is that her father hired some tutors to help her learn how to read and write, but nothing about anything between about age 9 and age 20 or so.
I think I need to find a book about them, rather than trying to find out little details like this from the internet.
t edit: found it. Combination of tutors and special schools.
