If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

$20 seems worthwhile. 9 hours??

Where does SW even go that takes 9 hours?

they will still speak in Farsi even if he's around, thus excluding him from the conversation. That does strike me as rude.

My aunt's family will do this sometimes (Tagalog, not Farsi) but it's more when they're all in a big group (and there's usually about 20 of them on holidays) it's just more natural and they forget. It's funny because they'll catch themselves and someone will bring the conversation to a screeching halt and they restart in English. When I'm there anyway. My uncle I probably think could honestly care less so it may just be that he's conditioned them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm still traumatized from the duster girl on Intervention. She's got to be one of the most fucked-up people ever on that show.

East coast to west. Via Ohio and Nevada.

Duster? Someone wanna dust for me? It's kinda grossing me out and yet I can't be arsed.

The computer cleaner spray-can stuff. She just sucked on it constantly.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I had NO IDEA what a whippet was (though I was fairly sure it was not a big skinny dog), nor that anyone would suck on pressurized noxious vapors in a can. Are there any kids left with traditional values who just smoke good old-fashioned joints in the bathroom during study hall?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Bob bob's father didn't want him to learn Greek b/c in the 70s he thought it might adversely affect his integration into US culture. Now my in-laws use it (or Italian) against us both.

In ninth grade we smuggled in vodka to drink at lunch the day we had rolling skating in gym!

Good times.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

My father's family mostly spoke Russian amongst themselves. He didn't speak it to us at home or try to teach it to us at all, but he'd mostly talk to his mother and brother in Russian because they were more comfortable in it. I never picked up any, I don't think my sister did, my brother took Russian in school and speaks it with a Southern drawl. My mom took some Russian in college and can understand it pretty well, and, you know, as far as I was concerned it was just a little easier to tune out than adults talking about stuff I wasn't interested in in English, so it never seemed rude.
