Liese, for normal Moon-viewing, a Barlow lens is a good idea. It reduces the brightness while increasing magnification.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You know that moment when you click on a link and then you process the context and realise you're looking at some stranger's brother's dick?
Yeah, that moment. Why do I haz it? IO9, fer crissakes, is supposed to treat me better than this.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
I'm pretty sure I've told this, but I have about the least romantical non-proposal story: I had taken my Ambien, and was struck by the pre-sleepy hungries and was eating a bowl of broccoli and cheese in a t-shirt and panties while D was watching...Job Stewart? Probably.
In that weird Ambien-induced haziness, I was chatty and, between bites, asked, "So what do you think about getting married" or some such. And D was all "I was assuming we would. I want to."
I was all CHOMP CHOMP -- "Really?! Oh, that's good." CHOMP CHOMP.
"Um...are we engaged now?" I says.
D ponders. "...Yes? Don't you want a ring, though?"
"Yes, but not this second." Pause of about a minute.
"HOLY SHIT ARE WE GETTING MARRIED?!?!"
"...Er...Yes."
" I LOVE YOU ZOMG FLAIL!!!"
And then I think I maybe posted, and texted a few friends, and then passed out.

Looks like Kelly's plane has finally taken off. Though the web couple by misleading me. I pick her up around 11pm. Only an hour later than expected. I can't wait to see my girl!!!

Yes, it is.
And clean and shop and swim (which I'll probably want to do all day) and manicure. And I keep jiggering the schedule and I'm not sure how the hell it will happen. But it must.

Xmas shopping fail. I went out and spent an enormous amount of money today. Of that, like two things are actual gifts (one for someone I already have something for) and the rest, not so much.
On the plus side, I have a shiny new flatscreen tv and HD DVR.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Just in case anyone was wondering, TJ's candy cane Joe Joe's ice cream is pretty tasty.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
From watching the Mo'nique Show, Aldis Hodge seems to be a momma's boy, both in the "raised real well" way and in the "she better like your ass" way.
If anyone needs to know.
