I feel all oneroused out for the time being.
I read that as a portmanteau of "onerous" and "aroused" and thought the difficulty of doing your taxes turned you on.
I've been out of the abbey two days, I've beaten a lawman senseless, I've fallen in with criminals. I watched the captain shoot the man I swore to protect. And I'm not even sure if I think he was wrong.

Hey baby, that's a mighty big deduction you've got there!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
ita, I haven't received one in like 2.5 months, and I need them too. I was receiving them regularly before that, though. Maybe it's an LA thing.

BloodBath carries my favorite beech sheets. That I refuse to buy full price. I also save the coupons for the sodastream refills and syrups.

Heh. Nerdiest form of masochism ever?

Get ready to itemize, I've got the long form, baby.

I had fun, Kat! I'm sorry I couldn't hear them very well, but they were great. I can't believe so many kids showed up before school for that. Very cool.
Well, I also bring them breakfast. They also LOVE the fact that they get to keep the books we read. For the kids at my school who are readers, free books matter!
On World Book Night, we're doing an event my school, inviting kids from local elementary schools. We're going to do a whole bunch of events, including a hunt for the gingerbread man in the school, puppet theater, a book walk (cake walk with books!). The NHS kids are running it and the book club kids are helping. I'm super excited!

My elem used to do field trips where fifth and sixth graders were partnered to kinder and first. Usually to the roller rink (it wasn't a long walk) but also White Sands and local museums. Everybody pretty much loved it and I can't recall it ever going wrong. Older kids were being asked to be responsible, younger kids got to hang with the cool older kids, and let me tell you, the youngers just would adore the olders, which to any fifth or sixth grader? Being elevated to godlike status by these wee things? Turns them into utter sap. I think there was one badass I remember being unmoved. One.
To be fair, smallish neighborhood school where even the teachers lived.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I have caught up and am now too sleepy to respond to anything. Still have to say how much I deeply appreciate you, JZ, for your insight and your knowledge and your sane and compassionate Catholicism.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Aw, Zen, thanks! Your regard and good opinion are not easily earned, I know, and I cherish them and want to be worthy of them.
I talked another troll down from the ledge on the NCR comment threads -- Lies Of Feminism Lady is now all overwhelmed by gently proffered facts, being nice and concilatory and I-had-no-idea-ish and God-blessing me. So I'm soldiering on, attempting to bring religion and reason ever so slightly closer together, inch by inch, one troll at a time.
