It is, after all, easier to play Scrabble when you use I-Am-A-12-Year-Old-Boy rules.
12 year olds aren't allowed to play Scrabble. I don't understand.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because books.
Words with Friends rejected "elven" from me. Infuriating.

Scola, did I ask you about zoom lenses, or did I get distracted in my job-induced irritability? As in, do you? If not, is it for photo quality reasons?
My sister thinks she's getting "something for the fridge". Not 100 somethings, plus tiles for special score tiles.
She asked me to send her pictures of Tom Hardy because she has a FWB she's trying to convince of his hotness. I think that's a nifty problem to have with your FWB, and I'm highly touched she reached out to me for expert help. I hope I was helpful.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Ugh. I've been fighting idiots at the NY Review of Books. We need a reproductive-rights-discussion corollary of Godwin's Law -- the longer any such discussion goes on, the probability of someone saying, "Some people don't believe fetuses are human? Some people used to not believe that slaves were human either" approaches one.
And they always say it with this triumphant, patronizing, now-I-have-all-the-moral-high-ground-and-I-just-kicked-your-science-and-logic-in-the-nuts tone that just makes me want to reach back in time and kick their goddamn grandfather in the nuts. Both their grandfathers, just to be on the safe side. And I'm a crunchy pacifist Jesus freak!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Wait, I believe fetuses are human. I just don't believe they're people.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I'm willing to believe they are human and people (though certainly not independent people) and abortion is bad (which I DO believe all of those things) and STILL believe that I don't have to right to regulate anyone else's body!
I have a class with all of the African-American kids in it. They were looking at a stump speech from Rick Santorum today and discussing Ron Paul stating that universal education should not be mandatory especially funded by the government. One kid, A, said he agreed with Ron Paul. I said I found it ironic that an African American kid, who 170 years ago would have been denied any possibility of getting an education, was perfectly happy giving his up.
Made everyone else in his group gape.
