Fahim's beard is getting a bit straggly - he refused to trim it, and the longest bits are about six or eight inches long. But now, oddly, it's starting to split into two like a natural part. Go figure.
I keep telling him he ought to braid it. That'd be cool. He refuses, and I just can't imagine why . . .

I am not at all surprised that comment prompted a sister to post a picture. And Eljay seems to really like sharing the Ride the Pig pic. On beard length in the second one, it's a little hard to tell what's the beard and what's the hair.

I said I wasn't surprised, Goody. And, on the grand scale of pictures of me available on the internet, neither of those is even remotely compromising. Not even close.

I applaud those who are donating their hair. You've made some children very happy to have hair again. I know quite a few children with cancer who have lost their hair. Thank you for making a difference.

I think we have pictures... but mostly it was video. Video of a bunch of kids sliding down a big inflatable water slide. And uh, yeah, some of us grown ups too.
And one of Robert's friends' moms asked Lindsay "if her mom was home".

I only heard about from Ron today. I was wondering out loud why Jonny's mom seemed so distressed when I went out to meet her as she was dropping him off.
I was trying to fill a few more balloons and snarf a piece of pizza at the same time, so I wasn't outside when the first kid arrived. Ben came in shouting, "Somebody wants a MOM outside!" I rushed out and she asked me twice if I was Robert's mom. We had only met briefly at school functions before, and I'm sure I looked a bit... frazzled.
Plus, there were all these grown ups milling around outside (Ron's brother and his girlfriend, Ben and Lindsay, Nash who had ppicked up the waterslide with his truck, my sister, etc.) I'm sure it was confusing.
DAVE won a heated game of Star Wars OT trivia, but still lost since it only proved he was the biggest nerd among us. BTW, Judy bought me the Saga edition with dvds for my birthday, so next time we can have a real showdown. My bet is on Wendy - she almost had you!
[BRAG] I was just about to beat Dave, our illustrious SCAD film graduate, at YOu Don't Know Jack, film edition, when my traitorous computer crashed.
But I still claim victory. NYAH!

We re-watched the WenchCon video from this year, starting with the Bard Contest. Nash said he wants to meet Jenny G *innocent blink* I DID tell him she was taken, though. I think it Frisco's indecent body pans that did it. I SOO did not hit him hard enough for that.

*sighs* I still can't believe I said 'Leavesden Studios' instead of 'Elstree Studios'.

Hey, Wendy was allowed to skip an insanely easy question just because it referred to the Special Edition. When it comes to Saga, she's toast. Toasty toast.
...But I'll take the challenge!

I don't care what anyone says, Ponderosa to me will always be a steakhouse.

This is the first I knew about this Bard contest. I was amazingly impressed. Andrea and Judy had me impressed enough, and then came Sarah who completely blew me away. Wowsers.

Yes, and he made it clear in ways I won't repeat that this fact wasn't viewed as any sort of problem.

I like how Nash was asking your boys, "She has nice hips, doesn't she? Don't you think she has nice hips? Those are great hips."

Oh yeah, Lucky - Ben wants me to tell you that his feelings are hurt for you not coming to see us more often. And no, he won't take 'busy with work' as an excuse. You can take that up with him.

I realize that it might be easy to confuse me with Wonder Woman. The hair, the wonderfulness, etc. However, I unfortunately do not share her ability to accomplish tasks at lightning speed. And while I'm forced to work 40 clinical hours while writing at least 15 pages worth of research papers a week, I cannot be pulled away on road trips. Not even to see some extremely cool people such as yourselves.

I prefer "appreciative" to "indecent". You girls are smokin'.
I think I'll carry a camera around the whole time, next year. I'm still kicking myself for not having footage of Abby changing into her Gandalf cloak in front of everyone.

Wait 'til I get Andrea after you! She's really much better at the Evil than I am. I'm all talk.

I'm trying to be afraid, but all I can think of is Andrea in a vynil bodysuit, Sexy Boots, and brandishing a riding crop.

I was thinking something more along the lines of "It puts the lotion on, or it gets the hose." Asuming, of course, that that does nothing for you.

Just bumped this to say I'm sorry, since I'm a firm believer in public apologies for public offenses.
The truth is, I can't stand to see myself in pictures or on film. This is my problem, not anyone else's, and I had no right to get snippy with anybody. I was the one who showed it, after all, so I have no call to be embarrassed by it. I just am. Mea Culpa

I think... I think I hate the lascivious reputation I seem to have here at Hatrack. I mean, I kid around. I've got a mouth on me, that's true, but I really am very serious about morality in RL. I mean, my husband and I won't watch movies that try to justify or romanticize adultery. We don't have cable, so we can control our input. My family is everything to me... I just don't talk much about the things that are sacred to me, at least not here.
So, when somebody vaguely remembers a thread about somebody having gay cats, it MUST be me, 'cause I'm all bout TEH GAY (misspelling intentional). CT is the one with the manlove kitties, btw.
I just want to NOT hurt people with things I say. I get careless. Thanks for understanding.
