Banishing snakes from the land.

I'll drink to that, thank you.

Oh, no. This isn't very good.

This isn't very good at all, I don't think.

And with only a couple of days. More than an inconvenience, really, but as disturbing as those problems may be, my own problems can't even be the worst of it.

Not good.

After all of that business with the zombies, Christmas was appropriately quiet. I enjoyed it greatly, seeing as it was spent largely in the company of some of my favorite former students, and seeing as it was the first one I spent in any kind of decent company in quite a handful of years ( Read more... )

Who would have thought that inobtrusiveness could be ( Read more... )

A Lindy Hop!

I didn't think it was so bad. There are worse things in the world to wake up to than dancing with someone. Probably not worth the black eye, though, especially since we've gone and not even won the silly thing, and here I can't even remember most of it in my mind's eye. It's like a foggy blank. Somewhat disconcertingBut still, could ( Read more... )

I just wanted to thank everyone who spoke with me the other day. Listening to all of you kept me as calm as I needed to be until Ronald came to rescue me from the cold. Your concern and interest was greatly appreciated, and I hope that we can continue speaking in the future. I'll re-pay your kindnesses ( Read more... )
