What’s that saying? Life’s too short to dance with ugly guys? Modify for this situation as you see fit.

Giraffe, maybe someday I will visit your board. I’m sure it’s awesome. I waste too much time on the internet as it is (obviously), and I’m seriously too lazy to make much further effort to join more boards. Maybe over the summer, after Second Stone has had his rabies shot, I’ll check it out. Seems as if there are a lot of cool people over there. Fenris is a mod, after all. Major points for that.

Yeah, it’s off. Guin came over to defend Ruby’s “honor” and I was just really mean to Guin, so much so that I’m embarrassed about it. I’m sorry Guin. Still not sorry about Jodi the high and mighty though. And her sock Ruby. (JSGoddess has had a crappy year, which I’d forgotten about.)

Do you even know what “sock” means?

OoOOo you’re just looking to get YOUR dance card punched, aren’t you? Bringing meanings and facts and logic into this, you brave soul.

Yes, I’m wearing two as I speak. And sometimes to entertain children, I’ll pull clean ones out of the draw and do puppetry. So we are clear, I was yesterday accusing Jodi of being Rubystreak and JSGoddess as one and the same person because the Jodi sock would say something and then not defend it, but the other socks would as though they were alternate personalities. Now, of course they are really three people, but you are aware that is how girls do verbal fights on schoolyards? I used to be a day camp counsellor, and it was rather interesting to watch the girls bait a boy. One starts it and looks all innocent when she doesn’t continue it and then the girls do a tag team on the boy. He looks like a jerk for having so many girl enemies.

Oh, and lawyers are scum. It’s a new day.

I am so seeing a new sitcom (or Disney movie!) in my head:

14 year old Gary Geekness is going to camp!  
Camp WeSue’EmandHow–a camp for precocious academic kids. There he is bullied by Lilly Legal and Annabel AttorneyToBe. Watch all the high-jinks as Gary comes to term with his hormones and his _ad hominems_!

Rated PG-13 for language.

A Church day camp up to about the sixth grade. A place to drop the kids for the day in summer. If you’ve never tried to supervise little girls, I’d suggest avoiding it.

What has my crappy year to do with you being an idiot?
