oh. I mean... not exactly. it is not entirely in that time, at the same time as it is?

and no, unfortunately, there is no way she can wriggle out of going to this art thing without making her roommate really pissed off and disappointed. this girl has been planning this thing for like a month, and it is important that her roommates show up and support her. also... the girl I am going on the date with volunteered for kind of an important part of it.
also, it would be so much easier to use names, but I am avoiding that.

You could always use fake names, such as Grebenna or possibly Jarleene.

[littlefallsmets]

Or you could give them male names, in hopes that the imagery would draw Nabu back into our little world.

That would always be good.

[chuanoplast]

Male names such as Minakle and Stewevel?

(Guess who has not slept since yesterday.)

When Pedro was a little kid, he used to taunt another boy in the neighborhood by saying, "Your mama's name is Gretchen...Gretchenanna Jones!" 

That might be the best little-kid insult in the world.  "Grebenna" reminded me of it, for some reason. 

Gretchenanna. 

[jaydub]

I've often thought that Gretchen is an awesome parallel world name.  As in - I'd never name my kid that here, but its an awesome name.  You don't mess around with Gretchen.  She'll kick your butt and write a short story detailing your defeat.

Seven books seems like a lot for a 20 page paper.

[theinevitable]

is it? i have never written anything over 10 pages, unless I'm forgetting something.

the main issue is that my class is on Memory, so I think I need to find something memory-ish... and each book potentially has little bit at most about memory.

so, I just talked to the lady, and she said "um, I feel like a tool, I forgot that I had to go to this art thing. Maybe we can get dinner tomorrow instead?" I said that maybe I was going to go to the art thing tonight anyway. Hmm. Tim and Eric. I don't know about this choice at all.

[jaydub]

Perhaps a memoir?

Is there something really insulting about the name "Gretchenanna Jones" that I'm not twigging to?

[jay-ell]

No, that's the thing.  It's totally not an insult, but it still made the other kid cry. 

[Golfhaus]

No, that's the thing.  It's totally not an insult, but it still made the other kid cry. 

Oh, man, childhood insults from before you learned how to swear. There was a kid on our bus named P.J. We called him "Humperdinkle PJ" and his friends "The Humperdinkle Gang." Another girl, Suzie, came from Circumstances that we were always sensitive to by holding our breath every time we drove past her house. Even now, when my sister and I go back to the old neighborhood every year or so to see what's changed, we still hold our breath past that damn house.

Is it Cape Buffalo season already?

[Golfhaus]

I already run a 460g lead bullet from Cast Performance at 1550 fps for Buffalo/Bear/Moose/Chupacubra.

Today I'm working up a 300g jacketed Hornady HP with a 1925 fps goal for +2.5 at 100, +0.5 at 150 and -6 at 200 for everything from bunnies to black bear.

Handloading has all the fun of science with component selection and mix, assembly and caliper/micrometer measuring, neat toys like a chronograph and EXPLOSIONS and DESTRUCTION to calm the mad scientist within. Me likee lots.

This shows how suburban my life has been - I thought you were talking about cameras. "Why does he need that quick a frame-per-second rate for a fuck*ng bunny?"

Because bunnies are fuckin' fast, that's why.
