People who you don't know that see a copy of UT in your hand and say, "Do you also read Tolkien?" I wish such occurances happened more often.

Because my character in the RPG we're playing is a dwarf. I have no idea why our chats about him almost always turn to sex even though it could be argued that the sex life of dwarves is an oxymoron. Either way it's fun.

Having working heat in your car and nice warm gloves.

Nerdy friends.

Oranges and almonds.

Finding pretty clothes.

Good days.

I can't remember how long I'd had that avvie (since I've been fairly inactive this year) and at the moment I'm so enamoured by K.J. Bishop's novel that anything else as a location would feel wrong.

(It's your belt. Would you like me to send it to you?)
