Yes, yes, a thousand times yes. I would go in a heartbeat. To be one of the first people to set foot on a new world? To live there and have experiences that no human in history has ever had, expand human knowledge in ways that no one has been able to before?

That was completely unintentional. I've always kind of liked Mischa Barton. I thought she showed a lot of potential in this odd little movie, and she is talented, but that Hollywood Lifestyle can really kick the shit out of you, I guess. Wasted talent's a sad thing, but she's still young, so who knows what the future…

Isn't it funny that even though there are two women in the header, everyone on this thread, myself included, immediately assumed you meant Morena and not Beth?

Heh, I saw that pic and my first thought was these people should breed to insure that future generations will have people to swoon over.

I caught one of those Animal Planet Top 10 Most Whatever shows once where they did felids. I think the qualifier was range of prey animals or something similar. Top of the list, higher than lions and tigers and bear(cats) oh my? Housecats. Basically they're 5-10 kilos of walking death and will hunt, kill, and eat…

Any fans of Neil Gaiman's Sandman comic here? Yes, I realize I'm not on IO9.

His family didn’t understand his passion, he told me one recent afternoon. Hutcherson, who is African-American, offered a cultural explanation: “Generally, black people don’t like cats.”

Your average housecat is actually one of the most efficient killers on the planet. It's really only the vast difference of scale that keeps us off their menu.

Well that does make it a pretty easy choice...

THIS is what Anna Wintour looks like without those welding goggles? Holy crap, they add like a century to her age.

One of the most beautiful women in the 'VERSE, if you please. She's one of the most in demand Companions in the entire system.

I'm picturing your mom as a Dynasty -era Joan Collins.

I am totally okay with that, Anakin.

My sister's a nurse, about half the people we grew up with became nurses or work in the medical field, and I go to a dialysis center three times a week, so I spend a lot of time around nurses, techs, and other medical professionals. Their acceptable topics of table conversation tend to be more....eclectic than usual.…

'Salright. You're among friends here.

There was a poster with your issue in an open thread a week or two ago; absolutely zero desire. Anyway, late in the post-or maybe even in a response-she revealed that she was taking Zoloft. The response was immediate and unanimous: maybe a dozen people, myself included, wrote back that Zoloft had annihilated their sex…

For the record, I will happily watch Gossip Girl with you.

Congratulations on your week. Most of it anyway. You sound like someone who would have utterly fascinating dinner conversation.

Forty-two minutes. For politeness's sake.

Ok, that Wodehouse advice is positively brilliant.
