The hematologist also said I apparently have mono. It seems they decided to... Ardith 2008-10-16T17:27:39-06:00 http://www.shadowcouncil.org/ardith/archives/006400.html D'oh. The first version of this got erased when I was being dumb and wrote it in a browser window which died. Commencing Take 2 in a separate editor... As some of you who read my mother's blog may have...

I promise ponies for all, and would like everyone to know that I will not, 10 minutes after my swearing-in, immediately order airstrikes on Zanzibar. This...

They might love me now as the bright young thing who actually put some effort* into this thing, but I suspect there'll be less happiness come...
