For a good cause... Please help.

Bad news. Real bad news, not my usual overdramatics.

Last night kittybecca's house burned down. She, her brother, their roommate, and her two young daughters lost their home and almost all of their possessions.

But you can help Becca. relevantpink has set up this website just for that purpose:
http://www.relevantpink.com/rebeccafire/

Please. Go. Look. Even if you can't afford to make a PayPal donation (and I certainly understand that, having been broke before), you may have some old clothes that will fit one of Becca's children, or a toy to lift their spirits.

Too often we look away from the problems we see because we don't know of a way to make a difference. Well, if you ever wanted to make a difference, here's your chance. Becca is one of the kindest and most generous people I've had the pleasure to meet through LJ. Let's make this a little better for her and her family.

"Whoever saves one life, saves the entire world."

EDIT: Atlanta people, especially those I see on a regular basis, I'm working on making a plan to get stuff to Becca if there's anything you want to drop off with me. Probably faster than the mail. I'll keep you posted.

Am I the only one who keeps expecting to see a guy on the side of the road with a sign that says "Will Coach Raiders For Food"?

from a phone conversation with sujata

kellinator: Shit. *pause* I swear too much.

sujata: No, I was just surprised that you didn't say 'fuck.'

kellinator: I interchange them. Shit, fuck, shitting fuck fuck shit...

sujata: But 'fuck' is your word.

kellinator: Yeah... I like 'fuck'. When you say 'fuck', you know you've said a real, Anglo-Saxon word. It's not one of those mealy-mouthed words. When I say 'fuck,' I want to go drink mead out of a goblet and grope cute Viking boys.

sujata: *giggle* You really are a swashbuckler!!
