A Story About Donna

[jlyman]

Donna dragged me to Borders on Wendsday evening because an author she really likes, Neil Gaiman, was there. She promised (and swore) there would be no people in costumes. Don't believe her, there were more goths in the audience than the last time I saw The Cure in concert. It was all fine, with the author doing a bit of reading from the book, which

Why exactly did I hit you upside the head? I think that's a very relevant part.

And since the only one I hit happens to be you, I don't think I have to worry about charges for it. Which is probably a very good thing since you aren't a real lawyer.

[jlyman]

I really don't know, Donna. Your ways are mysterious to me.

I am so a real lawyer. I have a degree from Yale that says so, for the nine billionth time. Do I need to fax it over to our apartment to remind you?

[deputydeputy]

Because you were doing fine on your little impromptu lecture until you went on a tantgent about accountants and the GAO and... I don't even know what it was you were talking about. Something to do with Gold Dubloons?

You have a law degree. It is not the same as practicing law or being a lawyer. Did you even ever take the bar?

[jlyman]

Piracy in the modern age, and don't give me that look. It was a well thought out metaphor.

The thing about taking the bar was that I had a job lined up with Tanner's campaign before I actually got around to it. I could pass the bar. I just don't need to, because, I have a job and it doesn't require certification. Just genius wit.

Fangirls attack?

Josh, only you would get accosted by fangirls in a lineup to see Neil Gaiman. Of course, now that I think about it - a line full of 'geeks', and your fanclub? Looks like they go hand in hand.

All that being said, it was quite the crowd. I got a book signed for Gwen.

[jlyman]

Fangirls don't attack, they slobber. You should really get some fangirls of your own, then you'll see what I'm talking about. In any case, I didn't know there was overlap between this author and my poli sci coeds, otherwise I wouldn't have gone.

[goldfishboy]

I have a hard enough time keeping regular people around - I think I'd only disappoint a group of fangirls.

As for the overlap - looks like you're as 'geeky' as Gaiman.

[jlyman]

I disappoint mine on a regular basis, it doesn't really seem to matter.

Political science is a pretty dweeby subject, Danny.

I love Neil Gaiman!

[jlyman]

I don't think I've ever heard of him before.
