I made Pete read Twilight fan fic (DIRTY fan fic, as will be obvious soon.) And he did it, because he is the Best Husband Ever. He has his own very nerdy things that he does and I barely make fun of him for, so we are very well matched in Nerdyness. It’s really the best way to make a marriage work.
Peter: I noticed in that story that vampires produce venom in places other then their mouths.
10:40 AM Also when vampires swallow venom from other vampires it is awesome.
I had no idea.
10:47 AM me: yeah, that is not in the actual books
10:49 AM it was written before the last book
when they have sex while she is human Peter: How could she have gotten pregnant and NOT turned into a vamp if he has… OH me: I mean, what would be the evolutionary point of venom semen? 10:50 AM Peter:1 way to turn people without biting them?
10:52 AM me: nope
venom only in the mouth, and functions much like saliva, in that it only comes when thirsty
10:54 AM Peter: So they have venom when they eat. Even if they have no intention of turning someone? So anyone they bite can become a vamp if they don’t end up killing them. me: yes
that is how Carlisle turned- him being eaten was interrupted
10:55 AM the venom causes pain so the victim can’t run
10:56 AM Peter: I thought carlise turned him because he was going to die anyway. that carlisle stopped himself and he was mr self control and the like.
Thats was in the movie. me: no, carlisle was turned by a vamp in the 1600s
Edward and the rest were turned intentionally by Carlisle
10:57 AM I am loving you so much more because you are talking to me about this
10:58 AM Peter: hehe
ok so carlisle is mr self restraint. He did save Edward’s “life”.
10:59 AM me: and Esme’s
and Rosalie Peter: Carlisle was created when his vamp was interrupted. me: yes Peter: ok
but no venom semen me: no venom semen
ALSO:
Last night during Lost Season Premiere, I voiced a concern that I was a nerd because I recognized Charlie by his DS ring way before his face was revealed. I was soundly put in my place by the other 6 or so people in the room, who basically said, DUH. My nerdiness is Nothing in this crowd. I am the luckiest nerd girl in the world.

So those of you who were privileged to hear John Cougarstein’s Spbakt song will appreciate Pete Posing With A Supermarket Pie:
Those of you who were in the trenches of the Yankee Swap/No Yankee Swap debate will understand Pete’s point of view better when you see what we got at my family’s Swap. Please note that it inexplicably plays “La Vida Loca”.
Those of you who know I am not friking kidding when I say that my cousin lives in a McMansion and regularly spends over $100 on her tree each Christmas can glory in the following photo that depicts just one small section of her home (please note that I love my cousin, she is a lovely person and simply makes life choices that I do not):
Those of you who know me know that while I love my extended Eastern Mass. family I prefer to hang out with people like this:
When I ask her, while she is on her way to Webs, to see if there is any yarn there for Alice’s mitts, she not only does not judge, but she knows exactly what I am talking about.
I can’t stand checking my voice mail, so I signed up for Google Voice, which sends you an email when you get a message, and then translates it for you. My grandmother, born and raised in eastern MA, does not translate well, which is hilarious (to me). For example:
“part” = “pad”
“pictures” = “pitches”
“for” and “for her”, both = “far”
Now that I think about it, that really is what she sounds like, so I guess I can’t fault the machine.
