Quick, Sandi, Tell a Skydiving Joke!

While I appreciate Sandi's attempt on National Airborne Day, the holiday is meant to celebrate the United States Airborne Forces. Not the people who just happen to be in mid-air...approaching the ground quickly.

Today is also National Tell a Joke Day, and this is the day. I can feel it. Jake is finally going to master the art. And even if he doesn't, could everyone just laugh anyway? We need to encourage him even when he fails.

Finally, I will be on vacation for the next couple weeks and won't be posting until the end of the month. Try not to let the cobwebs pile up too much around here while I'm gone, okay?

Fanfic Update!

• Crystal Claw, by Sheila Wisz Ellayn (parts 1 - 4): "Everything seemed distant, eerie and somewhat out of place at Lawndale that night." (Part 2) (Part 3) (Part 4)

Now She's President of the "Splat" Club

Sandi's taking Ride the Wind Day a bit too literally, and I bet right now she's wishing she hadn't let Quinn pack her parachute. If she's lucky, she might wind up like Roger and find a cow to break her fall. I'm really hoping this holiday is about skydiving, anyway, because if it has anything to do with Jane's other brother then I want nothing to do with it.

Lawndale Online is BACK!!! And a new Daria website is open for business: Dariaverse.com! Low esteem for everyone! Start sending in your stories, essays, and everything! DariaWiki's newest page describes a very bad girl: Dawn Wilkins. The entry needs a physical description (she's not the Walkman-wearing Dawn), but is great.

Legendeld is ranting because of non-hurricane Fay. He asks a good question about why Tom went for Jane first instead of Daria. He thought artists were easy, maybe?
