Wow, I'm tired now. Tired and satisfied, because I've been cleaning the house. Not just the dishes and stuff - I'm talking about the Martha Stewart/Holy Grail/This Old House kind of thing. My Mom arrives for a visit tomorrow night, so my normal procrastinating self has been shoved aside by this crazed person who wants her house to be "perfect" by the time Mom gets here.

It's good to have company every once in a while. Makes you actually get stuff done.

Speaking of Mom, she and my Favorite Sister (okay, she's my only sister) had a polite freak-out last weekend when I was telling them about visiting my friends in Florida. Seems they haven't gotten the memo that not everyone who is on the Internet is a rapist/murderer/child molester. So when they asked me where I had met these people and I my answer was "online," their eyes bugged out and later I was subjected to a mild interrogation by the Moms.

So, my first question of y'all tonight: what do YOU say when people ask you where you met your online friends?

I have another question for all of you SV fans, this one about Lana. I was thinking about all of the SV peers of Clark, and what lessons Clark learns from each of them. Pete teaches him about friendship and trust, and helps him scooby things. Chloe helps him with the scoobying and helps him develop his journalistic interest. Lex is teaching him all kinds of new things, from Greek mythology to how to deal with the girl of your dreams to corporate espionage and of course, trust and mistrust.

And Lana? Really, all I could come up with was guilt over smooshing her parents. But I thought that might be because of my intense dislike of Lana, so now I'm turning the question to all of you...what does Lana have to offer?
