Fear my Searching powers!

I've been trying to figure out when to do an annoncement in Press. I can't figure out when, exactly, the 1st trimester ends. I'm way over-thinking it, I'm sure.

I think I went with it starting at 13 weeks. Not that that helps, when you'll find start dates for the second trimester as late as 15 weeks on some sites. (I also went with 28 weeks for the start of the third. Or maybe 27. One of those.)

I guess I should say you provided the oppportunity for me to spill my own beans, Nonian.

So the trimesters aren't well-defined, it's not just me being obtuse. Good to know.

Ugh. We're having a thunderstorm, which I don't mind, but it's freaking teh dog out. Poor thing's all trembly and scared.

-t, I don't think I didn't know. Maybe I've just assumed everyone is pregnant.

Do we need to start with the "not its" again?

Not it.

Also, I want a thunderstorm.

Not it.

Not it.

Not it.

Pamela Anderson is Canadian. Which just makes me giggle, since she is such the ultimate California bleach blonde.

I got the apartment, if I can just get the lease signed ahead of my competitors.

Yay!! You can do it, even if you have to break the other competitors' hands. I mean, you have to do what you have to do. I have faith in you.

If I recognize someone else's sin, it shouldn't drive me to think how bad that person is, but instead, that I am no better.

See, this is why I could never be a religious person. Because sometimes I honestly do think I'm better than the other person. And yes, I judge them internally, and I'll usually do my best not to make them feel like a lesser person, but yeah. I do judge, and I don't see how I could make myself stop doing that. It's not like I pat myself on the back about it or anything. I just mean, the second I see someone kick a small animal, I'm all, that person is scum, and the implied thing is that I'm better, mostly because I do not think of myself as scum. Because I will then check and see that the animal is okay.

Of course, this just goes along with my feeling that I am actually a horrible person. I really really hate living near so many homeless people because I always say no about giving them something, and then I feel guilty about it. I wish them the best of luck, but I am certainly not going out of my way to make the world a better place, or anything. So I don't know.

ETA: Not it.

Well, at least it's fun news. I think I used 13 weeks in my mind for end of the 1st trimester. HOwever, the 2nd trimester is a fun place to be, so I'm in no hurry to leave.
