Yeah, I could do that, but I'm paralyzed with not caring very much.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

No super-sized boobies!

Cause, well, eww.

I'm going to go thwump my work computer. It's being a pain in the ass, and keeps dropping my connection. And I'm *trying* to get work done, damn it.

What is even happening?

If I've read your bra shopping talk correctly, you're a little late to refuse the super-sized boobies, Plei.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda

I've been thwumping my computer. It suddenly started channeling RIO and made everything all caps, no matter what I did with the caps lock key. It took a replacing the keyboard and rebooting to get back to the world of lowercase. Now I'm typing on an old keyboard that I don't like.

(((vw))) At least it's something easy to treat.

lots of people aren't as smart as the Buffistas and think it's brought on by uncleanliness, multiple sex partners, etc.

True, but you don't need to share the diagnosis with the whole world. "A rash" or "allergic reaction" will do for people like that.

And the Salon article was truly The Stupid. The writer used to be really good when she was BreakupGirl, but I think she lost half her brain somewhere along the line.

That was Breakup Girl??!!?!? Man, I wasn't paying attention when I read at work. Sheesh. I am very disappointed now!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I was horribly embarrassed about my bedbugs a few years ago, and today I read an article in the New Yorker that said the whole city is going through a rash (no pun intended) of them. Apparently bedbugs are this year's cockroach. So I feel better.

I am conflicted. If I leave work now, I'll get to the gym way too early to go to Pilates & Meditation, which I want to try out. But on the plus side, I wouldn't be at work anymore. Life is hard.

Lynn Harris? Yes. (Or, at least, I'm 90 percent sure.) I've seen her writing in Salon a few times lately.

I just didn't even look at the byline. I wasn't actually questioning your statement, more slapping myself upside the head. I loved Breakup Girl. I was a recurring letter writer on her site, back in the day!

That's awesome. (Well, it's awesome because, clearly, things turned out for the best for you. It wouldn't be awesome if you'd written her a lot of letters and were still in need of romatic advice.)

She once ran an answer I sent in to someone whose boyfriend had psycho parents. It really made my day.

Oh, I don't plan to. I'm actually kind of surprised I shared it here. I figured you guys would understand, though. You're all smart and stuff. But most people? They'll get the allergic reaction story. *Technically* that's what it is...an allergic reaction to the scabies...
