{{Cashmere}} I hope things get better soon.

I did not go to my 10 year HS reunion, because I really didn't want to spend the entire evening having conversations that went along the lines of "Jilli! I haven't seen you in forever. So ... you're still ... weird, huh?"

Pffftt. Corset-style piercings. Whatever. Seen 'em before, and it's not like they're permanent. Since they're surface piercings, you're only supposed to leave them in for something like a week at most. Good for photo shoots or fetish events where you want to look extra-hardcore.

Nice to know tht the corset piercings are temporary. They look like they could get caught on things.

This bit from an article in Slate caught my attention:

In an age when preposterously coiffed tycoons engage in serial matrimony with ever younger and more beautiful partners, Charles is doing his bit to atone for the sins of rich, middle-aged men everywhere. He's making an honest woman of his age-appropriate partner, a woman with whom he is well-matched in looks, habits, and hobbies, whom he has known and loved for more than 30 years. Charles' mistake was to get his weddings out of order: He married his first wife second and his trophy wife first.

I am so softcore.

He married his first wife second and his trophy wife first.

Heh.

Emily has been delivered to the airport. Now I must do my laundry. But, I don't wanna. t /whine

Actually, probably not a closed tag.

Okay, I'm preparing my notes for my conference next week and I'm not as unprepared as I thought I was. I know my shit, yo.

But I still need a confidence-boosting outfit. Maybe I'll take my hacking self to the mall after my dr. appt. this afternoon...

Anne, that's an interesting take on Prince Charles, huh?

Cashmere, I am sorry for your frustration at the funeral politics, and still so sorry for your loss.

Susan, Annabel is too cool for school! Great cake, by the way.

That cut my skeeve in half, Jilli. Thank you.

I mostly know this because some of the babygoths over on the Heirs to the Throne LJ gothy-goth community were all in a tizzy about *how kewl* it would be to have that sort of piercing, and show it off with halter tops and stuff!! OMG! The older, saner members of the community explained exactly what that sort of piercing entailed, and the kidlings settled down. Of course, reminding them that they needed parental permission for any piercing also made them a bit quiet ...

Friends don't friends dress like The Crow or lingerie.
