It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

What is even happening?

It's on the X chromosome, which is consistent with longstanding anecdotal evidence that baldness in men is more correlated with baldness in their maternal grandfathers rather than with baldness in their own fathers.
That's anecdotal? Huh.
Heh. They taught us in school it was a sex linked thing. I haven't been inside of a school as a student in 15 years, and I think this lesson was more like 25 years old. I always knew they made shit up.

I always knew they made shit up.

Dude, right? I'm still a little bitter over the way interpretations of poetry get oversimplified.

Um, which may seem like a strange leap. But I spent years thinking The Road Not Taken was all about "Yay! Road less traveled by!" and being bugged by it, not to mention that "Nothing Like the Sun" sonnet, which Jen tells me is totally not saying what my grade school teachers told me.

Right. So now I'm singing Avenue Q filk in my head, awaiting a phone call from Brazil, and giving my computer a cocktail. But at least I'm no longer suffering from crippling abdominal cramps.

That was quick. Well done, shrift! Also, it's funny how recent experience influences perception, isn't it? I read "giving my computer a cocktail" and thought, okay, so it's an AIDS metaphor? The computer has a very dangerous virus?

That aside, I'll bite. What do you mean, you're giving your computer a cocktail?
