Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Ugh. I had a nice lunch with a summer associate today and just found out that for the entire lunch, I thought he was the other African law student with the unpronounceable name, which I apparently called him at least three or four times. Why did no one tell me?! I feel like an idiot.

WHEN WILL THE CAPRI PHASE END?

Wrod. I couldn't find one skirt last year and bought a pair of capris just so I'd have something lightweight to wear. I was so thrilled to see skirts back in fashion. Too bad I'm broke.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Because telling them would make everyone have to acknowledge the whole idiot thing. And then there might be apologies and squirming and stuff. This way, you just send him an apologetic email, and your faces can pretend it never happened.

They took the easy way out. I do too, a lot.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

In my normal body, I am not curvy. In my pregger body, I am very curvy indeed, especially in the belly area. In my nursing body, I have a whole lot more curve than usual. It's so weird that my normal body is just a memory at this point.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Haven't measured myself lately, but at last check I had either an 8 inch(upper hips) or 7 inch(lower hips) differential. There's a reason low-rise pants will not work for me.

Just got back from my twice-yearly haircut(ok, more of a trim/evening-out the ends) and my hair is full of product and sproingy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Tonight I have learned an important lesson, I think. I went to get ice cream, couldn't figure out what I wanted, figured it out, they didn't have it, picked something else, and .... eh. I should have gotten another huenormous FlaVorIce. Colder, cheaper, yummer.

So what's this fla vor ice thing?

Me no comprende. Why would your hip ratio make them a no-no?

Sent the email. Gah. I hope I do not become "that racist associate."
