No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, is he tucking or what?

So ... I'm short. With long legs. I can't have a long torso, either relative to my height, or absolutely. Does that make me automatically shortwaisted?

Short with long legs = short torso relative to height = shortwaisted. Yeah?

I mean, I know they "can"... I'm honestly not trying to make it look like I have a degree, I just want to show that I continued my education past high school.

Aimee, I think what you're doing is fair. You went to those schools, you're not claiming a degree, no problem. ita, you don't list your degree?

Heh. Had I known for certain it was that sort of crowd tonight, I'd have said "intervocalically" rather than "between vowels."

It's always that sort of crowd here.

So I'm not sure if I'm supposed to work today. I guess I should call...

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

Short with long legs = short torso relative to height = shortwaisted. Yeah?

But, see, you didn't include the whole torso. So if you're short with long legs but a really low rise, it mightn't meet your shortwaisted criteria.

ita, you don't list your degree?

I do, which contributed to my surprise at the idea that I didn't have one.

That's just weird on the part of the other person, then.

I'm freaked out trying to picture the person who is regularly proportioned, except for their rise.

I would say that short-waisted or long-waistedness depends on the distance from natural waist to stermun, relative to height.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I have sort of a long rise. Or perhaps I am short waisted with short legs.

Hmmm

Does anyone know where to get a video clip Brian Kinney and Justin at Justin's prom from Queer as Folk Season one. Or any idea how one can capture it off a DVD, or something. I am desperate!

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

"woulddenshoo" drove her batshit crazy.

Drives me batshit, as well. Also see: "I wantchoo to wanme"

It must be Jamaican Month, because my replacement (at the job that it is my last day of today. Woot!) is from Kingston. Unfortunately, she's also amazingly soft-spoken, so I don't hear the wickedcool accent half the time.

I call myself shortwaisted, and I have a short rise. There's maybe an inch and a half between my hips and my waist.

Hi Hil! How was your trip?

It was great. Lots of interesting stuff in Israel, lots of really cool historical things, I was with a really great group, and lots of interesting discussions about Israel and America and Jewish identity and politics and lots of other stuff. I've got a whole bunch of stuff I wrote about the trip that I'm going to try to type up and get online sometime today.

What is even happening?

Is short-waisted high waisted, or low waisted? I'm so confused.

ION, Brooke Shields wrote an op-ed for the NYT on Tom Cruise's 'ridiculous rant'. She suspects he has never suffered from post-partum despression. What is she, some kind of Jedi? [link]
