I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

Leaving for the beach in 45 mins. Have good weeks. I really hope I can sleep on the train.

The backyard kittens have knocked the can of lighter fluid off the grilling table and are playing with it and its plastic bag. Natural selection may occur.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Arg. What are the differences, if any, between cropped pants, ankle pants, and capris?

How deep do you expect the flood waters to rise?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

In practice, probably no difference, but I'd think that ankle pants would be the longest of the three. Something that was, say a boot-cut pant, but to mid-calf, I'd call cropped pants instead of capris, but god only knows what the Fashion People actually do....

Heh.

I wish they just gave the inseam length, instead of using a lot of confusing and pointless terminology, all of which translates in my mind as "Too Damn Short."

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

I think it's more than inseam length -- capris are supposed to hit you a certain place. Sure, some people go against that, but I think that's the premise. There's possibly also a tapering difference.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Why am I awake, and more imoprtantly, why do the warning notes for the pills I need to take soon tell me not to lie down for a half hour after taking them?

Capris are the work of the Devil.

Not only do I object to capris because they cut off my short legs in an unflattering manner, but just because they are short pants (therefore whimsical and fun), designers think they can use the most awful patterned fabric to make them. I saw a pair in a store last week - they were pique cotton with blue and purple orchids done in an Pucci-esque manner. They were hideous. I wouldn't want them within five miles of my ass.

I just saw one of my university tutors at the Farmers Market...he totally remembered me.
