reasons that were considerably stranger. They weren't just ogling her: They were identifying with her.
The burden now becomes: prove that a boy/man identifying with a woman deserves the word "strange."
Am I supposed to be changing my clothes a lot? Is that the helpful thing to do?

t Waves at -t, with whom, too, I hadn't posted in quite a while How are you guys doing?
(At least this Monday is nice to me, with regards to "seeing" Buffistas I missed. But I'd rather share that niceness and not hog it to myself, if possible.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What tommy said.
I don't think it should be strange (and will never be so once I take over), but that doesn't make it not so.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Just to be a pedant, strictly speaking the word used was 'stranger', i.e. a comparison of the relative strangeness of identifying with Lara Croft as opposed to ogling her.

Compassionately intolerant
Due to the fact that the driveway behind our house is being torn up and replaced, the local roach population has been disturbed and is making appearances in our house. (Please note: we are not horrible unclean people. Roaches are an unavoidable fact of life in the south.)
I'm putting together an online auction to benefit my mother's chorus. A friend of hers got people to donate all sorts of amazing music-related items, and I am paranoid that I'm going to do something to mess it up.
I sooo feel your pain dear.
Fella is living in an apartment, around which, construction is creating new condos. Everytime anything gets shaken up, (which is pretty much daily) the roaches come marching in. He's been staying at my house 5 days a week because, otherwise, he keeps waking up in the night with the surging beasties on his body. Shudder.
I'm also worried about messing up the massive reunion I'm organizing for June. Not sure why, but the paranoia is strong.
bugbegone and confidence ~ma headed your way!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
t waves at Nilly We're doing pretty well, thanks. Still settling, but I have a deadline for having the house in shape for visitors, which should help motivate me to actually finish unpacking and so forth.
Speaking of which, I should do that rather than chat here.

This morning we had our first mouse sighting here at work. Eeek! (for the record, I didn't see it, but the person who did, screamed.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Jackhole Uncle Bob? Just found out he's selling my great-grandmother's house. It's been in our family for 106 years! Her father built that house. Damn that generation and their complete lack of sentimental value and family history. My grandfather wouldn't have sold it. Grrr.
