I thought it was cute...she kind of kept little-girl hair a bit too long. But it makes sense...way more likely geek-girl faux pas than the crooked glasses with tape on them so beloved by tv writers, still.

I'm interested to hear that caffeine might actually not be that much of a diuretic. I'm hopelessly thirsty but don't want water, and am trying to work out what to drink next.

Of course, I could have had a gallon of water by now, but I had to stop and talk to a co-worker about krav. Trumps dying of thirst.

eta, because of the time between starting and finishing the post:

Good news, Theo!

Aimée, I wouldn't have left, because I was there first. If she's not going to be embarassed, I'd be all about standing my ground. The giggle damage is done once it's apparent what she's doing, anyway.

GA: I've had roommates like her. I couldn't really decide if she was the one type who a) find themselves in an awkward situation (ie barged into the bathroom to find it occupied) and just muscle through it as if nothing because, well, horse, barn and a fair dose of if-I-can't-see-the-monster-itis denial or the other type who b) just doesn't give a shit, even about other people's boundaries. If they play up the insecurities, I might go more with type A. Otherwise, well, I HATED that roommate and was just as catty as M&I over really stupid shit. It was an attempt to shame the unshamable and make them go away, or something.

As for the stick up for me stuff, eh. It rubs the wrong way to me, regardless. If she'd just said to George, gee your friends can be mean & juvenile, it would have been less....juvenile. Which they are. Which is kinda the MO, but anyway. Who wants to watch a show about perfectly sane, balanced, mature people anyway?!

I don't think it mattered whether george believed she had washed her hands or not. It was more about your friends are treating me badly, and they wouldn't do that if you didn't tolerate it, so stop it. It would not have been unreasonable to say Hey, lay off, it was early! It was kind of shitty of him to ask her in the hospital when she was with a patient.

As for the high school fat girl idea, it's stupid, but if you're going to do it, don't pick a gorgeous woman. cause no one will get the metaphor

Nathan is going to take a picture of my new hairdo when he gets in. Until then, I have work to do, but gah, am tired.

Have to run by LOST and Alias to pass out invitations. Don't wanna. Just wanna go straight home and sleep. But that's out as well, as i have to get a bit of writing in.

This week blows.

But they would do it if he didn't tolerate it. They mightn't do it to his face. But, again, I don't remember what they did that she saw and therefore wanted stopped.

GA: Meredeth needs to be the nicest person on the earth to whomever George dates. Seriously. She's still got a lot of making up to do and being catty with Izzy is pretty obnoxious of her.

on Everwood (does anybody else watch?): Shitty for Bright to cheat, shitty and completly his fault. But the whole "I don't know why" thing is absurd. He cheated because he's horny as hell and dating a girl who doesn't want to have sex. That doesn't mean he should get a freebie or that she should put out, but come ON. It's like the elephant in the room with the ENDLESS "but why, Bright, WHY?!!?!?"

GA: I feel like the peeing scene was just too contrived. It pissed me off (heh) because I like Callie and have been rooting for her and now she just seems like a whacko. I feel like they could have gotten the point of how she feels in competition with the other girls and how she wants George to stick up for her against them without making her out to be a freak. I mean, they could have had them all be in a bathroom at work, a public bathroom with stalls, and Mere and Izzy could have been gossiping at the sinks and Callie could have walked out and left without washing her hands.

So, yes, I feel bad for her and think it was a whacko thing to do! But it felt like a whacko thing that nobody really would do that the writer just put in because she thought it would be funny.

I totally covet the panties she was wearing, though.

When was Mere catty to Callie? I'm not asking because I don't believe it happened--just because I can't visualise the event.

Those panties rank with the panties that Mahandra wore after the sex scene with Aaron.
