Got to tell somebody this:

This afternoon, while coloring, my 6yo daughter suddenly burst out, "But Mommy, no one ever completely loses their innocence. Because nobody can ever know everything. So even Grandma-in-Heaven still has innocence."

I knew it followed on from a discussion with her father (I tell her not to wish her life away; he delves into the tragedy of lost innocence) and she's not clear on the difference between innocence and ignorance. But my mother was astonished.

Wow, that's kind of...wow.

Also, good to see you!

Nice. I feel like I have recaptured some innocence now.

That is one adorable kid, Herah.

libkitty, my headache specialist did ask if they came with weakness, and I wasn't sure at the time, since I do tend to bail on doing anything when I'm under the influence. But I'm trying to work through them more, to recapture control. So I'm noticing it more.

Speaking of working through, I finally felt passable this evening, so I went to krav. As soon as I walked into the classroom the instructor squinted at me and mouthed "Migraine?" So the list of krav people who can tell by looking is up to three.

And then my partner hit me in the head with a broomstick.

Why in god's name do I love what I love? Couldn't I love fingerpainting instead?

On the upside, two ebay dresses came in. One needs altering, and the other fits just fine. For now. I'm sure I'll change shape in the next week.

I am so ouchy. I think I need to sit in an Epsom bath, but I also need to clean up after dinner and brush my teeth, and wow, that sounds like a lot of work. Teaching people how to properly dip kind of sucks. I kept getting flung towards the floor, and strained awkward muscles as I tried to dip myself.

So silly.

Hi, peoples.

Vampire Slayer Act of 2006 Approved by California Assembly No really - that's the name of the act.

Is it wrong to think they should have called it the DNFTEC Act of 2006?

Alibelle, are you teaching dance classes? Details, please.

I'm not teaching, I assist the teacher. It's all part of the fun of getting dance classes for free. It's fun, but at the same time it does get frustrating to constantly start over with people who've never done it before. I sometimes feel like I'm picking up a lot of bad habits without a lot of new skills to offset them. But whatever. It's always fun to dance with the teacher, and that makes it worth it when you also have to dance with people who don't know what they're doing.

It does just underline the fact that I would make a crappy teacher, though. I do not have the patience that it takes to make a truly good teacher. I get annoyed when people don't hang off my every word and do exactly what I tell them. Fifteen times in a row.

Anyway, now it is time for sleepies. I really hope you're feeling better, Perkins, and that Tuesday is much kinder than Monday.

Happy Birthday, Plei!

Wow, I just read some huge series of posts on JournalFen about a long-running sockpuppet campaign in HP fandom.

Makes the kerfuffles I've been involved in sound like pretty small potatoes. Yikes.

People are crazy.

Goddamn. I'm watching a pilot land a jet at O'Hare without any nosegear. Un-fucking-believable.
