Hee. Well, it was just when she'd been recently selected, so it was pretty funny. Crazy in that there were CRAZY people there. Like the woman who told me she liked science fiction (hey, I'm into that!) and then admitted the only science fiction she read was the Star Trek books....and she's "80 behind". Um. Or the woman who told me "I'm a writer" and when I asked what kind said "I'm a poet. I hate saying that. I should just say I"m a librarian". WTF? Etc. Etc.

I did end up going out on a date again with one of them...who turned out to be ex military (not a problem)...who supported both the war, and Bush. Um. NSM. Plus she kept harping about her own weight and how she needed to lose it. Which, sure, but it's not like I hadn't met her before and already agreed to go out with her again. At which point, I obviously am at least vaguely OK with how she looks...

For the nephew, a book about hockey or wrestling?

A book about wrestling might work.

Well, at least you got some stories from it, right?

The worst-recent-blind-date I was on included a guy who pretty much insulted me, the way I live my life, and then expected me to change all that just because he told me to. Fun.

Good grief, that's ridiculous! I'm sorry. At least I just had fun silly stories!

I'm having very good luck meeting women who....live very far away. Sigh.

Always Anti-fascist!

My father liked making waffles till he figured it out, but once he got them perfect, they were not challenging anymore so no more waffles. Yeah, I've eaten my share of frozen ones...not the same. But pleasant enough.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Going outside was a stupid plan.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh, that's classy. What's wrong with people??

I really don't want to go outside, but I really have to do laundry. I think I can wait until early evening.

Hey, I got to whine and feel like the truth and justice and all good things are on my side. Several times, to several different people, including even my parents. I turned out pretty OK, all things considered.

I'm having very good luck meeting women who....live very far away. Sigh.

Ouch. In USA standards, that's probably really far away.

One of my former roommates ended up marrying a guy who lived extremely far away in Israeli terms. Something like 4-5 hours by car. They spoke on the phone a lot, got to meet half-distance a lot, and when things became serious, both moved to somewhere around the center (that's how she became my roommate), not only for that reason, but it played a major part. Still, in USA long-distance, I can't see it work. Sigh, indeed.
