I thought maybe it was some code for someone who had undergone a sex change.
Oh, at first it was confusing. Just the idea of computers was like — whoa! I'm eleven hundred years old! I had trouble adjusting to the idea of Lutherans.

Mostly lurking...
So, um, I think I'll go to bed. Did I study for my final tomorrow? Nope. Why would I do a silly thing like that?
I did buy a swimsuit today, though. So freaking depressing. Three sizes larger than my last suit, which is kind of why I needed it, but still. I complain about this as I sit and eat a bowl of fully fat ice cream and had chicken quesadillas filled with cheese and chicken and guacamole and sour creamy goodness for dinner.
I also bought three pairs of shoes--sandals, I might add. The retail therapy, she is good. Now, did I really need three new pairs of sandals? Especially half-way through summer? No. But they sure are pretty!

Because there are 420 things different between men and women?

No, because the guy was adamant it was not sexual, but he would not share a bedroom with a male, and would only accept a female, and he read as nuts, so I figured the aliens told him which numbers to choose.

My dad just called. My mom's in the hospital again. It's probably nothing, but I'm still kind of worried.

Hil, I'm so sorry. Many good thoughts for your mom (and you and dad, too).

Hil, may it turn out to be only something that seemed scary, but not really.

Thanks, guys. She's been in the hospital several times with the same symptoms before, and usually it's been nothing. Except for the few times when it has been something. But this seems more like a "nothing" time, and they're just running a few more tests, to be sure.

I hope you're mom's ok, Hil.
Also, connie, I hope all works out well with the raise and the feeling good, and to turn the curse into a blessing, may you not live in interesting times.

Oooh, yes. I meant to say "Whoohoo" for connie! But very quietly, so the universe doesn't think we really believe it can be kind and benevolent and thus encourage it to more bad behavior to thumb its nose at it.
I don't care how old the Universe thinks it is, its not even twelve yet. At least then we'd be getting sex along with all the other things it sees fit to inflict us with.
