Lee, when you get home, run a tepid bath and throw 5 or 6 bags of plain black tea into the tub. The tannins in the tea will help with the sunburn.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Thanks for the suggestions.
I'm pretty well adviled up, but I will have to steal some black tea from here, and stop at Walgreen's on my way home so I can try the other stuff.

What is even happening?
Okay, time to take my perkygoth self out to nap in the car.
Bats and glitter! Bats and glitter!
This post makes me laugh and laugh and laugh.It made me scroll back up, because I was thinking, "I could have sworn this was ita's post, not Jilli's."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The funniest thing about being perkygoth for a day is that people are staring at my knees. I've worn most of this outfit together before (white peasant blouse with black trim, black knee-length skirt with crinolines, waist cincher, granny boots), but the piece de resistance...stripey tights. I could be topless and I'm not sure people would notice.
Unfortunately I must take this amusement to polish a document in which someone added changes in red and struck out and reddened replaced text...but not by using Track Changes. They formatted manually each time.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

OMG, I had a class (where we were creating one large document among the 30 of us) with people who couldn't figure out Track Changes. That shit is bananas.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Yeah, my poor officemate was Word-illiterate and had no clue what that red stuff was.

It's one thing not to "get" it, a whole nother thing to try to replicate it with font formatting. @@

Imagine my confusion as I click on "Accept All Changes" three times before daring to believe this whole thing has to be manual...

Oh, man, I use Track Changes all the time now. It's freaky shit.
