In my defense, it was a MASSIVE crush. Formative even. His character wielded two swords, sheathed in scabbards on his back. And we went on to have a lovely chat.
Xander: How? What? How? Giles: Three excellent questions.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think it can also depend on the distance from the crushtime. Not just time-time, but emotional/maturity time. And also the target. For me, at least.

What is even happening?
Huh. Flea and I have been wearing exactly the same jeans for the last 20 years.
I'm thinking 20 years ago, flea may still have been in Tuff Skins.

Also, I would KILL to be a size 14 again. IJS. And it makes me so sad -- and angry -- that 14 is considered (by society in general) to be "fat." Pfft. WhatEV.
I think I read somewhere that Marilyn Monroe was a 12. Not that I'm anywhere close to either 12 or 14, but surely that close to Marilyn can't be fat.
I started a new filing system with all pink file folders and matching hanging files, highlighters, etc.
I feel your pain, Allyson. I started with purple a couple of months ago. I was going to get organized, and to start having a visible desk. The whole situation is much worse, and only about 1/3 of the files are purple. Sigh.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Marilyn's 12 was in the 1950s. It's closer to an 8 today.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
On the Marilyn Monroe sizing: [link]
She would probably fluctuate between a six and an eight today; can't go any lower with that bust.

An 8 is still considered large in modeling and movies. Look at the women on Desperate Housewives. How many of them are an 8? I'd be surprised if any of them were larger than a 4.

Darn. It sounded good, but as a librarian, I should have known to check.
Again, I say sigh.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Just looking at Marilyn, you can see she's bigger than most actresses today and still smaller than most women.

OK, polls have been closed for 20 minutes (City and Montgomery County got an hour extensions because of the fuckups- Can you say DEBACLE?) I want some early reports, damnit. I really really really want Schaefer to go down. This is hilarious, in that the past 2 presidential elections? I went to bed ignoring the results, figuring morning was soon enough.
