Dude, Aims! Me too!
I have no idea why Steve Irwin's death is making me want to curl up and suck my thumb, but it totally is.
I like the way the walls go out. Gives you an open feeling. Firefly is a good design. People don't appreciate the substance of things. Objects in space. People miss out on what's solid.

I feel awful for his family. He seemed like he had all this enthusiasm, and would have been a great dad for his kids. And he really cared about stuff.
Weird.

I guess because he was an icon. Someone close to our age who seemed to be living an exciting life that we could escape into occasionally. We always knew there were dangers in what he did, but somehow we always expected him to be the one to beat the odds. His poor family, I feel so sorry for the wife and kids.

Our wings are not tired
That sucks! Steve Irwin dead! Totally sucks!
You didn’t happen to be at Fred P. Otts a year? Two? Ago when ND was in town?
I'm pretty sure he was there. Was that the night we were talking about the Hello Kitty vibrators?

move out and draw fire
My top two news feed headlines are Steve Irwin and Andre Agassi. I know Agassi's not dead, but he's another person who is about my age and whose career is over.
At least Irwin being killed in the line of duty was somewhat expected and doesn't really count as irony.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks for the sentiments, guys.
Agassi's career lasted a hell of a long time. He's past his expiration date, and doing quite well, considering. He'll be okay.
Steve Irwin is startling. I have no affection for the guy, but his death-defying was on the scale which made me think he could get away with it forever. Not running into blazing buildings or trick jumping over twenty motorcycles.
eta: Having read articles it seems he died under unlikely circumstances--ironic enough for Alanis, I think.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
We began pre-potty training today. Bought a potty and Pull-Ups. I set up the potty and let Em play with it. She can take it anywhere in the house she wants and when she sits on it, she gets lavishly praised. I've also started taking her into the bathroom and having her sit bare bottomed on her potty while I go and telling her everything I do.
For someone who really has no squicks and has no problem being TMI with pretty much anyone, I found this oddly disconcerting.
