I was just thinking that the poor girl wears a cowgirl outfit ONCE to a party six years ago,

Okay, that is HILARIOUS if true.

I can't get over the Robert Olen Butler letter. The comments are PRICELESS!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Sophia = Aimee and Aimee = Sophia. Cause that's what I played, too!!

Wow! I meet a surprising number of ex-French Horn/Mellophone players, considering there were only 2 of us in my entire marching band, and scads and scads of trumpets, flutes, etc.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Hivemind help--we are going to buy a new bed for our new house. An actual grown-up bed! We are moving up to a queen size and need it to be A. a platform bed , B. stylin', and C. cheap. Any suggestions of stores in SoCal or brands to look at?

Cheap = Ikea or Cheap = Other then Ikea?

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

What does "platform style" mean? Without a boxspring?
