Theo, congrats on your new school new year! Go you! I'm very happy for you.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
We're rocking lunch buddies!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG you guys, those lunches sound so good!
Now she's at school (second day) and they are going to do a ceremony called "walking around the sun" where she carries a globe and walks around the circle once for each year of her life.
Huh. That sounds kind of interesting, but really only doable for the littles, right? I mean, twelve times around the circle would take all day! Or does Montesorri not go all the way up?
Theo, I found dollar stores to be excellent sources of notebooks when all I really needed was some paper to write on and not a $10 Notebook System.

We have tasty comestibles and shiny hair! We should be fighting crime.

Now I'm trying to decide on whether to buy two notebooks (one for each course) or a double-subject one, and how big (steno or standard) and whether it should be the perforated detachable paper. And of course, whether there should be a unicorn or a dragon on the cover.
Seriously, my whole academic performance could rest on these details!!!1! Or maybe I'm just obsessing over the details to allay my anxieties? Surely not.

Don't forget about college vs standard (? the wider one) ruling!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Congratulations on re-studenting, Theo!
And yay new job and going for change even when it scares you, sarameg!
And Sophia, paying off creditors is not boring. Being your own woman and the boss of your own money is a noble and excellent goal (this means you will be at the next F2F, right?).
And Happy Fourth Birthday, Casper!
I have a couple of hours of painfully dull data entry ahead of me; I'm saving the paperdol/SJR interview for then. It shall be a balm unto my brain (the paperdol half, anyway).

not your mom's socks.
I think I missed paperdol's interview - gah.
Theodosia - this is so exciting (::dragons!::) go you! I used to teach the web programming before I Was Moved, if ever I can be of assistance...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Montessori goes all the way up to over 20, though I don't know anyone who stayed that long.
Congratulations to a) Theo b) sarameg c) Sophia d) Casper e) all of the above and then some.

Sox, thanks to the good advice of people here, I downloaded the mp3 file of the show with paperdol's interview here. Her part starts around an hour after the beginning of the show.
paperdol, you sounded great! Intelligent and witty and they actually had a conversation with you about the book, the people aspect, and didn't just try to squeeze the whole "the internet wants your daughters" part of it all. Also, I just love your laughter. I was stopping the show at random spots, trying to find your part, when I "fell" on a part where you laughed, and I immediately knew it was you. Lovely.
