Maybe if you don't put it on, but just wrap it around your shoulders, it's less weird.
This is so nice. Having everyone together for my birthday. Of course, you could smash in all my toes with a hammer and it will still be the bestest Buffy Birthday Bash in a big long while.

My boss has a hoodie sitting on the couch and he's not here. Would it be totally wierd to put it on?
wrap it around your shoulders. You're not wearing it, but it will provide some warmth.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
I took DH's name. Legally I'm Susan MaidenName MarriedName, though AFAIC my original middle name, Eunice (for my grandmother, whose birthday I share) is still there. Sometimes I wish I'd kept my maiden name, but at the time I was only beginning to step out of my conservative religious phase, and it would've felt like too big of a statement. Also, my maiden name was Stone, and I was sick of being called Sharon. Seriously. It happened ALL THE TIME.
But the W. name feels like mine now, eight years on. Not that I've stopped being a Stone or having strong ties to my family and heritage, just that Susan W. is me.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I agree on the shoulders.
Though I do not know why.
Odd convention, isn't it?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Odd convention, isn't it?
If you don't actually put it on, the cooties can't transfer?

Maybe it's the lack of armpit contact.

Armpits really are nast.
I think boys should shave them too.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
How are you defining diminutive? As someone whose name is all diminutive and no name, I'm curious. Because I don't see why
Of or being a suffix that indicates smallness or, by semantic extension, qualities such as youth, familiarity, affection, or contempt
applies more to Stephie than Teppy (in the semantic extension sense, and certainly can be used in search of the same qualities). In my head it's derived more from the spelling than the sound, but similar enough.
I don't see any reason why one wouldn't be great and the other anathema. I just don't get the not-diminutive argument.

MMA Class Report (I know you're all just DYING to hear it)
Last night was the end of my first six weeks and now that I'm going on vacation there will be no hitting and kicking for thirteen days. I have SO drunk the kool-ade here, it is scary how bummed I am about that.
My forearms are getting all Popeye shaped. Hee. My muscle groups take turns hurting. Today its abs! Last night we did high round kicks and my legs can totally take that now -- not hurting. Oooh! And I got to hit with my instructor which is AWESOME because, apparently, the rest of the time I hold back a little. So. Much. Fun.
I know, I know... I'm as boring as people who talk constantly about weightwatchers points. But I could probably kick most of their asses...

not your mom's socks.
sparky1 - I can if you want, but I can also get a rec for a dermatologist down your way. without telling the Committee On Excessive Worry (aka: mom1 and mom2) why of course. One member of said committee has had plenty of experience, given the fact that they used radiation to treat acne when she was a teenager. dumbest thing ever.
