The fact that I was able to get a boyfriend is often shocking to me.
Well, you do have a brother.
It's true. He increased my girlfriendability by at least 37%.
Never, and I mean not even ONCE IN MY LIFE, have I been able to resist yelling "Freeeeeebirrrrrd!" when a band is tuning up or even when a random guitar player is busking.
Thus, P-C's mother would say you are unfit to wed her son.
That, and you being a white she-devil and all.
I'm utterly wrong for P-C on so many levels. I'm like the poster girl on the giant poster that says "P-C: Do NOT Marry This Woman Or Anyone Like Her!"

Though I *do,* as amych pointed out, have a brother. So there's that.

MONTHS ago (maybe almost a year ago), I read something that has stuck in my head, in regards to my research. I always thought it was kind of interesting, but not applicable to my project. Now I think it's applicable and kind of need it. But, did I mark it? No. There's a good possibility that I tossed that article out, because I didn't think it applied.

Time for a break. I'll go play with preschoolers for a couple hours to clear my head.

And in news I really shouldn't have found out about, one of the Big Name Japanese Gothic Lolita clothing companies is going to be opening a store in SF this autumn. Oh, as usual, dear.

Baroo? Clearly, you need to come down here and shop, what with our 3 H&Ms and other Fun Stuff Not Located in Seattle.
Empress, have you ever had asthma? Even as a kid? I had bad asthma when I was a baby, but I adjusted. When I moved out to Utah and up in elevation a couple of thousands feet, though, the asthma came back. With the recent move and you now living in a much colder situation, that may be aggrivating your lungs.

I know! Well, we're (finally) getting H&M stores this spring. But we won't have a Baby the Stars Shine Bright store! And while I find most BtSSB designs far too twee and death-by-ruffles little girly, I just remembered they're the company that makes the Alice and the Pirates line. [link]
GAH!!!
I really can't chuck out my whole wardrobe in favor of a total Gothic Lolita look, can I.
Supposedly they're a strangulation hazard. How this works when the strings are INSIDE A JACKET I'm not sure, but apparently now you're supposed to get your own string and sew each mitten to the jacket individually. What. Ev.
I got little clippy bungie cords. Now I just have to get Mal to tolerate having mittens on.
Empress, have you ever had asthma?
I've not. I've had pneumonia before, though. Like, lots as a kid.

My method is to wait until we're outside to put them on. (I also recommend having a baby young enough that he can't argue with you or pull off his own mittens.)
