Nora, that was frelling hysterical! I bookmarked that web site - will have to peruse more of it when I can.
Let me guess. We're in a hurry.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And I never know what "average" really means. I mean, I guess I am just about "average" weight and height for an American woman (according to the CDC [link]) but that also means that I weigh too much for my height.
Yeah, exactly. I think I'm demographically average as far as my dress size, but somehow I don't think that's what people mean. OK, that link tells me I'm almost exactly the size of the average US man. Interesting.

I think that link was for the BMI, which is pretty wack.
I woke up and felt icky, which then upgraded to OMG I Want To Die, and now after coffee is back to just icky. Anytime someone has looked at me too long this morning, I've wanted to snap, "WHAT?"

Possibly it's just me, but someone just sent me a request by including an e-mail I wrote from last summer, only altering the text for their own ends without bothering to mention that they'd done so.
Sure, it's a small thing, but I'm kind of hugely pissed. Problem is, I don't know how to reply with "please don't alter the text of my e-mails" without sounding like a bitch.

Wait. They basically tried to make it seem like you had sent them an email you hadn't? That's bullshit.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Wow, it's like fandom, in a way. Is anyone asking you for money to buy an iPod and some glitter pens?

Kind of, yeah. It's a new request, and there's absolutely no reason why they needed to include an old e-mail of mine, especially as they've made it look like I didn't fulfill the original request. Now I'm getting all paranoid about what else people might be doing to my e-mails.
Wow, it's like fandom, in a way.

I think bitchiness is entirely authorized. You could simply reply by saying "I don't remember writing that, in fact my sent email is different. What happened?"
