You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

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

I vote black, Tom, but counteract it with something like this: [link]

matching shirts for me and mac.

Seriously. No.

I like the shinier jacket. Indifferent on the Ann Taylor skirts. Etc.

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

I vote yes on the matchy shirts. The one or two times I was allowed to match my mother at his age I loved it. If he'll do it, why not?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

That's hilarious. My mother was always trying to get us to match, and I refused. I guess I was older than mac, though.

I'm down on matchy. Especially matchy worn at the same time. Complimentary, sure. Matchy. No.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

One of my friends had her dissertation defense yesterday, and her husband brought their baby son in to say congratulations afterward, and the husband and baby were wearing matching outfits. It was kind of adorable.

My father and his brother and their respectives wives took a group photo at Sears or somewhere in matching shirts (although I think they were matchy by gender, not couple), and that's all I can think of now. The picture is hilarious, but ridiculous.

Mine was very much the little girl's version of the dress, but it was a dramatic fabric that I remember the most, and a distinctive cut.

The bit where they matched me to my sister--now that was abusive.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all !

I am being loved on by a cat. She has draped herself over my arm.
