Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I just realized I have almost three weeks of accrued vacation. Maybe I'll take a random week this summer. Or maybe just more long weekend. Hmmm!

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

Somewhere around age 7 I had an elasticated/smocked top that could be worn as a tube top or with v-like strings around the necks. Got teased mercilessly for it by the guys next door, and promptly abandoned strapless until thirty years had past.

It was always very easy to make me feel bad for getting attention because of my clothes--I approached that on two levels--by shutting out people's reactions to me as well as cutting some things out of my wardrobe.

Jilli, did you see the most recent chemicalromance post about The Love Cats? I honestly don't know how they think a long hiatus is going to work if Frank's bored after three weeks.

I DID!! Mind you, if I had tried to predict which member of MCR would decide to join a Cure tribute band, I wouldn't have guessed it would be Frankie. Adorable little crazy person.

Also, this leads me to picture Jamia turning to him and saying "I love you. You are driving me crazy. FIND A HOBBY". And then I start giggling.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

These are awfully cute.

Ha, I know! I figured him as the first one to be all "BORED NOW", but this is unexpectedly adorable.

They're having the "We're different in LA. We're used to celebrities. They're just like normal people. Here are the ones we've met:" conversation in the cube next to me.

Way to go to belie your point, bucko.

He can start by walking all their fat little dogs!

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Thanks for clarifying ita, and sorry I got all huffy. I had a weirdly irrational reaction to being accused of baby-injury even though it was only metaphorical. I think I'm a bit of a freak today.

I just got back from a quick grocery run (just for dairy, other basics, and the makings for an Amatriciana sauce) and I am SOOO TIRED. eek! What if I am coming down with something? How will I survive the weekend?

I love how wee kids don't give a shit about what people think of their clothes. Their own opinion is the only one that matters in the world. At what age do we lose that?

I love how their clothing choices are often guided as much by some imaginary component as anything else. Not just the obvious like the fairy wings and the bunny ears, but things like wearing red pants because Mickey Mouse wears them, or overalls to be like Uniqua, etc.
