My badge would read:

I'm not a crappy parent, My kid's not bad, he's autistic, Beware! Liberal, Secular, Socialist, Yeah, my boobs are HUGE and all mine!

not African American;

Heh. But wouldn't they then start with the "Are you Korean?" shit again, ita?

I'm watching SYTYCD, and remembering why I get annoyed at the audition shows again. Ay. Thank goodness for TiVo, so I can fast forward through teh annoying bits, and just watch teh good people.

Trying to ice a rib is difficult. End up getting my whole torso cold. Feeling a bit better, though.

Hil, that reminds me, have you been here: [link]

For something that people say is so rare, I've got three people on my LJ flist with it. (Including you.)

Yep, I have seen that site, Plei. Thanks.

I think that the hypermobility type of EDS is more common than the other types. (My doctor's not sure whether I have classical type or hypermobility type -- I've got some symptoms of classical type, but I'm a few symptoms short of meeting the official criteria. There are some genetic tests, but they're expensive and my doctor doesn't really see the point, since there would be no difference in treatment if they gave it one name or the other.)

We should all wear little sashes like Girl Scouts and put on all the buttons that we don't want to have to explain to people: Divorced & Remarried, Shared Custody in East Bay, Author, Dead Mom, A's Fan.

Love this idea... but... isn't that called baggage? ;)

For me, I wouldn't want to have a sash. I actually like the process of getting to know another person, having all those points revealed in their own time.

Love this even more. Very true.

Dead sexy, but you wouldn't know it because you won't look past the glasses.

but...but... I like glasses. They usually make folks MORE dead sexy... but that's me. I'm a freak I guess.

My sash? Oy. Ya, I think it would also be in the Toga category. Maybe it could be simplified to: Complex.

Should mine say, May Become A Werewolf At The Next Full Moon?

No! No, that's my badge!

eyes half-healed bite nervously.

Hmmm. In the Brownies the only badge I ever had on my sash was the Hostess badge, showing a cup of tea, which one earned by making a cup of tea and some fairy cakes. But I quite like the idea of this selection of badges thing. Hmmm. Off the top of my head I'm thinking: Geeky; Bi; Bookish; Word Whore; Agnostic; Surprisingly Shy; Werewolf; Militant About Apostrophes; Livin' La Vida Low Carb

So, is there any reason to go with Tylenol over Ibuprofen for the soreness from the tetanus shot?

Post-Toasties?

Should mine say, May Become A Werewolf At The Next Full Moon?

No! No, that's my badge!

So that's where you've been! How have you been, otherwise?
