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

But I often joke that I wouldn't mind surgery to be a few inches shorter.

You don't just have educated white American male privilege, you have educated TALL white American male privilege.

God, my head is dizzy with work and notes and work and notes and phone numbers and more notes.

Getting much more used to handwriting, though.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

All the weddings are making me weepy. Especially little old people getting married.

I know! Between Phyl and Del (OMG I AM LONGTIME FANGIRL); and a pic from one friend's monster flickr set from Boston Pride of two dudes in a rickshaw-thing with a "54 years together, 4 years married" sign, and a hot young thing to pull the rickshaw; I Am A Sucker for the senior set today. I am a gooey mess, and not in the same way as Sue's cucumber. Also, Google made me all misty-eyed just by replacing the vertical border between search results and ads with a rainbow banner when I went to confirm the spellings of Phyl and Del.

I don't have this. And I had to perform multiple searches to even get ads, which was weird. (Note: test & caribbean queen are not so good, but central services gets you something)

amych - SFGate has a picture of a picture of young Phyl and Del, shown at their wedding.

The whole ever-expanding series of pictures at SFGate is pretty awesome.

t eta Also, from one of the related articles, about folks planning weddings:

But no toasters or gravy boats, please. Like many same-sex couples, Thomas and Dresser are asking guests to donate to groups fighting the November ballot measure.

Jill Sweringen, 46, and Barbara Schoeffel, 43, are planning an event in their backyard in Miraloma Park in September. They've already visited a stationery store to pick the invitations, which Sweringen described as an illuminating experience.

"He made us look through all these books to choose colors and fonts," she said, noting they chose amethyst and creme brulee. "Which is essentially purple and cream. ... You can kind of see why people might elope."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I looked at about 220 pictures of weddings this morning. I kept having to pause to sniffle.

I need to stop reading this [link] and go home, but the sniffle factor has me trapped here for now. Woe!

Not woe! Happy sniffles!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Oh man, now I'm crying. Yay.
