Yeah, that's pretty much why I avoid the back pages of my alumni mag.
Zoe: First rule of battle, little one. Don't ever let 'em know where you are. Mal: Whoo-hoo! I'm right here! I'm right here! You want some of me? Yeah, you do! Come on! Come on! Aaah! Whoo-hoo! Zoe: Of course, there are other schools of thought...

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

Oh and the dancer is dancing professionally again. I'm happy for her. Back then, it was very clear she really hurt over having that dream denied.

And the annoying, socially offputting guy got married!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
A lid for every pot!
Actually, I just heard a great lid-for-every-pot story from my mother, which gave me hope.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.
It's nothing compared to the Invisible Woman effect, but when I was a kid buying my first car with Dad in tow the dealers were all trying to sell me on powerful engines and speed and Girl Magnet potential when I was looking for low maintenance and good handling. One tried to pressure me to buy on the spot with the threat of another buyer, and lost any chance at making a sale. (The car I did end up buying was a pitiful jalopy, but the dealer had a low-key sales pitch and always treated me fair.)

Couldn't find out what happened to the roommate I moved out on is doing. I knew it'd be a bad match when she stated we that the smell of feta made her puke as I was putting feta in our fridge, she was a morning person who went to bed at 8, did not allow alcohol in the room and that smokers were evil. It was as if the dorm people had matched polar opposites, so I quickly got a single. She wasn't a bad person, we got along fine at work, just a horrid combo.

Aw. My parents called to check up on me. Verdict? Scotch is working tonight. Heh. Completely sober me was shaking all day and pretty useless.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It'll all be part of your past soon, sarameg. Never mind.

Someday, I'll laugh at the nerves. Someday. Actually, I laugh at them now but cannot shed them. At least I've had confirmation that stress=major factor in weight loss for me. I've been losing since the stress amped up but then when it went to 11? So did the loss.
I am thrilled to pieces the Irena Sendler story is coming to prime time. God love those students in Kansas who fleshed it out for consumption.

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