I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

ack! I've been earwormed for THREE DAYS. What with? "two all-beef patties, special sauce ..." Worst earworm ever.

I'm earwormed with "Not While I'm Around."

I'm such a dork.

I was earwormed yesterday with "Can't Touch This." It seems to have faded today, but I suspect that's just because "Hey Mickey" shoved it off the stage.

Thanks to SYTYCD, I've been earwormed with "Poker Face" for two days. Occasionally it segues into the "Benny Lava" Bollywood satire [link]

Wah.

Oh, I LOVE Benny Lava. It's just so unbelievably cheesy.

It's been so miserable and damp for ... more than a week?

We have been gray, chilly and damp for like the past three months. It's driving me crazy. But today we finally have orb. Bliss.

My allergies have been epic. I am not losing any weight. Two coworkers are out and I thought it would be a lazy day, but nooo, suddenly everyone has questions and I'm the only person around to answer them. I just want to watch The Daily Show and get some work done, people!

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My sinuses are trying to escape through the back of my head. PLEASE LET THIS FUCKING WEATHER END TODAY.

I woke up with a headache that WILL NOT GO AWAY. It doesn't seem sinus-y or migraine-y, but carpet-bombing it with drugs is not working. Ice on the back of my neck isn't working.

Trepanning is next.

For sinus headaches, I've found that putting hot/warm compresses over my face (covering the forehead, eyes, and nose) helps some. Or standing in a hot shower with the water pouring down over my face.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I think for a lot of people, erika, it takes some work to understand that sexuality and gender identity are separate. But when you think of it as: this is who I'm attracted to, and this is how I feel in my body it's a little easier to get.

People that have gender dysphoria don't feel right with their biological package of sex organs. You may have issues with your body but you're fine with having girly bits.

At some point (I think) it's difficult to describe it all as a series of binary choices. It's not nearly as simple as Chastity was a lesbian and now wants to be a man. Both sexuality and gender identity can be kind of fluid and evolving anyway.

I just wanted to mention that this is the best, clearest description of gender vs. sexual orientation I've read anywhere. You're the bee's knees, Hec.
