I'm irked by family that calls and says, "your family is here in town for a visit! Why don't you come up?" Um. 10 hour drive. Flights pricey to get there Monday. Why did you not mention this before?
These girls have the most beautiful dresses. And so do I -- how about that?

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I wish I could've gone to the concert with Shrift. I didn't get out of work until 8:30.
I went to Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me yesterday and they used the Heaven-o story that was linked here earlier this week.

Sasha is a common nick for Alexander. Does that help? Nope, I guess. I don't think of it as a fem name in that context, but outside it I knew quite a few girl Sashas. Anyway, I knew that was a mystery to be resolved and now has been.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My FTM cousin wants to retroactively be referred to as male. I know it's not my call, but I balk. I was reacting to a female at the time, and although confused, my cousin was acting as one. It's very much how I characterise our interactions, although I have no problems with changing everything from the moment of clarity onwards. II just know it hadn't happened yet.
Oddly, moreso than with many of my interactions with relatives, mine with S were really gendered. So it's heavily ironic to have that changed now.

The status is NOT quo.
oooh! yes! Next week is our last full week and tomorrow is my last day of Saturday school (fer reals). So, I'll have more free time soon. Mebbe sunday afternoon coffee?
Sure, if we did late morning or noonish. I'm meeting a friend in the afternoon. Drop me an email and let me know.
This weekend would be good because then I'm gone for most of the summer. It's kind of insane.

I know. Alex was originally Alexander and is now Sasha which doesn't seem anymore female to me than Alex. In fact, kinda less.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Bring it on, baby!!! I love that movie so much. One of my all time fav guilty pleasures.

Alex is one of Franny's favorite names. Not that it would matter to Grace's nurse.
I would share your confusion on the names, Kat. I think of Sasha as a male name.

Unless you mean Sasha Fierce. And then I think "crazy robot hand"
