I'm glad I am not the only one with eye doctor paranoia. Even the "which is clearer" test stresses me out, and I sometimes have to ask to see things twice, just to make sure.
You're not gonna jokey-rhyme your way out of this one.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I was in 6th grade and had gone home for lunch with my friend Sandra, who lived across the street from our elementary school. I wasn't supposed to go as I had no permission. The shuttle blew up 9 minutes into lunch and the school had a hell of a time fimding me. I got into loads of trouble.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Happy Birthday Juliana!
Oh, and I think we were watching when it blew up, and I was in third grade, but I don't really, really remember.
ETA- Obviously I am conflating two events, because I am older than Aims! We probably watched another launch in in third grade!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
we were watching at school in the auditorium and we ran out to the coutyard and disturbed all the classes in session with the news and then they all came in to watch the news also.
WOOHOO for Friday, people.

Friday! What are people doing this weekend?
Today has the feel of a very Mondayish day. I know of at least three projects I may have to do, but I suspect all three of them are going to turn into oh never minds, after I spend several hours waiting to hear about them.

I was in my high school humanities class when the shuttle exploded. They rolled in a TV to watch the news.

The alt text made me laugh myself sick.
I came *this* close to posting a link to that xkcd in Minerverse.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Happy Birthday, juliana!
Our neighbors are getting a new roof on their garage--which is closest to our bedroom windows. The nail guns started at 7 a.m. Which is great because it means I was awake when my sister called at 8.
Got to turn her down before I even had coffee.
I'm really glad it's Friday.
