Definitely not everyone did, but it was in the air for sure.
Yeah... That went well.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have at least one gay friend who says he knew from kindergarten. He just didn't want to pull any girl's ponytails.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Heh.
Oh, I totally forgot - when I was in first grade, I was under the impression I had three girlfriends. But then I somehow lost interest in girlfriends until 10th grade.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I was far too terrified of The Other Humans to actually do anything about it in middle school, but hello - puberty! Of course that's when people start exploring sexuality!

ION, I was just about to call my new landlord and ask for the address to mail my rent check, when it occurred to me to look at my lease. Yep, his address is there.
I think I'm going senile....

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
The job that's been interviewing and background checking me wants someone to start on October 5th. That means, as of today, they have one week to get in touch with me, make an offer, and have me accept it. If it's acceptable.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
UGH, Dana.
I just got excused from jury duty, which means I don't have to jump in my car and drive 30 miles to South San Francisco to be there by 1:00 this afternoon, which could have been what happened.

Woot!! Mom just called with the "good news"--she got the check she'd been waiting for from the executor of her godmother's estate. She had no clue how much it was going to be, but told me that if it was "sufficient," she'd give me enough to take the first few classes of my MLS program I'm applying for to start in January. Well, it was enough to take that worry off my mind!
Now I just have to get the application in, and then after I take the first class, I can submit it to my office here for reimbursement (they're reimbursing up to $5K per year for an approved graduate degree, and since I work in the corporate library, an MLS is approved!). I don't have to worry about applying for a student loan now--such a relief.

That's great, Kathy!
I just bit into a juicy peach, and now I feel like it's not really work-appropriate. Ah well.

I just went to KFC. They're doing "market research," which involved them interviewing customers with a video camera.
I turned down the chance, as I just wasn't in the mood to be videoed on my lunch break. I could have gotten a $10 coupon if I had agreed. Now I almost with I had, just to fuck with them. Like, I could have twitched noticeably every time they said, "KFC."
