Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

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. But there's a lot of people who think they should be rapture who haven't been.

What if it's just one guy? One guy who's good enough, and the rest of us have to deal with the anti-Christ, what with his peace treaty and pacifism and prosperity....

Now I need to call my friend, Kristina, and let her know the Rapture is happening on her birthday, and she might want to plan her party with that in mind.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I have already been efficient and Done Stuff for over three hours (okay just barely two, but who is counting). That's enough for the day, right?

Because I'm crazy: 43 laps today, 41 w/o a rest. That's either 2150m or 1960m, depending on whether the pool is yards or meters.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

sara, I think that's why the size 6 clothes.

I still think ON sizing is whack. I have a size 8 pencil skirt from 1993 that I can't quite zip up yet.

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

Old Navy sizing keeps changing, every few years it seems. I almost always wear a smaller size in new clothes from there than I wear in the clothes from a few years ago that still fit.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Aw, man. My birthday is only a few days after the October 21 Rapture and I was planning to be all raunchy and blasphemous and shit. I guess I can probably still do that. But where is the shock value going to come from if all the righteous folk are gone? UNFAIR!!!1!

sarameg, I can't speak for Old Navy, but you cannot judge by sizing in vintage-1993 clothes. In college I generally fell between an 8 and 10. Now I wear a 6 in most brands. I am the same size (my old college clothes that I still have still fit - if anything are snug; I still wear men's Levi's 32 waist.) Sizing is continually shrinking. When I'm 60 I expect to be in a 2.

So the Raptured just float on up to to Heaven, right? I wonder if they can send text messages on the way.
