Well, I do have a brother, Zenkitty, but I kind of feel like I couldn't do that to you(In a way, I mean, he's not a Mickens or anything. he cleans up all right, and his politics are decent...I guess I don't see his most datable side.)

You know when you work out a potential research participant is one of your music heroes and start stalking them on twitter but they work out it's you but you're careful enough not to admit where you know them from but it's killing you? Yeah. That.

I could definitely do with more cats. As in, more than none. The Girl is a dog person and allergic to cats. I really should have asked about both those things before agreeing to the second date.

There's a compromise position. I mean, look at him: [link] . That's *practically* a cat.

My biological clock wants coffee and chocolate. That's all. I've never wanted kidlets.

I want daughters. I want to raise smart, capable, independent women. Don't know how successful I would be, but I do know I would look at them the same way as Jilli's dad does to her. You know, the whole his revenge upon the world thing.
