Ugh. Am working at a doctors office and just overheard s convo of a mom turning down gardasil for her daughter because she wants the daughter to wait til she's married to have sex. Great, lady. Can you ensure that will happen? Ensure she won't choose otherwise? Be forced to do otherwise? That even if she does wait, her husband will have waited? Or will never cheat? Hrmph.
This isn't a come-on. I'm in a very serious relationship with a landscape architect.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
we had an earthquake, and now there are tornados?
And my cat had to go to the vet. wtf?
The warning includes the Loop.
Radar looks like Rogers Park is almost out of the heavy stuff.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
It's a little quieter here, but downtown still looks nasty. The highways are a nightmare. A traffic cam on I-80 is showing hail.
One of the reporters said that in 20 years he's never heard the tornado sirens downtown.

I read about tornadoes in the south suburbs, and I get flashbacks to August 1990, when that F5 roared through Plainfield. I knew some people who were injured, but luckily enough avoided serious injuries or dying, but my aunt and uncle knew the three who were killed when their church got hit. That link mentions the high school, and the mom of a friend of my sister's was working there and barely dived into the hallway before the tornado hit the school, and that hallway was the only thing left standing. She ended up with just a few scrapes on her back.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
Leadership spill is over. Australia has a new PM: Julia Gillard, first woman in the role, elected unopposed. The incumbent, Kevin Rudd, didn't contest the ballot.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Glad all that politics shenaniganning is over, bt. Now you'll be able to pay proper attention to the tennis tomorrow.
It pretty much has to be anticlimactic at this point. I mean, there's no way they can get back into that groove. But staring at the scoreboard today was pretty fun. For watching numbers tick over.
Also, texting furiously with my sister. And falling in love with the Guardian guy. Such a busy day.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I'm eating my vaguely irish dish and 'tis the nom. I'm also watching Avatar - Nicktoons played a bunch of eps last night. And Xusa didn't need any extractions during her teeth cleaning today, so yay on that.
