Hey, preaching to the choir. I thought our Lady of the Perpetual Sea Breeze was the real deal until the Divine Miss J walked right through that door and right into my ass—which is where my heart is…physiologically. I could show you an x-ray.

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

So it's a certain little boy's birthday today. He spent almost an hour last night crying, mourning that he'd never be 5 years old again. I mean, he was truly heartbroken. I promised him he could be 5 as long as he liked. So as I tucked him in, I asked him how old he'd be in the morning. "5?" I asked. "I think I want to be 6," he answered.

Heh.

When I was about ten, I'd fantasize about staying ten the rest of my life. I'd imagine pressing on the sides of my skull to keep it from growing.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I had the same wish, tommyrot. And Franny had a similar moment when she was 4, cried for an hour because she didn't want to grow up. It's hard. And what can you say to that? Oh but being grown up is Fun! It's NOT fun much of the time.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Jesse,

something like that happened to me when I used to be on yahoo games a lot. a woman, pretending to be a man was trying to pick me up. I became suspicious that the person wasn't a man based on a few things she said and when we spoke on the phone, she tried to lower her voice to sound like a man.

It did not work.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Matilda is not keen on growing up either.

Though I take that as a sign that she's pretty happy with where she's at.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Jesse, that story is kind of mind-blowing. Whoa.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So creepy, le nubian!!

Aw! Happy birthday to him! You should teach him the AA Milne poem that ends, "But now that I'm 6, I'm as clever as clever, so I think I'll stay 6 forever and ever!" Although try to forget about it by this time next year?

Jesse,

I didn't feel stalked or anything, so I didn't think it was creepy. I just figured it was a case of someone who hadn't quite come to terms with her sexual orientation. I wished her the best and moved on, never to hear from her again.
