School was generally too far away to walk to when I was a kid, but my parents never seemed to worry about me wandering around our trailer-parkish neighborhood or the adjoining woods when I was a gradeschooler. Which makes me wonder if my mom grew into more of a worrywort in later years.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
My Avengers DVD shipped today, going from Sterling VA to Laurel MD, where it is now. Now of course I understand carrier routes, but still I'm thinking, I could have driven to Sterling and picked the darn thing up.
Also, my BFF's DVD, which I ordered for her a week ago, arrived today. Mine was preordered in June!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
I just saw Romney's talk about his wife and the windows in the plane...
I don't know what to say. It didn't look like he was joking.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
My Avengers DVD shipped today
Mine, too. And while it's guaranteed to be delivered tomorrow, I have a meeting after work that goes until 9 or possibly even 10, and I can't get out of it. Damn it.

I was considering calling out sick so I could watch it as soon as I got it. Then I decided to be a groan-up.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

This may be a typo but I lurves it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
We need a new word for autocorrectos. Like thinkos, but with predictive text. It amuses me, because Buffista grammar has declined with the advent of smartphones, because I've seen errors made I know were not the result of a Buffista mind.
Our town was 5 miles by 5 miles, and we had the run of it. When I was super little I couldn't go into the woods by myself, which still left me a good ten acres to wander just on our land alone. But once I was older, I walked all over the town, with or without friends.

I would do this, except for how I had the DVD shipped to my work. Last week of the quarter. Annual review in process. Must go to the office.

We are Buffistas. This isn't our first apocalypse. -- Pix
So in addition to my other onerous tasks today, I sent email to one friend I'd mostly fallen out of touch with, with condolences for her father's death. And to another to apologize for dropping the ball on a project related to her website.
I kind of feel like this whole family thing is sucking away my ability to maintain other relationships. Which bites.

"Groan-up" was a typo I made a few days ago and I liked it, so I kept it!
