Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Wow, the number of people in that article saying that he shouldn't have dated the guy at 18...why do I still get irritated by that stuff? I know that's the world. It's not the worst thing the world does, and it won't stop me dating a putative legal teen, but still...irks. Don't like, don't do. But it's legal, so leave it be.

And the people saying that he was totes gay, so...

SO WHAT? SO STATUTORY RAPE?

Right. Comments. On the web. Let me get back to work.

And this tea. Tasty tea.

What type of tea are you having that is so tasty, ita !?

This is the tasty tea: Rishi Peach Blossom tea--it's white tea with peach and tangerine overtones. It's pretty damned forgiving towards the vagaries of brewing at work and oversteeping because of random stuff. And I clearly need to buy from that website, because $10 for just over one ounce at the Vitamin Shop is Teavana-esque.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Happy birthday, Jess! Happy anniversary, sj!

Go you with the dog rescuing, Dana!

I spent the weekend being outdoorsy and active, and now I'm sore. This is why so many of us shun you, Exercise! If I'm gonna have sore thighs I should get a hickie and some rumpled sheets to go with them.

Hahahah! Yes. I may still be bitter that I was all excited about a second date this weekend, and then she canceled and hasn't suggested a reschedule (I mean, she claimed "rain check", but didn't then say "I'm free next weekend" or anything). Grrr.

Yay ita having a tea she likes?

"I'm useless alone." // "We're all useless alone. It's a good thing you're not alone."

Note to self. Maybe no more feeding the dog for the moment.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Ugh, there is nothing good about that Kevin Clash story. I hope the allegations are false.

So far my birthday has consisted of being woken up at 4am by two five year-old boys who decided they had something VERY IMPORTANT to talk about right at that moment. Then they woke up again at 6, this time permanently. Fortunately DH woke up with them and made breakfast because he is a SAINT.

I have since taken the spare 5 year-old back home and things are moderately calmer. They are about to get even more calmer when I put A down for her nap.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Nova is back home, though her teeth have not been cleaned. She has lost another pound since September, and the vet didn't want to stress her more. An extensive blood panel is being done to see if there's a reason behind the serious weight loss. Hopefully it'll be something treatable.
