I thought it would be a girl. Not that I need it to be a girl, because I'm not eleven anymore, but... sj, yuck. Sorry if she doesn't have a sense of humor or whatever, but the hurt does fade eventually. And if she is like my father one day, she'll show up unexpectedly and hook up your TV, and then go back to ignoring you again.
Marco: Do we look reasonable to you? Mal: Well. Looks can be deceiving. Jayne: Not as deceiving as a low down dirty... deceiver.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Am I a heretic for not really caring about the birth of the Royal Baby Boy? Granted, I also can't understand why everyone fusses over celebrity babies period.

I only care because royal families get to play with Serious Bling and I'm all about the sparklies. Plus the tie in to centuries of history.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It's our royal family and I can't muster up much caring about it. I mean, I wish the family well and I'm generally well-disposed towards babies, but beyond that I'm happy to hold on for more proximate babies.

I am unable to work up any interest. They could get my attention by naming him Aethelred.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I seem to care, but I can't figure out why. I mean, I'm a pretty serious Anglophile, but that's for culture, not royalty. Still, I watched the wedding and was genuinely happy to hear of the new princelet.

It's not that I'm unhappy, and I generally think William and Kate are good people, but the overwhelming craziness for the wedding and the baby are slightly beyond my ken.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
...and all your Barbies?
Yeah, I sort of understand it, but over here, from the sidelines, and with a sort of wry expression.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
sj, it's hard to even imagine anyone feeling that way about you. She must be nuts. Sorry you two have to deal with it.
smonster, I hope this eases up for you so work gets easier and you can enjoy your vacation!
I want them to name the kid Stewart, but they totally won't.
Speaking of vacation, I haven't been taking enough and now have 19 days to burn off before the end of the year. It'll all be staycation, because I don't have any more money for travel. I wish we could still carry it over.

sj, I forgot to say I'm sorry you're dealing with this. Her loss, and most certainly not your fault.
