I have hard time with eye contact, actually. It's going to make tomorrow a little challenging.
Well, look at you. All dressed up in big sister's clothes.

I learned that eye contact beyond the very briefest duration was aggressive. Or maybe just pushy. I'm good at looking at cheekbones.

Found this on T Grandin's website, Unwritten Rules of Social Relationships: Decoding Social Mysteries Through the Unique Perspectives of Autism, [link] which sounds interesting. Not one library in the Bay Area LINK+ system has it!
I spent so much time staring at someone and doing bullbaiting during my late teens and early 20s in the C of S cult that I take it for granted that my perspective on eye contact is warped.

Our wings are not tired.
Awww, Teppy! You know that we all are with you tomorrow. Completely non-invasive hugs and kisses for the bride, of the virtual variety. Although you do know I would have a really really hard time stopping myself from real hugs if I were there. Your new DH is good with hugs, right? The next time we meet perhaps he can be the hug proxy.
Hey, Java cat! Good to see you.
I don't really have an issue with eye contact. Although some people seem to go overboard.

Tep,
have a wonderful day tomorrow! I am sure all will go well. You have all of us with you in spirit.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Happy wedding, Steph and Tim!

It's tomorrow?!
I've been so caught up in a the dram-ma around here, I wasn't keeping track.
Steph, I hope it is a day filled with more satisfaction and joy than you can even imagine.
Oh my. I'm so happy for you and Tim.
I'll be tossing virtual bird seed for you. Hurrah!

I totally lost track of the fact that Teppy is getting married tomorrow! Happy almost wedding day Teppy!
My cousin is also getting married tomorrow. I was not invited, but it is impossible not to know when the wedding is because she has posted about it 10 times a day for the last month.

Tea: However, I will be at my niece's 1st birthday party tomorrow, which I am so very excited about. I can't wait to see her make a mess of her birthday cupcake!
Sunday is TCG's birthday, and I'm taking him to a play and to dinner.
