Teppy, did you work on a magazine called Blood? A dude on the train is reading it!

I did not, but I always wanted to, just for the name.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

I wish I hadn't quit piano lessons (or can I blame it on my parents for letting me quit? hmmm) and I really wish we had a piano now. I would love to play now.

Me, too, exactly. I did well, and then I decided I hated it and Mom let me quit. Now I wish I hadn't.

I still startle people with how emphatically I speak--I frequently come off as intimidating

I know that I sometimes come across as intimidating, but I've never really known why. I wonder if this has something to do with it.

I have wanted to do nothing but sleep or stare at telly for three days. I blame the weather.

Okay, I still from time to time read one wedding blog, because it has a lot of posts about married life and life in general. But also wedding stuff, because it's a wedding blog. Only now it's entertaining for me to read, because I don't have to deal with that shit ever again!

Anyway, I was reading a post with questions from readers about picking your bridal party, and one reader wondered if 9 (on just her side) was too many.

The very first comment was "I think nine is a nice number because then they can be your Nazgul."

AWESOME.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

You'd be all set for baseball.

Realizing I could have had Nazgul makes me slightly regret not having a wedding party.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

My apartment totally smells like pot. What IS Darby getting up to all on her own?

Suddenly her 75% chill/25% paranoid personality is making more sense.

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

The very first comment was "I think nine is a nice number because then they can be your Nazgul."

I for one endorse replacing "Maid of Honour" with "Witch King of Angmar".

Because books.

Baseball was my thought, too, -t! (I had to look up Nazgul. I await my demerits.)

Suddenly her 75% chill/25% paranoid personality is making more sense.

Maybe she's just holding for someone ...

I just have to figure Gracie was somehow covering for her til now.

I mean, it could be the new downstairs neighbor but that seems a lot less plausible.
