Ugh, I think I didn't get a flu shot last year, because I totally forgot that I almost always feel slightly crappy for a couple of days after I get it. (This is the sort of thing I can't post on FB, because then people reply with "See! This is why I don't get the flu shot! You can't trust it!" When what's happening is I have an immune system that overreacts to everything, NOT that the flu shot is the devil. The slight crappy feeling is well worth being vaccinated.)

You know how many times I've resisted LDB RIckrolling you guys?

INFINITY AND BEYOND.

You know, my across-the-aisle cube neighbor got Rickrolled a few weeks back, and not only was she all flustered that her computer was playing music, she didn't know the song or that Rickrolling was a thing. That made me feel old.

I'm talking to a Canadian on the phone. I did not know they actually say "Yup, you betcha."

It's so cool when it turns out a cliche is real.

Canadians pretty much say everything people think they do. Ask one to say "The moose is loose about the house" sometime.

Oh, the denial! I think I laughed for six years.

Then again, I say "no problem" an awful lot.

she didn't know the song or that Rickrolling was a thing

I thought Rickrolling resurrected the song for a new generation and further.

Of course, the entire Canadian nation may be playing a practical joke on us. A more civilized response to the South Park movie.

So did I! Maybe not further enough.

Have "wrapped" my secret Santa gift in a plain brown paper bag. Fuck it, I don't care. I said I didn't want to do a gift exchange. Still need to make my dish for the potluck. Don't wanna.

Well, my knowledge started from 1987 (I won't count the 1970-1973 Ontario period).

Is Kat here, or anyone who can answer Hawaii questions? I am reading a fic with a lot of white people talking like native Hawaiians, and calling mainlanders haole. I thought all white people in Hawaii were haole, though. Is this a "brother from another mother" situation?

Someone on IO9 asked people to talk about their furthest move. Mine's 4k+ miles, from Jamaica to London, which is easily beaten by just about anyone that moved to the East, but my father moving from Jamaica to Russia is pretty impressive. And my total mileage is relatively high. One of the posters, in her late 20s, has never moved, even house, and is quite boggled by us all. She's Romanian.

My longest move is 16,552 km, which is apparently about 40% of the earth's circumference. So that's nice.
