A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

ION, I feel like I can't tell how old anyone is anymore, and also people my age can be at any stage in their career. I just had to ask for birthdates on a bunch of our leadership, and it's fascinating! I was right that one of them is about 50, but now wish I had known it was actually his 50th birthday a couple of months ago. Also our CFO is significantly younger than me, which I knew in my heart, but not on paper.

Ugh. I hate this. So hard to tell how old people are, and so weird sometimes. People in my job range from pretty fresh from college, to career-switching nurses, to people who did something related and came back to traveling after their kids are grown. I've accepted that my manager may be younger than me and have less experience (even if I don't like it), and it helps I don't see them in person almost ever, but when higher up people are young (mostly from seeing their resume and knowing when they graduated), it freaks me out.

That's pretty standard though, isn't it?

Yeah, that's how I've done it before. I have the letter ready to go when I have a new doctor lined up.

My brain hurts. Maybe now is a good time to pick up my towels from Macy's.

Being able to estimate age also difficult for dating. Because I can often tell someone is younger/youngish, but there's a big difference between hitting on a 23 year old and a 30 year old...but I can't always tell!

Connie, my experience with over the knee socks from Sock Dreams is that they're overly optimistic in describing how wide things stretch. I bought two pair that were described as being stretchy enough to fit my thighs. One fit, but doesn't really stay up on their own, and the other ones I couldn't even get over my knee and ended up giving away. Neither of them were those that you linked to.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Friday afternoon!

What are people doing this weekend?

Tomorrow I am getting my hair cut but not colored, and other errands, then and then trying once again to force myself to clean a lot.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I have to clean a lot, too.

I may have my parents staying with my next week, so cleaning is in the cards for me too. Tonight some drinks with friends, Sunday movie with a friend, rest of the weekend, is cleaning and lazing, probably in alternating spurts.

Because books.

What are people doing this weekend?

Moving! I just picked up the keys to my own apartment! Stupidly excited about this.

::waves at everyone::

Whoot! Happy moving Amy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm apparently going to Comic Con tomorrow and the beach on Sunday! But first, a massage.
