I can dig it, Dana! Fingers crossed for you guys!
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

So Grace got her haircut short today. I hate it. I hate it for reasons that have more to do with my issues than how cute she looks. Her hair reminds me of the second worst haircut my mom made me have when I was going into first grade.
However, her body, her choice.
I still hate it.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I bought a boar bristle hairbrush once and couldn't get it through my hair. Maybe it's best for straight hair.
I need nail polish. I've never said that before. But I have an idea.
I'm more upset about Brexit than I probably seem to be.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Oh man, I think that "I love to embarrass him!" is a terrible reason for someone to throw a surprise birthday party for her boyfriend. (This is a local friend who, when she sent out a group FB message, was asked if the boyfriend likes surprise parties, and she replied "I don't know, but I love to embarrass him!")
I can't decide whether I want to go to watch the slo-mo train wreck this dipshit is setting in motion, or stay home because I can't handle second-hand embarrassment. (It *is* at an Indian restaurant, and I do love me some matar paneer.)
But I mean, really? Maybe you find out how your boyfriend feels about surprise parties before you throw him one? Maybe you don't put "embarrassing him!" at the top of the list of ways to show him you (maybe) love him?
And this is why I celebrated my birthday with a waffle and my husband on the couch last night. Because he would never pull that shit on me.

Ick, Teppy. That's horrible. With 40 coming up for me in 2017, I have reminded TCG that if he throws me a surprise party or allows anyone else to throw me a surprise party, he will die a slow and painful death. Luckily he believes me.
