Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Blue hairs sure aren't what they used to be.

Always Anti-fascist!

I can top that, Tep, but at least I came to like Mom's ex. But he did once ask me, since he had five minutes in line, what's the difference between Ds and Rs. I was too shocked to be smartmouthed instead "?!" She may get more excited/nterested with time or she may not. I'm finding my own political passions running pretty low right now, but I am frequently at that well while others are not so it's kind of like a hangover, maybe...intellectually, I know she's the choice and maybe that's enough...

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

I know, meara! Also Jess and Polgara? Such good company.. I've only ever done purple before, and the blue part washed out fairly quickly leaving more or less pink, but I suspect blue will accentuate my eyes, which has to be good.

I think I'm still a little young for traditional blue hair? Although maybe not.

I wonder if there is a word for the kind of geek I am right now. I have an Office 365 subscription since my company's recent software upgrade, so I am sitting here on Friday night playing with Excel on my iPad to see if I can optimize my purchasing within this pedometer game on my phone that I am into.

Our wings are not tired.

I took a 3 hour nap earlier, during the work day! Staying late every night all week for convention watching wore me out.

Taking a break from hair color, but love seeing the various fun colors. Some day, maybe when I have more gray.

I'm getting back to work to write encryption code for analytics reports. I lost an hour today getting my password reset after it expired despite our webmail telling me I had eight days left to change it. It's very confusing to the IT help desk because not many people at Lowe's know that our office exists and we have a weird network configuration.

Course it would be easy if we could create the file first and then encrypt it, but that isn't the right way to do it, so it's time for bouncycastle (that's a Java encryption library).

"It's time for bouncycastle" probably sounds more fun than the reality.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
