Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
She was given a binder to hold her hymns which she promptly decorated with cute animals cut out from her National Geo for Kids.
Gosh, that's adorable.
I've made the startling discovery that most of my shoes are the wrong size. Specifically, I need to be wearing W/C width instead of M/B. Now I can get rid of all these shoes without regrets, and start looking for shoes that don't make my feet hurt.

Heh, and I was heading towards Twin Peaks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Aw. But surely there is someone here who is actually in a church choir, unlike me, who just shows up for holidays and funerals.

Men. Men is who does that. My dad limbed our row of white pines that way, and it took several years, but it left them topheavy and unstable in high wind from a certain direction, and one by one, they all broke, or toppled.
Not all of us would do that. It enraged me when the new owners trimmed all the branches up to the 30 ft mark on a stand of hundred-year oaks along the West face of my previous apartment. It completely eliminated the afternoon shade for the units in two buildings and removed the visual barrier between them and the rehab center across the street. Coming on the end of a hot, dry summer it was a miracle they didn't lose any of the trees (which probably would have then been toppled against their historic building by the periodic straightline winds).

I would be an inveterate hedge pruner, if I weren't so lazy. And hate the sound of hedge trimmers, lawnmowers. etc.

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

Unlike a caterpillar, which would be an invertebrate hedge pruner.

I think I would be pretty good at being a caterpillar. Lazy but hungry. Poisonous, if I get to choose.

This flan is more challenging than I expected, but I think I may have assembled a set up that will work. I don't trust it to run while I'm at work, though.

Well, I ran into a coworker at the bus stop this morning, so at least I knew I was in the right place.
