I haven't been to any of my HS reunions. There's this...thing about me. When pushed by an adoptee friend to search for my birth family, I thought about it for five seconds and said, "The family I have is exhausting enough. Why would I want more family?" A lot of the time I have to push myself to be engaged with the people I know *and love*--why would I want to reconnect with people who barely knew who I was in HS? There's no payoff there, for me. I mean, I wish them well. But come on--I wasn't noticed enough in HS to be bullied or excluded or targeted in any way. They're not missing me, and I feel no impulse to see any of them again.
You guys? I'll reune with you guys anytime I can.
Four dollars away from free shipping? Oh, fuck you, Macy's.
OMG Becky, look at her lack of original sin
Ha!
Rice bags! Of course! I can totally make one of those.
Wow, this is some serious BS that pisses me off. I love my library ebooks. I also buy a lot of ebooks. Honestly I think this won't drive sales as much as it will drive piracy...

That sucks. What a terrible idea!
So it turns out the author behind the Emo Kylo Ren twitter parody account is...Alexandra Petri!
And now there's blowback.
Huh--googling it looks like that came out in January of 2018....but I love Alexandra Petri and somehow that escaped my notice?
Why blowback?
Ha! From Rey/Kylo shipping fans!
Oh, fandom...
Non-electric heating pads: you really can't top a hot water 'bottle', the rubber kind, for nice heating
SO TRUE.
Speaking of age, guess who has two thumbs and also a 5mm kidney stone? THAT'S RIGHT, ME.
I dislike this. (Edited to add that I like the hot water bottle that has been helping me through this difficult time. I like it very much.)
I have a lot of HS friends on FB. I dig them, but high school was pretty fun for me and also I went to high school with some amazing people.
