At least he was being upbeat and encouraging? I'm going to hazard a guess that a Catholic girls' school 30th reunion would not have involved animal print dresses and miniskirts to give him the impression that you ladies were on the prowl.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Lots of skinny white jeans and animal print tops, actually. And glittery sandals. So we may have looked a bit on the prowl.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh noes, football.

What is even happening?
I told her that she was obligated to throw a beer on him to defend our collective honor. And then I got sidetracked by wondering what makes someone stereotype a woman as a cougar -- it's not *just* being a certain age, right? It's that the woman has a much younger partner that leads to the "cougar" classification. And none of us had partners with us, so therefore it was a nomenclature error. (Literally, at my 30-year high school reunion, I said the phrase "nomenclature error" out loud in response to being [collectively] referred to as cougars. My best friend was like "THAT'S the part you're focusing on?" And I said "Yes! Precision is important!")

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We went to the Nationals' game this afternoon. Fun, though we left at the seventh inning stretch because we were all a bit fried. In my case, literally, as our seats were in the sun and I did not wear sunscreen. Now my arms are sunburnt.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
(Though not as bad as people misusing "awe" when they mean "aw.")
I've decided to give people the benefit of the doubt that that is autocorrect.
Which falls apart as soon as someone responds to something cute with "aweeeeee". Not only is it the wrong word, it's emphasizing the wrong sound. (I've seen people repeat the e on cute, too.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Those people should be stopped!!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Oh, that's just wrong.

And -- I feel this is important to note -- I was in no way drunk or even tipsy when I said that. (I had one drink maybe 2 hours before the cougar thing happened.) This used to be the kind of thing I'd say when I was drinking, but now it's just the kind of shit I say whenever. All dork, all the time.
One of the women who was at the party last night posted some pictures and tagged everyone in them, and the cougar jokes are flying in the comments. I am DYING.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

I maintain that if it's done like that, all you've done is put extra effort into re-writing the actual word because it doesn't matter how much you emphasize the silent vowel IT REMAINS SILENT. Cuteeeeeeee? Pronounced Cute. Loveeeeeeee? Love. Yugeeeeee (which, my hand to God, I have seen unironically in the wild)? Yuge. Aweeeeeee? Aw. Also, if I catch you I will set you on fire.
Also also, I may be forced to crash Teppy's next reunion, or more likely just whatever event Teppy happens to appear at next.
