And I wonder, what possible catastrophe came crashing down from heaven and brought this dashing stranger to tears?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

On my walk/run this morning I realized that Imogen Heap comes up on my nano every time I reach a certain point on the route, despite all the songs being shuffled. I hope this doesn't mean Mischa Barton is going to pop up from behind the Veterans Plaza sign and bust a cap in my ass.

Ha! There was a pretty great Sopranos parody that used that Imogen Heap: [link] (if you've managed not to be spoiled for the finale already, I don't need to tell you this is spoilery)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, god. I wasn't sure what the song was, but when the vid reached that part I had to laugh. My only exposure to it has been TV shows.

I don't think so. It just seems younger now than it did, say, when I was 14.

Exactly--it's definitely younger to be OUT about it than people used to be, but...as everyone else said, if straight dating isn't bizarre at that age, neither is gay dating, really. Though I do get teh impression that a lot of the girls who do say in high school that they're bi don't necessarily end up dating women later in life. But whatev.

We win the internets! Err, the meara-nets!

Hee! Well, I'm looking all over, but the more I look, the LESS i feel ready to move! It's so scary!

Art Crawl!!!

NBC just broke into tennis to say that there was a bombing at the Glasgow airport.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

Yeah, girlfriend in Glasgow. Wah.

Somebody drove a burning car into the terminal.

That's what it was. Something nutty.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.

There was two people in the van, they tried driving the van (looks a bit like an A-Team one, heh) into the terminal. They ramed the doors but didn't get through. It went up in several explosions. The drivers got out and started fighting with people outside the terminal. Both have been arrested.

Doesn't look like anybody died. Third carbomb in two days in the UK.

brillig

Back to the gay talk, I didn't even know such a thing existed in high school. Why, yes, if you opened a dictionary to the word clueless during the 70s, my picture would have been in it. Living in an isolated rural area and never talking about sex with your kids does keep them sheltered.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Congratulations, brenda! I love how the kitchen opens into the living room. And the deck is nice. So happy for you!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Went to Target and DSW, where I spent a lot of time for not much result. I've decided I need more flat shoes for work (stupid bunions), but the "no flip flops" rule in our dress code really means no sandals that go between your toes (per Big Boss), and everything else that was left in my size just depressed me. I did get some Dr. Scholls, which may or may not be work shoes, but should be good for non-work, at least.

Third carbomb in two days in the UK.

Yikes! Although this most recent one seems relativly inept, at least...

Someone used that Imogen Heap on So You Think You Can Dance in the "dance for your life" portion of the competition, and it felt like a really bad choice to me.

Congrats, brenda!

And job-ma, y'all.
