Dear God, woman. You should totally hit that.
I agree.
The world is a very confused place. Also, wrong.
I agree with that, as well. In my book, speaking elvish makes you as smokin' hot as John Barrowman.
Wait... Quenya or Sindarin?
I haven't had a piano since I was 18. Now that's exciting.
Yes it is. Well, I'm excited for you. And slightly envious.
Just trying to articulate why this is (short version: weight and body image issues, general social awkwardness, getting into a conservative church environment in college) is enough to give me the shakes.
Oh, Anne. You deserve to think and feel better of yourself. Yet another reason, besides my own, for me to despise conservative church environments.

Anne, whilst I want to say a mighty "WORD" to the above (as you speak for me, only my college environment added to my issues for reasons unrelated to conservative church environments) I also am typing with my jaw
dropped,
because (and I know it is useless to say this, because I totally grok that this is about one's own self-image, and hairpats are neither here nor there, but, crikey, I can't leave it unsaid) you are a
strikingly
attractive woman. I'm gobsmacked, and kind of pissed at the universe, at the thought of you feeling that way.
Sorry, though - I know that isn't helpful. But, fwiw, I'm sort of furious with the world on your behalf.
Thank you both very much. I know intellectually that my perceptions of myself (appearance, competence--that's a biggie, etc.) don't always match up to reality, but shaking the feeling of it? That's tricky.
On a more practical level, when it comes to the dating and meeting people to date thing, I honestly wouldn't have the first clue what to
do.
That's scary.

I agree heartily with Fay re: Anne and also re: Fay herself.
Wait... Quenya or Sindarin?
Sindarin. There simply aren't enough examples, even in the notes, to build a reasonable lexicon of Quenya. Christopher has, apparently, become quite agitated and cranky about this, considering the insane clamor coming from the linguistic fanboys.
Okay, getting ready to transfer hotels and mindset. Going from family vacation to professional conference headspace. Also going from very nice, serviceable Residence Inn to more upscale Radisson Wardman Park.
Zoo today as well.
Happy Day Late Birthday Seska!
Happy Belated Birthday, Seska!!! I hope you had a great day!
The Girl is sitting next to me with one sock on. "Why do you have one sock on?" I ask. "I just do," she says.
Did she say this like the Cat in Coraline?

I'm enough of a fangirl to be able to call up the names of the languages from memory but not enough of a fangirl to know the state of the languages themselves. Poor Christopher.
Barb, have fun storming the castle the Radisson.
