Simon: You're out of your mind. Early: That's between me and my mind.

Hah. Meara, when I just skimmed through the conversation, I figured you were involved somehow.

I hate that flag.
Ha! I'll pass it on. I think that the guy just flies it because he wants to be "subversive in suburbia."

Tons of people use it, but I'm just not fond of it. Though I do love its visual pun.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

God, yes. He'll say things like "Yeah, wildebeest tastes pretty good, but I prefer springbok" or "snorkeling in Tahiti is great", and I'll look at him and says "When the hell did you do that?" And he'll say, "I told you about that." "No, you didn't!"
I've really got to make a time line for him. Especially as with all the drugs and ailments, he's starting to slip memory wise.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm always struck by the difference about being a boy of 16 wanting to have an adventure and a girl of 16 wanting to have an adventure
If I could have worked out a way to be on a tall ship at any physically fit age, I would have been all over it. What's the gender difference supposed to be?

I am having a hell of a time getting a visual on what to do for my bedroom. My duvet cover is deep eggplant/plum, throw pillows have a less deep purple and some deep pink accents, others are shades of green (I think I have this one still: [link] my bed is painted a deep green and my other furniture is dark stained oak.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Inspired by ita and my Zoya Ki nail polish, I am wearing a pouffy black dress with bright purple tights today.
It makes me feel very girly, which is distinct from feeling feminine or female.

Back in the 70s, when Hubby and I were 16, a boy had a lot more leeway in hopping a ship and seeing the world than a girl did.
