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.

he must have enough stories for 2 lifetimes.

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.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Oh, huh, cause it was a total "aha" phrase for me. Because I really don't/can't do girly on a day to day, but I do love to put it on sometimes (see: prom) and it does feel very much like costuming.

Yeah. I see a big difference between doing that stuff 'cause its fun and doing that stuff out of some sense of... duty.

I generally wear no makeup. I had a co-worker this BUGGED unduely. I told her I didn't like the way it felt .I meant the sense of "need" as much as the tactile but before I could get to that she responded with glee, as if the sun had risen, and her mission in her life had been declared "Oh! That's just because you don't know HOW to apply makeup"

"I got an A in makeup"

Seriously. I can do it. I just can't be bothered the bulk of the time.

(Actually, I can't do a liquid eyeliner cat eye and this pains me. Plei tried once and couldn't quite pull it off to her own satisfaction and she's the QUEEN. I think the shape of my eye is just wrong for it.)
