Actually, I was thinking it would be sort of like a pet. You know, we could...we could name her Trixie, or Miss Kitty Fantastico, or something.

smonster, that's a Vogue Knits thing so the pattern should be in the magazine. It's all intarsia, but I bet you could get someone to make it for you.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

So, wait...if your co-worker, who likes sci-fi but doesn't call any particular fandom his own counts as "medium"...what's a small?

"I've heard of a phaser and didn't puke"?

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

It's not like crime stuff, where I assume I will like it all...

Okay, but you're a crime freak. Let's not understate that.

I just think the whole fandom thing counts for a whole lot.

I apologise to everyone--I'm the person with the stinky lunch at her desk. I'm also the idiot drinking OJ when she knows it will give her a stomach ache. But I miss it.

It's not that he doesn't call a fandom his own--it's that he isn't in fandom. He's just a fan, but has no community. But he likes sci fi as a genre, and seeks entertainment out on that basis. But he doesn't strike relationships up because of it.

Small? I'd say likes a little, incidentally.

I say poop on ms. ita's definitions. I am a small sci-fi fan. SO THERE!

You're tainted by fandom, lady, own it.

So, Gracie has started giggling aloud. It's a breathy little chortle. You can hear and see it here: [link] The first noise is her laughing and then she laughs again after she leaves P, the nurse, and has almost reached me.

Because books.

I never drink juice anymore because of the diabetes. Although I do eat, um, cake and stuff. But juice is such a pure shot of sugar! And it's no chocolate, that's for sure.
