I recently got matched on OKCupid with a super cute transguy (he said it in his profile, I guess to weed people out...). Too bad I could not get past my height issue!
Look, Angel, I know you've been out of the loop for a while, but I'm still evil. I don't do errands...unless they're evil errands.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Jesse, you're absolutely hysterical.

Seriously, I was like, "Well, maybe.... Oh, 5'6"??? Sorry, sir."

I love that the height was the deciding factor.
It took me 30 minutes to get dressed this morning. Or to decide on clothing. I have to give a presentation at a school site I've never been too today. It's hot. I wanted to go the sundress route, but just NOT professional enough. And I have cropped pants in three colors: khaki, green and pink plaid. The shirt that would be appropriate did not match ANY of those pants.
I tried on three dresses and put them in the donate bag, ditto with two bras.
Finally I chose a duro dress with a red cami and Simple shoes. I feel like I'm in erinaceous drag.

I'm wearing the dress I swore not to wear to work anymore, because of Jesse. She said camisole and dress, I thought of this, and now we'll see if I'd just been having a day or what.
Also, I will not make eye contact with strangers.

S. woke me up with an Egg McMuffin and a hash brown, and I was so happy! And then it was eh. Total eh. McDonald's, you let me down.

Exactly. Now I want a donut replacement breakfast.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
I found out last night that my great-uncle Ted died last Saturday. He was my father's uncle, but, in the way of turn-of-the-last century farm families, was 20+ years younger than Grandpa, so he was more like Dad's brother.
Uncle Ted was a good guy. Physically, he looked like Theodore Roosevelt to a scary extent. (I think he cultivated his mustache just to enhance the effect.) As he lived on the other side of the country, I only saw him a handful of times, but he was always kind and interested in my life when I did see him. He died at 86, after a short hospital stay, and he was active and aware of what was going on around him right up to the end. I'll miss him.
