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!
Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

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.

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.
