Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Because books.
Nah, because you have too much fabric on one side, which can be hemmed easily, but you can't make fabric out of nothing.
But I don't want to be taller just for the pants!

I can't stop creating roller derby names.
'Cuz you're awesome at it! You should think up roller derby names for msbelle and ita and rio.
I can't believe Skanky McFarland hasn't been registered. Maybe too obscure?
Generational thing, I expect.
sarameg, I think you're pretty photogenic.

Right, there's the whole looming thing which is hard to do at 5'4".
Oooh, look how I snuck the quotes marks inside the end-stop there.

not your mom's socks.
At just under 5'1", I think I can safely say pants must not fit anyone.
Very much this. Though I'm currently liking a pair of Columbia hiking pants. I think they're supposed to be cropped though. NSM, and I'm fine with that.

Oh we can loom. It's just subtle.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I could be a roller derby coach, not so much a skater.

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
I just realized that Google Maps has at least two streets wrong in my neighborhood. Both of them are dead ends that the map shows continuing and intersecting other streets. I remember the GPS getting one of them wrong, too, when it said to keep going on a street that ended. Weird.
There may have been an extension planned at some point that never happened.

OK, so Miss Taylor friended me on facebook. We are gonna have a Talk about image and the internet. It's pretty tame stuff and she's got her profile locked up pretty tight, but she's only 15, and I am an old fogey. She may not want her bikini cheesecake profile photo out in the ether when she's networking for school, you know? (Nevermind my OH MY LITTLE GIRL thing happening....)

I looked up directions from my office to somewhere once and they had you drive up the stairs, across the plaza, through the lobby of the 80-story building. That was built in the late 70s. Then you made a right turn on Columbus and went south for a mile, a trick that would require going from Upper Columbus to Lower Columbus apparently by way of driving off the bridge, Dukes of Hazzard style.
