I haven't gone over to Boxed Set since I got really behind on Doctor Who and Torchwood, but I figured it was okay to post this story here about a Doctor Who fangirl who is a great representation of the online geek fan overall. The reporter does a good job of reproducing her speaking style, which is stereotypically teenage girl.
Say! look at you! You look just like me! We're very pretty.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
This week has felt really long. Probably because I'm tired.

In Christmas Joy news, Casper has head lice. We JUST got over dealing with fleas. Pests - why so pesty?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
At least it's not ghosts? Or armadillos? I dunno, sorry.

Oh, boo, flea!
My sister had some success with olive oil: it drowns the adults and isn't toxic to the child.

You know you're busy when people keep telling you to leave meetings early so you can get some more work done.

Flea, we finally dealt with lice via mayonaise. Same idea as the olive oil.

I was volunteering in Liv's classroom last week when a classmate told me she had lice. I had to wait an hour before I could talk to the teacher about it and get the scoop. Her mother had kept her home for two days while they dealt with it. But our district does not require it nor does it require the parents of the infected kids to even inform the school. And no other notification goes out if they do.

We've had 2 notices from Casper's class, but a while ago. But apparently today they combed every kid's hair and found nits on about half of them, so about half of Casper's class sat in the nurse's office for 2 hours with plastic bags on their heads. I've never had lice or dealt with them on anyone before, but we've looked on everybody's head and I'm not seeing what the pictures on the internets show. Apparently they took 10 nits off Casper today, but I certainly didn't find any more. Is 10 a lot?
