--there are usually several things up for auction at any given time on eBay that have a "star brust pattern." this is irritating when you're looking for books by steven brust.

--silk shirts have an awful lot of static when they come out of the dryer.

--my friends from high school have actually done a lot of growing up.

--my room is a mess.

Silk shirts in the -dryer-?

Are you trying to kill them?

Re: Silk shirts in the -dryer-?

it actually hasn't ever caused any problems. i'd thought it might, originally, but jonathan (who wears almost nothing _but_ silk_ said he hadn't ever had problems with sticking silk in the dryer, as long as it's not in with a bunch of heavy stuff and it's not on hot.

Hm!

Well, all I have is one pair of silk boxers, so I don't have much of an issue anyway :)

I WON'T grow up!

Actually, you're right. We have. (Or most of us, anyway.)

And so have you.



(And then there are those of us who like to THINK we have....)

Re: I WON'T grow up!

this observation mostly came from having spent the weekend with Rob and Jynx, and lots of people that i knew vaguely from high school (like Ranagar)... most of them have actually grown up and gotten real jobs and aren't doing the soap opera thing anymore. (then there's Karin Arnst, who will never grow up.)

Jynxie is pregnant! there will be a Robert Ian Not-the-warlock in early july!

but yeah, there's been lots of growing up among people i see more often... although since by nature it's a gradual thing i don't necessarily notice it. i mean, i can only tell that *i've*grown up because i can remember the stupid things i did in high school and early college and think "my god-- what was i thinking?!?"

Totally Floored.

She's PREGNANT? Holycowwhendidthathappen? Give her hugs and congrats for me!

And by the stupid things you did in early college, you wouldn't be referring to dating me, now would you?

(you know god only put me on this planet to give you a hard time, don't you?)

Re: Totally Floored.

When? um... (counts on fingers) early last October? She's due around July 4, which is why the party was on May 5 instead. She's very very round. It's cute.

(grumble) With all I have to put up with from you I probably _should_ have been referring to dating you... :)
but no... "high school through early college" is pretty much limited to "early 1994 through the end of my first year at college." Before that I have no recollection of... I'm told I was miserable for most of my sophomore year, and my journal certainly bears that out, but it's a big blank. And while I did stupid things afterwards (*koff* spring of 1997 *koff*) I can live with them and even (mostly) accept the consequences like a grown-up.

There was really no excuse for that two and a half years. But, like I told Katie just recently, kicking a high-schooler for not being emotionally mature is like shooting fish in a barrel.
