Yesterday

[featherynscale]

Love was such an easy game to play, now I need a place to hide away, oh.... wait. That's not right, is it?

Yesterday, I learned some things. One was that a significant portion of my active readership is older than me. I did not know that. I'm pretty sure it means something, but I don't know what.

Another was that a significant portion of same active readership did not know what a cover song was. For you guys, a cover song is one that is re-recorded by an artist who was not the original artist. So, All Along the Watchtower (for example), as recorded by Jimi Hendrix is a cover version of the original, by Bob Dylan. And so on. All caught up now? :)

Today: triadruid says I am owly. By this, he means (I know, because I asked) that I'm mostly staring and snapping at things. I'm okay with that -- in my world, staring and snapping at things indicates being on top of my game.

Also, later, probably a thejobfairy update.

EDIT: Also also, taking meds = being alert and hungry. Not taking meds = being fuzzy-headed and uninterested in food. One would think that as clever a being as I would be able to remember that on a daily basis, and perhaps, take its fucking meds.

I'll be ducking after I'm saying this:

I hate to tell you this, but you and my mother do share a birth year.

It's okay, really. I don't mind because I suspect I'm very much not like her.

This was the conversation in the kitchen last night:

Me: Brandy is only five years older than Rachel, and Devin's only eight.

David: So had we met a few years earlier, they could be our children.

Me: Yeah.

David: Wow.

It got less articulate from there, pretty much devolving into monosyllabic grunts.

I have a lot of moments like that anymore. One of the crowning ones was after interviewing this new person in the lab. She is of the age that I could have given birth to her. Erk!

You're hardly anything like her. Except you're both tough broads. Other than that, nothing at all.

If it's any consolation, saffronhare and I had a conversation once in which we realized that if one were to stretch the biological possibilities to their limits, technically she is old enough to be my mother and I am old enough to be princessboredom's (and so, by extension, dragon_sword's)

And for other weirdness, tho' Kryss and I are fourteen years apart.... Our mothers share a birth year.

Heh, her family spawned early, my family spawned late, we had stories to tell.
