Stuff you sometimes have to learn
Boy Child, my son, is 13 and in eighth grade. His sister, Girl Child, is 9 and in fifth grade. Boy Child is autistic and has ADHD. He's trying to write a research paper and his sister had to spell out "taught" and "barely" for him. She then came in where I was sitting and whispered, "He doesn't know how to spell a lot of words ( Read more... ) -
Inappropriate!
While watching season one of Doctor Who with the kids (because that's what good parents do), we came to the debut of Captain Jack Harkness. In the scene, Jack is watching our heroine dangle from a Barrage Balloon during the London Blitz, and true to our captain he says, "Nice bottom." His compatriot in arms believes he's talking to him, and Jack ( Read more... ) -
A quiet explosion of a moment
I started taking belly dancing classes this month (American Tribal Style, if you're interested). So tonight was my third class and we're in the rec center's dance room. Huge mirror in front of me and I realize I'm not watching myself in the mirror enough to know if I'm getting the moves or not. I don't particularly like looking at myself. I have ( Read more... ) -

And I just figured out what and where AO3 is! Neat! It's like I'm a newbie all over again, fumbling about to find out what all the cool kids are doing. And you cool kids have been so busy. I love it! Now, I'll just knock on the AO3 door and hope I gets an invite in. *looks pointedly about the room ( Read more... ) -
How embarrasing
I am so 2010. I mean, all my icons are completely out-of-date and I have links to Myspace and Greatest Journal on the side, here. How gauche. I need a new wardrobe and catch up with the times, man! I have a shopping list, oh! And I have a tumblr account now. Is anyone here on there? I just got it today and can't say I'm working it well or using ( Read more... ) -
Oh hell
I am trying to figure out DW. It seems like I should know this, and yet, I am not sure if I am "friends" with people. Do I subscribe to them? Am I in a circle and who's am I in? Can it be a square or possibly a triangle? How do I find people on here? Am I alone, in the dark, talking to myself? Is anyone out there? I am pressing my face to the glass ( Read more... )
