Showed Wikipedia to a fairly patient but non-loving-computers D. and I edited her page a little bit. (Want to help??) I need to clean it up and source things and add some more notes I've got on my hard drive. Need sources! Need to make proper references!
Need to write real article on C. Slater!
Moomin liked talking with her about books and made up a squirrel superhero while nestling with me on the couch. He and Rook played Talisman.
We talked about books and poetry and then bitched a while about our vertebrae.
"Bye, have fun on your date, Don't do anything that hurts! I mean, that hurts bad. Uh, I mean, the bad kind of hurt. I mean, the bad bad kind of actual hurting. That hurts your neck. Oh! Nevermind!"
My back really hurts nastily today. It sucked. I think maybe the severe cramps made it all worse and vice versa. I had trouble sitting up for any length of time.
It was perturbing to hear that Wolfie (who had nasty back and mobility problems when i did too in the 90s and still does - i run into her every once in a while with a giant walking stick and enormous snaky green dreadlocks) finally had a real mri and 6 of her vertebrae or discs or something were crushed. all those years she was diagnosed with bogus crazy woman "syndromes" like "somatoform disorder" (which means basically "it's all in your head") and really all the time half her spine was degenerating. fuckers. i hate this country where if you have no insurance you are utterly fucked. and beautiful people like joi endure years of pointless physical suffering with no real help. and the insulting "non diagnosis" on top of it.
Anyway. Harrumph.
btw - I just ran your blog entry through the gender genie. It says 89% confidence you are female.

Gender genie can blow me! I'm at least 50% male, 50% female, and 50% other.

hmm. the genie says that
"Gender genie can blow me! I'm at least 50% male, 50% female, and 50% other."
Is 75% likely female.
It also says you probably wear pink shoes.
