Whatever women do they must do twice as well as men to be thought half as good. Luckily, this is not difficult.

It’s funny I heard this quote at a meeting yesterday. Except for the way I heard it was to earn half the pay.
Mike: I can tell that driver was a girl because you have to telepathically talk to females differently than males. You have to tap in to their hive mind!
Me: Hey!…..Racist Sister! *clap*
Mike: Umm, that’s sexist.
Me: I know that. But it’s not as funny.
Mike: It really isn’t.
Me: It’s about priorities.
Mike: Accuracy is sacrificed for humour.
Me: Exactly, after all, what’s really important. 🙂
if you don’t understand this go watch a Very Potter Musical NOW. please.

I will post lots of beautiful pictures for you
So I met a boy tonight, how unexpected. Maybe we won’t ever meet again, but it fun to retell entire movie plots to one another and try and explain how file sharing worked to Michael. We talked about music and art and being born with an understanding for something. We talked about books playing out a movie in our heads that was ours alone, and walking around dazed. It was a brief meeting. Not particularly intimate but somehow it mattered that his eyes met my eyes and the hat he’s knitting is my favourite colour. For a while everyone wandered off and we just sat there talking. It’s nice to imagine.
Tomorrow is his birthday and I wonder if he’ll have a cake with candles and what sort of thing he might wish for.
We might be at the same school next year.
