I drop people from my Friends list rarely, and for only a few reasons: One is people who are ostensibly part of my regular social circle, but whom I have little or no personal contact with. I tend to be very patient waiting for people to add me back, but people in that category who don't add me back after some time tend to get snipped (particularly if they post infrequently).

I like to keep my out-of-town people, or those who are local but whom I don't know in IRL, because I very much appreciate their points of view. I love my circle, but don't want to lose sight of the rest of the world.

Entries that cause me regular angst are another reason I drop people. Surprisingly, I have yet to drop anyone for political entries. *wink*

Happy birthday, staxxy! (Even though I'll probably be saying it to you in person before you see this.)

Why, yes, I do read while I'm brushing my teeth. It's an old family tradition.

And no, kitties, I cannot read through you as you sit on my magazine. It's too bad it's verboten to move cats if they aren't in active peril.

I had nothing to do with the deflated 8-foot snowman puddled on a lawn on my way into work.

I was too late.

The floor at Beth's Cafe is so greasy that I slid on the sidewalk after leaving the restaurant.

Don't say I never gave you anything. Just for you Mozilla users (and you know who you are), I've changed my page layout and colors so my posts will show up without being highlighted first.

Okay, so there's the small fact that I couldn't read my own entries from the Calendar view. But I really was going to do that for you anyway. :-P

No one will care about this but me, but I'm going to make note of it anyway. (It also serves well to illustrate the effects of ADD meds on sleep-deprived brains.)

This morning I learned to roll my r's the right way. I've been able to roll them far back in the my throat since I was a kid, and once I figured out the trick to bringing them forward in my mouth, but until today that secret was lost. I was playing around with the lyrics to one of Sunday's choir songs and suddenly got it. I hope I can remember the trick now.

Too bad I'm no longer using my Spanish much, with the exception of occasional choir pieces. Better late than never, I suppose. (And it's very personally satisfying to have figured this out anyway.)

The old way of rolling my r's is the same technique I use to purr. I can purr on the inhale and the exhale, which, according to my cat mailing list, is uncommon. Of course I still run out of air quickly, not being a real cat, and we don't really know how they purr anyway. Still, it's a fun thing to be able to do with cats, and it seems to be good enough for them.

Damn. I wish I'd gotten my makeup on before the cute copier repair guy came in.

Happy birthday, eonen, and congratulations on your safe orbits.

And baphometsangel--I saw you Saturday night (chatting in the back room with girlgoth) but I'm not sure you recognized me. *hand*staple*forehead* Well, happy birthday anyway. ;-)

Don't make me give myself all the hugs.
