@lacyjags: That struck me too, but it's a very common mistake. What Jenna meant was "schizoid," which is, lierally, "divided." My psychologist father pounded the difference into my head, but he has limited control over everyone else's vocabularies. :)

Dammit, I am trying and trying and this picture won't load. So here's the link:

@dialing_footnoterphone: That was actually why I dragged myself out early this morning - Michael's sent out 30% off your entire purchase coupons and I used it to buy (in part) the chunky bamboo yarn I needed to finish my mother's birthday scarf. And actually, the conversation we started was about the bamboo yarn. It

You know what's fun? Starting conversations about knitting with random people in the yarn section of the store.

I think I'm crazy. I'm thinking about adopting a third cat. See, a cat followed my neighbors home on Wednesday and sort of adopted my building, but then sometime on Thursday or Friday my other neighbors brought her to the animal shelter.

@Highsmith: Actually, I was wondering about this: what other countries have a system similar to the US's? 'Cause I've only been hearing about the ones with universal health care. Are there any?

Wasn't Fran Drescher raped in her own home by intruders in front of her tied-up husband? I bet she'd have something to say to Adrianne Curry. Because I am pretty damn speechless.

@raphaela: Okay, so does being chased by a rabid fan suck worse than getting grobed by TSA? Again, deep thoughts.

I'm more impressed that they're Barbies with different skin tones and hair and even (although it's hard to tell because only the small picture is showing up for me, so I could be wrong) facial features and slightly different body types. It's like flavored whipped cream. Blows my mind.

Hmm... would I be willing to be photographed all the time, judged all the time by everyone, have complete strangers feel entitled to my time and attention, all for some preferential treatment at the airport? I'm actually going to have to think about that one.
