Oh, ow. I'm glad they were able to fix it so quickly, but that sounds like such a rotten night. *hugs*

Yay fun comfortable geeking! (and wow, a knitted rainbow fish. I'd like to see that.)

(Did you see the St Paul's cathedral made out of fruitcake?)

*hugs*

Thank you. I appreciate it. I may appreciate a nap even more later...

Wow. I'm impressed, how did you get from rainbow knitted fish to fruitcake?

Rainbows, I bet. Colorful fruit used as windows.

Clever! But alas, you have overestimated my logic. :)

Hey, I'm back from Arisia & catching up on LJ.

Have you read Odd Girl Out: The Hidden Culture of Aggression in Girls by Rachel Simmons or Queen Bees and Wannabes: Helping Your Daughter Survive Cliques, Gossip, Boyfriends, and Other Realities of Adolescence by Rosalind Wiseman?

I've read the first but not the second. Seems to me there's a lot of therapeutic value in reading them and thinking harder about the mean girl phenomenon and how it impacts you long after you've outgrown it.

I know that's where a lot of my leery-of-women behaviors started.

(In a weird bit of synchronicity, rmd were talking about people who faked illnesses on Friday at Arisia and she mentioned DidiSprite from alt.callahans as an example of someone who faked an illness. Which I never knew! But that got me to remembering the mean-girl crap she pulled.)

I haven't read either, but they're both at my library! I can! *beam*

Yeah, about Didi, it was a very odd thing, all together. And, yes, there was a lot of mean-girl crap she pulled that it was odd to see later.

I've read Queen Bees and Wannabees but not Odd Girl Out. There's definitely a lot of thereputic value in it, and actually I was in the process of detaching from a group of "mean girls" (it persists into adulthood, too, and even in mixed gender groups, sigh) so it was very helpful for that.
