Goodbye, us!

[toorsdenote]

We threw ourselves a goodbye party today. In the afternoon, lots of our friends with kids came with their kids. In the evening, more friends without kids came and things got less shrieky in a hurry

I don't have anything useful to say except to add, I also have this problem. I started realizing that every time I'm not saying something to someone they are doing the same thing to me and it's probably for the same awkward reason.

PS did you do a thing with your name?

I feel like that's the thing I always fail to get through my skull -- that other people also feel bored and lonely and stuff. Somehow I imagine that, when I'm at home wishing I had someone to hang out with, all the cool kids are out there doing cool kid things.

Re: name, one of yinz suggested Em and I kinda like that if I can get over feeling like it implies I'm an Emily? Maybe I could go with M. Or is that too Bond?

"M" is great! I like the spy/hacker alias overtones. Drawback: probably impossible to obtain on social media.

That's OK with me; I plan to keep being toorsdenote most places. This is just for, like, people actually using my name in conversation.

In which case I suppose the spelling is irrelevant...
