I can't seem to make myself sleep when I should. No wonder I'm always tired.

I just finished sending out a bunch of confirmations to requests to join lists I run, and weeded out some people who's email bounced, and other sorts of listmum type maintenance. Some guy complained that Boston Polyamory (a yahoo group I run with [livejournal.com profile] webbob and [livejournal.com profile] zzbottom) is not as talkative as it used to be. I think he got us confused with Poly Boston (which is a real email list, run by [livejournal.com profile] beowabbit). Happens a lot. In fact I have no idea why we bother to maintain Boston Polyamory when Poly Boston is such a good list. I suck as a listmum. I can do some of the silly maintenance, but I can't get people to talk, which is really what lists are all about, and [livejournal.com profile] beowabbit is a fantastic list'rent. I feel like just posting a final goodbye post - "just all go subscribe to Poly Boston, that's where you really want to be!" and just killing the stupid yahoo group.

Okay, the "Things that look like guns" episode, because Casper requested it...

So I told you all that on Monday I was the bad person because I took a vase away from a passenger. Tuesday, early on, I was on the x-ray near the end of my half hour when I got an image which looked very convincingly like a gun, though rather on edge. I called over my lead (CG) and asked him what I was supposed to do - call a cop or what? He re-ran the bag, so it was easier to see, and then it was obvious that it didn't actually have gun-type innards - it had to be a metal squirt gun or a lighter. But he had to call everyone, it's procedure - I saw Suits I hadn't seen in months, not to mention cops. The lane was shut down and we all moved to the same positions on a lane which had not been in use.

I was on the x-ray for about another half hour when I saw a small, black cut-out-like image of a gun. I thought it had to be a smallish chunck of lead in the shape of a gun, which was exactly what it turned out to be. But, of course anything which looks like a gun has the same procedure. Funny thing was, CG came in answer to my beckon saying "Tell me it's another one!" :)

People were joking with me that if I found a third they'd have to make up a crown or something.:)

But I do think it's a little silly that people are still congradulating me on this. I mean, anybody could have been on the x-ray, it's not like those images were hard to see. I just won the lottery, not really anything to do with my personal abilities.

Okay, must sleep, now.
