I blush to admit how badly I did on Guess That Friend.
eor was doing it, and I just had to, it looked like fun. He guessed 24 of the 25 people on his list correctly - he really reads his f-list. He cares. And apparently, I don't. (Although some of you are inundated with my comments to a mad stalker extent - you know who you are.) It's not at all fair that people read my journal and comment on things (though not much) and yet don't read his. It's probably not fair to the people I list on my f-list, and yet don't read, that I've got them listed. F-lists are a source of great angst, and should be abolished.
In other news - I was reading in a Smithsonian magazine that a book came out about women who disguised themselves as men and fought in the Civil War. Seemed a little odd you'd bother to write a book about something that seems so ... well known? But I don't know how old that edition of the Smithsonian was - the magazine table at the laundrymat often has things that are 30 old on it.
Now to make the grocery list. I want to get everything done so that I can make up my mind whether I want to go to King Richard's Faire tomorrow and walk around in the rain, or whether I'd rather stay home and drink lots of tea and be happy that I'm not wet. Also in favor of not going to the Faire - that's a three hour drive (each way) and I'll be dead tired on Monday. Normally I'd just be in baggage and able to be braindead with no problem, but this week I'm going to be in a class (getting trained on new techniques for work) so will need the brain to be in working order. Point in favor of going to the Faire would be getting to dress up in a totally non-period costume involving the 'lace' chainmaille skirt
eor made for me. (I'm sure purists like
barbarian_qulan hate those of us who like to dress up all dorky and don't make any effort to be in any period, but it's fun. :))
