Image for banner created by mollycrabapple. Love, hugs, and as many nipple pasties as she wishes for letting me use her gorgeous artwork! You don't need to credit me for adding some words to the drawing, but if you want to use my banner, credit Molly Crabapple or there will be criminals after you.

This isn't really a measure to keep people out so much as a way to tell people that memes and silly articles aren't all there is to me. More personal, perhaps even interesting stuff is kept under wraps. Don't worry, you don't need to prove your mettle in battle or give me evidence of your Nobel Prize in physics. Friend me and I'll friend you back!

I just got word that Sena Jun announced her retirement. No news outlets have picked up on it yet as far as I can tell, but look for it soon.

EDIT, 5:08: There's also the, um, official website, which is, on occasion, useful. *headdesk*

Megan McArdle is getting married. Please encourage her to have oodles of children so that the world sees a sudden influx of gorgeous, intelligent people.

Which is why I'm not being too active. Sorry about that. Anyone have uplifting links/stories? I would appreciate it.

From DoubleX, on what famous women wanted to be when they grew up:

Judith Martin, Miss Manners

One day when I was a little girl with blonde ringlets, my father said, "I can picture you as an old lady, wearing high collars and a bun and tyrannizing over future generations."

And I thought to myself, "My daddy understands me."

There's a cat meowing piteously on the street. I don't have any food for him like I did last time he came.

XD

You learn to love it, but it takes a while.

Ticket Pia vs. Lawson: which offer better seats? For once I find myself having to choose, since previously I just used Lawson out of laziness. Is there an appreciable difference in the quality of the seats between the two? Quality meaning, of course, the shortest distance possible between oneself and the stage.
