Random thoughts on dates and body hair

   I really hope that the people I date, and I'm talking about men in particular here, realise just how much energy I put into primping and preparing for said dates. Because if they don't - they should, and if they do - thank you for your appreciation, it's duly noted and taken into consideration.
   I don't shave my legs for just anything. Or anyone.
   Usually you can tell how long it's been between dates by measuring the length of my leg hairs.
   And now I have a cold.

HAPPY HOBBIT DAY

   Today I'm celebrating my 31st birthday (though I was actually born on the 18th) and I've invited a few nerd friends over to eat and play board games with me. My partners are here to help with all the preparations, and we're going to be joined by my family members, and my best and closest friends a little later.

   In two years time I'll be an adult hobbit. And that's when the big party'll start for real.
