our house, in the middle of our street

So this is Friday. I think my chicken-pox-like disease has gone away, though my chest still really itches. I guess maybe it was the sunburn. You know what that means? No more cleavage revealing shirts for me this summer. No way, not a chance.

Sister #2 is moving into her grown-up house today. Tomorrow I get to go experience all her grown-upedness. It’s weird. She owns a house. I feel like quite the immature teenager. I barely have furniture and she owns a house. Sister #3 has a house too and a baby on the way. It’s like their marriages, their kids and their houses make them immensely older than me. suddenly I am the kid sister, it feels so very strange.

The fastest cure from chicken pox I have seen in my life Have to rewrite the medical books on that one. A thought - does owning a house qualify for maturity??? (What is a “grown up” house anyway?)

a grown-up house is one that you buy, you get a fat loan, go into huge debt and you can do anything you want with it.

Things I Want to Tell You

Interview #2 at place I would enjoy working at went really well. I'm pretty pumped. [+]

Can I get an AMEN! This woman responds to the Jezebel Hullabaloo the way I wish I could have, had I not been blacking out with the rage. I agree that drinking a lot and having a lot of sex with different men is not feminism. It might be your lifestyle choice and a lot of fun -- go you, but it has nothing at all to do with being a feminist. I think once I simmer down a bit, I will chalk up the whole Hullabaloo to a few drunk 20something girls being stupid and naive, because, that's what 20something girls do. We've all done it, and not to get all sage woman of the earth, but something changes for women when they turn 30. I don't know what it is, I cannot define it, but other woman will agree 30 is a magical age where suddenly you seem more yourself, you think before you speak, you look back at your 20something self and realize what an idiot you were, but you still love that girl. I'm just hoping these Jezebel-girls will be so kind to their 20something selves when they look back at how absolutely foolish they were. {via fimoculous, whose comments are all men discussing the issue which makes me a little sad}. [+]

I had avoided the whole Jezebel hullabaloo until this morning when I was reading Mediation's thoughts on the nonsense. I followed his links to the Metafilter discussion and it was after watching the video there that I blacked out from sheer rage. I'm so angry I can't even write anything coherent. [+]

I just applied for a for reals job for the first time since 2000 (three fors in one sentence, go me). I feel a little like I'm going to barf. I forgot how nerve-wracking it is to want something like this. [+]

"Never mind that while he was on my ass about being in lust with a celebrity who lives in France and has two children with a French model, Greg was in love with a girl from, you know, like, down the street." Peabo cracks me up. [+]

I am celebrating my independence by sitting around in my pajamas until noon. [+]
