@generica My husband is an actual real live immigrant and doesn't get that, ever. People always assume he's Hawaiian or Samoan. Which is close enough, I guess.

@generica My husband is Filipino (with a smattering of Spanish and Chinese) and people say we look kinda similar. I think this is hilarious, because I can see it and it makes NO SENSE.

@generica All kinds of craziness, mostly shrouded in the mists of time. A significant portion Native American, with a little Scottish, Irish, German, and French thrown in. People always think I'm either a lighter-skinned Latina, or something Mediterranean (Greek, Italian, etc.)

I know this is absolutely nothing at all on the scale of oppression and injustice, but it's always messed with my head a little bit that everyone on TV and in Media that looks like me is Latina, and I am not.

Me this morning: *looks at phone, sees weather display* 62F and squiggles? *eventually goes outside* OH. Fog.

I started doing this because when my writing is bad, it's usually because there are way too many boring details. I don't want to forget what those details were, but I also don't want to get confused and think I meant to keep that paragraph either.

Does anybody else write something, read it back, realize it's awful, and instead of deleting it, type NO NOT LIKE THAT, add a couple more line breaks, and start again? Just me?

I have been informed that I am doing NaNoWriMo wrong because I'm not forcing myself to an arbitrary word count. Oh well, I guess I've failed again. 😂

I woke up with a splitting headache today so OF COURSE i end up stuck behind this pineapple with no muffler for about 15 miles.
I tried leaving 7-10 car lengths between us, but I could still hear every stroke of the engine, and nobody would get over in front of me.

Because I'm a weirdo who was born in the spring:
My birthday has never fallen on Palm Sunday in my lifetime, but it has fallen on Easter 3 times. It will fall on Good Friday for the first time the year I turn 50. I didn't really intend for this to be a riddle, but I suppose it could be, if anyone else out there is as bored as I am right now.

Liking the Pixel 2 a lot so far.

New phone who dis? (My Pixel 2 arrived today)

Even if the chances someone else will understand your note are higher.
