  I never realized how weak your ring finger is. It's surprisingly difficult to move it without moving your pinky or index finger. Curt (my guitar teacher) says that's why people put their wedding rings on that finger -- it's the only codependent finger. Oh, Curt. P Diddy went to my school! Stitt, the middle school I used to teach at, is one of the schools that will be benefitting from the proceeds of urlLink Puffy's charity run .
He came by to visit and everything, MTV camera crews in tow. My friend Maddie and her class are going to be in the MTV special about Diddy's magnanimity. I bet the kids were a lot more excited than they were when Henry Kissinger came last year. Megan and I have been talking a lot about our respective approaches to guys.
She's trying to talk me out of my aversion to having the moves put on me. I can't help it -- every time it seems like a guy is bustin' out a well-honed line, I'm filled with disdain and a desire to prove to him that I am unlike other girls by demonstrating that lines don't work on me. Last night, I discovered Megan's parallel pet peeve. I was talking to Greta, and she was telling me about the compliments her lesbian friends have used to try and hit on her. I was oohing and aahing, because some of them were pretty sweet, but Megan, overhearing this, started diatribing about how easily taken in girls are by compliments. When a guy compliments her, she takes it as a sign that he's a clever and dangerous adversary, and immediately hoists her emotional drawbridge. Whereas when someone compliments me, I'm all, "That's SO true! You must be very observant. Come over here and sit next to me.
" Anyway, I think Megan and I just have slightly different versions of the same hangup. I can't decide if this is (more) evidence that the two of us are smarter than the average she-bear or (further) proof that we're too suspicious of people. Probably both. Strange and complex women, Megan and I are. Right now I'm tickled by: The new urlLink Gilmore Girls recaplet , in which Pamie laments, "Dammit. I wanted some Rodin in the hizzy. " Sounds like something urlLink Steve would say. Right now I love: The urlLink Stars Hollow Town Troubadour . Thanks, Jamie.
