• @1ofyourmeteors Ah, followed. Well, what day was today??
  
• I keep trying to "retweet" or "reblog" things on Facebook.
  
• derby equipment - I’ve spent about three hours over the last two days, and probably the equivalent of... http://tumblr.com/xm21hedrt7
  
• I know it's a cliche, but LACK OF PLANNING ON YOUR PART DOES NOT CONSTITUTE AN EMERGENCY ON MINE SO FUCK THE FUCK OFF.
  
• RT @MayorEmanuel: Dear coffee, you are the motherfucking greatest of all of mankind's inventions.

• @jvfriedman @zobar2 Well... he's here, he doesn't have to imagine.
  
• @high_hopes I would not have seen it if I hadn't gone looking for it to find out what you were talking about. Um, yeah, it's inappropriate.
  
• @high_hopes Like, I'm not a fan of panty-bunching, but that's justifiably just super-icky, and also not particularly funny or clever.
  
• @high_hopes stuff like that just makes me feel kinda gross, like I need a shower on the inside. I hate feeling embarrassed *for* someone.
  
• @amberhayward I didn't know I was the fancy version of me!
  
• @zobar2 AWWWW I'm taking that as a compliment even if you didn't mean it that way.
  
• whoa i just napped so hard I drooled on the cat. Wild Friday evening.

hello

I am drinking hot cocoa with a lot of Grand Marnier in it. I have a seam ripper and a partially dismantled bra, which the smudged tag assures me is some flavor of DD, in my lap. One of the underwires came out on its own, and I decided the bra, which is too large in the band and about six sizes too small in the cup, is not salvageable, so I am cannibalizing it for parts. I measured the bits and sketched out the pattern pieces of one of the 2 bras I own that fit me, which is sadly worn (I obtained it in London. Was that 2008? buschibaby, when did you get married? That's the last time I bought myself bras) and somewhat stretched out. Of course, a probably-38-DD underwire is not the same size as a 32J underwire. I measured, it's about three inches shorter. So I'd have to adapt the pattern. It fits around my boob, it just isn't as long. (The curve is nearly the same. That's weird.) I'm not much for patterns; I'm really not that good a seamstress. But I'm a little desperate.
(Torrid is taunting me with a $25 bra sale. Band starts at 40. Cups end at DDD. Fuck you. Cacique's are 50%-off-the-second-bra, as often is the case, but bands start at 38; I can get big enough cups but chopping six inches out of the band does not give a comfortable end result, no matter how I try. Fuck you too!)

We'll see. I don't have any powernet, which is the normal thing to make bras with. I have linen. And maybe I'll make the band from an old t-shirt or something. I really don't know. It will have slightly rusted hooks, and the gold coating has worn off the strap sliders. I may re-use the old elastic from this something-DD bra, which must date to the 90s, I don't remember... The elastic's not bad, it's the underwire casing and the powernet of the band.

This bra *never* fit, and still I wore it until it fell apart. That's fucking ridiculous.

I'm making an attempt at cross-posting this to LJ and Tumblr, so we'll see how that goes.
