"I love your t-shirt!"

The shirt in question: my gamer-girl shirt that Piet got me in Indianapolis.

YetAnotherFriendNamedJen and I then proceeded to chat about gaming, WoW, D&D, etc, for one circuit at Curves. I told her my lj handle and suggested she get an account and look me up.

Everybody wave! *waves* Hi, Newest Jen!

I smell a rat.

And not the six-foot kind, either. The nasty political kind.

Thanks dagoski for the link.

The commercial:

"Women who eat breakfast like the Special K breakfast way less."
