since we missed a day,

and just to drag this down to streel level again (since my mind's usually in the gutter, and all this lofty abstraction makes it seem more giraffe-like)

I have never needed moisturizing lotion. And, actually, I hate the stuff—it doesn't ever sink into my skin; it frequently smells funny (if not actually bad); and I just can't really abide by having to rub squishy stuff all over my legs and arms (which, really, is why I get so badly sunburned) but lately, my legs actually kinda itch/hurt. And either it's a bad idea to buy razor blades in bulk at Costco when you only shave once a week, tops, and they sit in your closet for several years before you finally use them, or I'm actually going to have to buy some daily moisturizer (or pray that it actually starts raining in Seattle some time soon; or buy a humidifier; or something...).

Secondly, what's the protocol on answering e-mail from /months/ ago? I logged into an account I forgot I had today and there was a somewhat intriguing message from a stranger (who, actually, come to think of it, claimed to be answering an ad I'm pretty sure I didn't place) and I wrote back without thinking and then noticed that the "sent" date was really not that recent...

I consistently don't answer email for weeks or months at a time. I usually throw in an apology at the beginning, and if this were a friend, I'd think you were fine.

As it's a stranger, they will probably be confused and not remember the initial email.

Oh, and it was good to see you a few weeks ago!

See, this is me being bad at keeping up with sending out timely emails.

i've been going to the wrong hang-out spot all this time. you're talking over here and i've been at your other place, wondering, "where the hell is katie?"

i don't know anything about moisturizing lotion (i even copied your spelling) as i don't ever use the stuff, and i don't know anything about email protocol (i double checked my spelling against yours) as i just send and accept the consequences. but i am wondering, why self-deprecate parenthetically? just do it out in the open, i figure. i say this even if i happen to do the same thing (maybe hypocrisy really is what follows doubt). just my thoughts of meaning on the matter. also, minds in the gutter make me think of oscar wilde.
