Hair go pouf

[rinue]

It has gotten cold again, which is preventing me from wearing my cute new jacket. Ciro has offered various stopgap solutions whereby I wriggle around and get warm on my own, and the wearing of the jacket is incidental, but I think these are less an attempt to solve the underlying problem and more a new method Ciro has found of amusing himself.

I have instead had to fall back on my heavy winter coat, which is lined with lambswool. The physics students in the audience will recognize lambswool as one of the things you rub rods with to make them build up an electrostatic charge. I, Romie, am in this case acting as the rod. When I get home, I have to press up against the metal refrigerator and discharge myself before attempting to hug anyone. Otherwise... ow.

how do you feel about courtney?

i think my even asking that question probably reveals a certain bias that i've developed in an anti-courtney direction, and while that is probably true, i also would like for it not to be, but i'm beginning to wonder whether that's inevitable, and whether it was always inevitable, as my sister and megan would probably claim, that she would break my heart and my trust as she may have finally done.

I really love the image of you shimmying around inside your coat and then releasing a frightening lightning bolt from your fingers. We'd call you "Romie, Fox of Thunder."
