		<title>the one thing I know</title>
		<description><![CDATA[&#8230;is that I like spreadsheets, organization, and Kate Miller-Heidke. Just got done making a spreadsheet that shows the titles of the songs from which I&#8217;ve pulled titles, the songs in the official canon I haven&#8217;t used yet, the songs that are official or semi-official canon but are covers, and the demos which have any sort [...]]]></description>

		<title>I thought we talked this over yesterday</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My attention span is currently at a level I would describe as &#8220;kitten.&#8221; I&#8217;ve known for a long time that my attention is directly correlated to the interestingness of the material&#8211;this isn&#8217;t unusual for kids identified as gifted (nor the adults they grow into), or anyone on the spectrum. In fact, it was this extreme [...]]]></description>

		<title>no going back</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Damn. I missed Autistic Pride Day, due to the fact that I was driving back from a visit to Staunton and Stina and Dylan, and then there was family and small children here. So, thanks to stark. raving. mad. mommy&#8216;s post about it, I&#8217;ve been inspired to do my own top ten list. The top [...]]]></description>

		<title>we&#039;ve got such important things to do</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Even Blogging Against Disablism Day can&#8217;t stop the Kate lyrics. To paraphrase Stina: either words have meaning or they don&#8217;t. Let me flesh that out for you a little bit. I believe that words are impactful, and that our word choices reflect a combination of our backgrounds, our individual lives, and our education on a [...]]]></description>

		<title>when the work was done</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This post has multiple topics because I am too lazy to make multiple posts. 1. I run google analytics on this website. I promise, I&#8217;m not tracking you down at all, my meagre readers, but I generally find it entertaining. Originally, I got analytics because I wanted to use it with etsy, and as an [...]]]></description>

		<title>and you think you&#039;re pretty cool</title>

		<title>I think you would&#039;ve been crap at hunting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is a long lead-up, but it&#8217;s probably worthwhile. The combined topical drift and pedantry is also pretty indicative of what it&#8217;s like to live in my head. So last week I lost my star on Jezebel. Jez is a Gawker Media website, and uses a tiered commenting system; commenters with stars by their names [...]]]></description>

		<title>white clouds of comfort</title>
		<description><![CDATA[April is Autism Awareness Month. Some of the hub bloggers have pointed out that awarness is only a baseline&#8211;yes, in some cases we do need to make people simply aware of autism and the broader neurodiversity of which it is a part. But in many or even most cases, awarness is not acceptance; it provides [...]]]></description>

I was on the road by 7, headed north. View Directions to Staunton, VA in a larger map The top line, where they split, was my route going to [...]]]></description>
