Scarlet - I find Ts scary too.... and am really surprised that they don't believe or understand that! Crazy, isn't it? I think I've only had one T that actually *got* it, and said to me, "You seem to be terrified right now, though I don't know what you're scared of!" Ha - YOU T! You are SCARY!

Hopefully she gets less scary as you get to know her better! I don't know what to say about the religious stuff, as I'm not religious either... so you know && that she behaves appropriately by not going nutty on you!

Kraken! Aha! A thumb squeeze in its own hand! Delightful! Thanks for sharing that, I had never heard of it - how cool! I'd definitely recommend the "@" sign for that! It's *perfect* isn't it? With the "a" inside looking like a thumb, all squeezed in the circle?

I'm feeling like I must have missed some sort of a calling here... but for the life of me, I can't figure out how to map random characters to physical symbols across cultures could possibly translate to a career path

Edit: Is it weird that the thumb squeeze thing immediately think of jelly doughnuts (which I have not eaten in *decades*!? You know, the thumb is like a puddle of jelly, the hand is the doughnut, and where the thumb attaches to the hand is that hole where the jelly always wants to escape when you bite into it? Maybe my brain is just being crazy today!
