We follow giant footprints as we fall

[clevermanka]

I am an unabashed wearer (and lover) of granny panties. So this blog post on Gertie's New Blog for Better Sewing made me happy. I've always thought there was something charming about big panties. Not to mention they're comfortable, cover my (substantial) bottom, and don't ride up. I've never had a single sex partner snicker when they saw them (Bridget Jones can go stuff herself). If they had, I would've been out the door before I could put my pants back on. Anyway. Granny panty love. I thought I'd share.

Last night the Student Union was double-booked with the Pluto event in the Ballroom and Dan Savage in Woodruff Auditorium. I attended the Pluto one, but I did get to see Dan Savage. I was waiting for mckitterick in the stairwell's mezzanine and resting my elbows on this little ledge that looks down on the staircase. After a while I got bored and tired and took a step backwards to stretch and walk around a bit. I didn't look where I was going and pretty much ran smack into Dan Savage who was rounding the corner of the mezzanine from descending the flight of stairs above. Oops.

He's much taller than I expected. I don't know why I imagined he was short.

More exciting, though, I finally got a photo of me with Steve Hawley, Astronaut.



Stupid blurry picture taking camera, though. =( I am really not liking this camera. I want to find another Kodak Easy Share.

The speaker for the Pluto event, author Michael Byers, was great. He talked about his book, obviously, but did it in a way that emphasized the creative process and how projects and goals can shift while you're working on them. It was a funny and engaging lecture and could've gone on for another hour or so, as far as I was concerned. It's really too bad that none of the KU creative writing faculty (except for mckitterick) were there.

I do like higher waists on my panties. What a great blog link -- thank you!

Happy reading!

Yeah, Plutonian granny panties! Wait...Dan Savage wasn't the point of this post?! Yer day yesterday sounds neato, and the picture looks great as it's sized in the post. Wahoo!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I am totally calling them Plutonian Panties from now on.

[adamposadas.livejournal.com]

Wearing Plutonian Panties, you can act as a psychopomp without all the circumstance!

This comment wins the internet today. ;)

I made it to the Underworld and all I got were these awesome panties?!

Hey look, today I won the Internet! I've always wanted another one :D

Win.

My mum refers to hers as wrist breakers. :)

I've yet to find the perfect pair, I have a reeally high hipline and a slight bubble butt, but I'm narrow hipped.
Yah, I know, make a pattern and make my own. Seems like a lot of trouble for something I don't wear much.

Haha! Yes.

I've always worn hi-cut-leg briefs. I do also have a few boy-cut or hipsters, but for the most part, it's been hi-cuts since I was a teenager. I can't stand G-strings, bikinis, thongs, any of that shit. I've got too much of a tummy for any of those to rest comfortably in my smoosh.

*fistbump*

I have to wear super low bikini-cut panties when I'm bellydancing. I hate them.

HOORAY FOR GRANNY PANTIES!

My favorite! ♥

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Solidarity sister!

high cut briefs, I second that and I will never understand why someone would want to wear undies that could saw them in half.

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Comfy undies, fo' sho'.

Which isn't anything to do with this post, other than the picture, but still - first thing I thought!

I like granny panties, too, although I'm more frequently commando over all. I also like men's boxer briefs for the same reason. When I was much thinner, then I more frequently wore boy-cut pretty frequently but I was also wearing pretty low-rise pants most of the time so anything larger would have been too high.

=D

But all evens out in the end. I have great hair and an incurable autoimmune disease. So....

you MET an astronaut!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I did! He's actually a professor here (http://www.news.ku.edu/2008/february/27/astronaut.shtml). Pretty awesome.

Edit: and to be perfect honest, I didn't really meet him. I saw him headed toward the men's room and then lay in wait for him to walk out of it.

*cough*

[belluthien.livejournal.com]

Heheh. =)
You're making me giggle.

[saffronhare.livejournal.com]

He looks so very present in that photograph. And you're all, hey, ASTRONAUT. :)

[e4q.livejournal.com]

hahahahaha!!!!

i would have, too. he's been a space man! like buzz lightyear!

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

I know!!! I'm happy to see other people get it. I mean...he's been in space. IN SPACE.

[adamposadas.livejournal.com]

I just read this and it kinda got me down, but it also made me think of you and this post

[clevermanka.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I don't even want to get into the anger this paragraph caused me:

"So when the Obama family heads to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida this week to sit with Gabrielle Giffords, the injured Arizona congresswoman, as she watches her husband, Capt. Mark E. Kelly of the Navy, take off for the International Space Station, it will be one of the last spectacles of its kind for a while."

Nice multi-faceted PR spot for the guy who canceled the program.
