New person, hurrah

Keep thinking there is no need for new people in my life because there are plenty of really nifty people there already, yet every so often someone equally shiny turns up. aepalizage seems rather neat.

Sisterly things

Today I answered a call from someone after my sister, took their message. They asked who I was, I gave my legal name and they asked if I were her sister. Answered yes. This is considered reason for good cheer as everyone else who has suggested my voice sounds female is considered biased; even other callers asking if I am [mother's name] would be expecting her to answer as things are in her name. When people call for her boyfriend they ask if I am he too, matter of expectation.

For this to happen when the caller had no reason to gender me any particular was very happymaking. I do believe I am over my tenth grade music teacher suggesting I could sing bass, even if I did not know why it bothered me.

In other news, same sister has requested me to ask if anyone I know has any experiences with overlockers (apparently called sergers in the United States) they would like to share. She also mentioned cover stitches. Apparently she has a fair bit of information already and, so far as I can gather, is after personal experiences to help with her decision.
