You are a lucky, lucky man, Drew.
I, for one, wasn't looking forward to starting my day with a slaughter. Which, really, just goes to show how much I've grown

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Fucking hell - the plumber who's installing my new faucets is NOT costing $125 plus parts as I was told on the phone. The cost for installing 2 faucets is $175. EACH. Fuck fuck fuck FUCK.

Oh, I HATE that. I've started getting quotes in writing because of that shit.

The problem is that the girl who answers the phones at our plumber's office is an idiot. This isn't the first time we've had this problem.
He was also supposed to be here at 9am and showed up at 10:30, but at least they called in the morning to warn me about that. He'd just better be done by the time I have to leave for my doctor's appointment.

Drew, I hope travel is much smoother and less stressful today.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Being single in LA is just seriously shitty. Nobody that I'm interested in is ever single. I hate dating in this town. The only reason it's less shitty than dating was in Ann Arbor is because I had already been rejected by every single woman in Ann Arbor. At least out here there are women who haven't had a chance to reject me.
Sean, are you coming to the F2F? I forget. 'Cause if you are, we are SO doing tequila shots, and bitching about singledom, and playing one-upmanship about the dearth of potential partners. (And I will win this game, because I am a shy, geeky white chick of excessively Rubensian build, in my thirties and living in Thailand. It's like a Royal Flush of Crapitude, when it comes to getting chatted up.)

Punishingly Intricate
And while I appreciate the love and support of my friends, I do not believe for a second that "it will happen," because the world just doesn't work like that.
Well, I wouldn't say that anything "will" happen because I'm not a fortune teller but I will say that you never know what will happen. Signed, Single for YEARS and, as of this weekend, living with someone I met through friends.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
As for the grade, can you chat up the Professor? Save the "5 points to get into HUJI" for last, but rather approach from a scholarly point of view. Talk with him/her about the research, and why you approached the topic as you did. If s/he is in agreement, if you sway them, then say "well, I really need a better grade to get into HUJI, is there a chance to elevate that grade". Just a thought. I'm sure those that work in academia can give better advice. It's not uncommon for students to ask for higher grades (as we've heard in here), but maybe taking the scholarly approach first, rather than the begging approach, might help you stand out as more worthy.
Nah. I'm not begging/bargaining to get better grades (which I think, if I'll try, can get me into SoH too). It's not something I'll do. I learned the lesson. Will know better next time. C'est tout.

You're coming to F2F, Fay?
Dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit, dammit.
That is to say, no. No I will not be at F2F. But we can share a shot virtually in the same time zone next weekend.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Now, who's responsible for that that I can't stop humming and whistling the Dixie anthem all day long?
I'm passing by some history professors here, you know. That might be dangerous. They might wanna start up a conversation, and all I know about it is "Oh, that was in Gone With the Wind". And The Afghan Whigs loves to sing it from time to time, too".
So, yeah.
