And it made me wonder, do other people feel guilty, or have other people get mad at them, for being smart?
Yep.
Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?

[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.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I'd get that sometimes in high school, but not much since then.
Gronk. I'm exhausted. Didn't get much sleep last night, and then spent most of today doing research (which got me absolutely nowhere), and then went to pick up my new glasses, which actually is just about six blocks each way, but I just felt like I was about to collapse by the time I got home.

"You think you're better than we are 'cause you're so smart!"
Well, yes, but I didn't admit it.
Suh-nerk.
and this is at Master's level
Okay, so not such an oddity, apparently.
To own up, maybe part of my guilt is that I actually have really awful study habits, but I test really well. But hey, if I studied more than just the night before (almost impossible to do in the "one class a month" school format), I'd blow the "curve" or whatever even worse, right?

In other "I love my brother so goddamn much" news, he still remembers what we named our shillelagh in Beyond Zork over a decade ago. I don't even think I remembered that, just that we couldn't pronounce "shillelagh" and basically called it a "shillelelay." Our relationship is almost entirely based on computer and video game in-jokes.

“Not dead yet!”
Exactly. I thought that at College, especially one geared to "Working Adults" that we'd all be, I dunno, grownups?
BWAH!
Um... sorry. Not helping. But lately, I swear it seems as if reasonable expectations for maturity is asking a bit much.

glares at Barb's idiot crew I get that people get caught up finishing other jobs, but communication is easy enough.
Oh, and they finally showed. At 5:35. In a way, the worst part is that the work they had to do today? Very short and to the point. They could have easily done it earlier and not eaten MY ENTIRE DAY!

Then I went over to the mall for a bit of Retail Therapy, and thought of you, Steph. [link]
That's so cute!

You got damn close. (Shi-lay-lee.)

Preach it, Sistah.

Is it wrong that I find this adorable and want to take Wee P-C and Wee Bro to Gaelic class just to charm and amuse everyone?

How is "lagh" pronounced "lee"? Come on now.

How is it that "draught" translates to "draft"?
