Spike's Bitches 25 to Life
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What is even happening?
Yay and good luck, GC. I thought I said that before, but apparently I only said it in my head, where the other imaginary people live.
Now I'm wondering if I told either Sail or lisah how smoking their hair-dos look on them. Just in case I didn't? Smokin'!

It was, er, $1099 and I think it was like 8 weeks? If your company will pick up the tab (which was the situation in my case) I recommend it.
Though I had to buy myself a cookie as a pre-emptive reward for the Math sessions.

Good luck, GC! I took the GRE cold a few years ago (out of college for 10+ years) and, while I scored up there with the top 40% of 4th-graders on the math, the other two sections were easy. Don't sweat it!
(Unless you have to do well on the math)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds very promising, P-C!
GC, I picked up one of those Kaplan or Princeton Review (I forget which) books for the GMAT and it was very helpful. Hints for studying practice tests, tips for actually taking the test. I don't know if it raised my score any, but it made me a LOT less nervous about taking it.

For anyone who is interested, a picture of the tornado that hit Stoughton, WI last night. Taken by a coworker's daughter looking south over Lake Waubesa.
For even more fun, a map of the location of my condo (red star) and it's location relative to the lake (just right of the red star.)
The tornado was originally spotted over by Fish Hatchery road (runs N-S to the left of the red star.) It was heading towards Monona (just right and up a little from the star.) While I'm terribly sorry there was quite a bit of damage to the Stoughton area, I'm very glad the tornado did not stay on it's original projected course.
Also, yay! for GC. Go get 'em!
ETA: You have to zoom the map out to the "city" level to see what I'm describing. Sorry.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I know, doesn't it? I'm scared this whole endeavor is going to blow up in my face. The chickens are going to turn out to be MUTANT KILLER OCTOPI.

Thanks for the tips and encouragement, y'alls.

One of my favorite sentences I've ever written was in a diary entry where I was describing a night at an Italian restaurant. It comes at the end:
Jonathan suggested the fried calamari, and it was ordered. It arrived.
It looked like onion rings. Onion rings and baby octopi. I don't eat meat besides poultry. It was originally for pseudo-religious reasons, but now that I'm not that religious, it's mostly out of habit.
But after a while, I wanted to try some. It couldn't hurt, right? I debated endlessly. It was also a test of willpower. Could I resist the urge to try it? It was me vs. the squid. It was the squid vs. me.
"Eat me," it said. "Eeeeeeaaaaaaaat me."
"No," I replied. "I don't eat squid."
"But I'm soooooo tasty. Everyone else is enjoying me. I'm fun to eat."
"I will resist your cephalopodian wiles."
