Okay, good thing I didn't pursue that teaching career.
Kaylee: So how many fell madly in love with you and wanted to take you away from all this? Inara: Just the one. I think I'm slipping.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
I just got an email-- atually my company's filtering software did-- from "allah@rr.com." We are truly living in a golden age.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Perhaps the mathy weren't rendered unconscious in less than three syllables, but I about fell out of my chair due to feeling stupidness.
I think I think like -t thinks. Or perhaps it was the cat example. Either way, that's the first time I understood anything involving vectors.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
righty-tighty, lefty-loosey
I figured out at an early age that tightening a screw was the same motion as throwing a right-handed curve ball.

Ginger, Terra?
Yep.
I still remember the cranial nerves from "Old Olsen Ought To Take A Fling At Greta's Vagina Some Homecoming."

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
msbelle is me, except I have been a semi-slacker, and I had jack in the box for lunch.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
I never needed the mnemonic. I didn't even need to memorize the planets - I just read about them (when I was six or seven) and knew them.
Tommyrot is me. From 4 until about 10 or so I was absolutely fascinated with both dinosaurs and astronomy.
Roy G. Biv is the way I learned the order of colors in the visible spectrum; never thought about it before it was presented in class in grade school.
But JenP is me in this case. Though I actually think I got it from a PBS program of some kind long before I was taught it in school. I remember taking art class in highschool and wondering why so many of my fellow students had trouble remembering what colors you had to mix to produce other colors.
And now discussing PBS and colors has earwormed me with the theme from Reading Rainbow.
"Always remember that there is 'a rat' in 'separate'!" I've never had problems spelling that word since.
I saw a flash card type thing where the word separate looked like it was broken apart with a giant "A" in the middle, which always springs into my head whenever I write the word.
And a friend's SIG was "People Can't Memorize Computer Industry Acronyms" for a while.
One of my favorites along those lines has always been System Cannot See It.

Afternoon chatter seems to be missing.
Huh.
