Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

[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.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

But I want it NOOOOOW!!!

I know. But put yourself in your potential future employer's shoes. I know when I was on the receiving end of a job search, I always hated job seekers who were pushy and pesky with calling and emailing. And anything beyond maybe one call or email several days after they applied to confirm their application was received qualified.

Mostly lurking...

Nevermind, Hec. I've gotta go...

There will be pictures later. This better be a GOOD cut!

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I am in the middle of fielding resumes for three different positions, and those who are pushy and call or email more than once come across as not trusting my judgment or the fact that their own resume and cover letter should speak for them without needing any "help".

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I am so proud of myself right now. I just took my 2nd practice GRE test and I went up a total of 300 points!!! My scores are now above average (not hugely above, but still above) and I have 3 GRE classes and 2.5 weeks of more studying before I take the actual test. I feel like a bunch of stress just lifted and floated away.

I’m responsible for my own happiness? I can’t even be responsible for my own breakfast! (Bojack Horseman)

isn't that the best feeling GC?

I took a practive test about 2 or 3 days before my actual test and was happy about that score, which is good, because I scored exactly the same on the test itself...

Back tattoos of the mother is that you are absolutely right - Ame

I'm back. I'll live.

I love my small hospital - in and out and back at work in just about an hour.

They cleaned and glued the ear wound (holy @$*&#%&# ouch), gave me a tetanus shot, and a prescription for antibiotics.

Wheeeeeeeeeeee!

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

Whew, glad to hear you're okay, Suzi, and that it wasn't a long wait. Sorry for the ouchies. (Glued your ear? Ouch!)

I just got to talk to my little sister, with whom I haven't spoken in several months. It was so nice. She's doing really well (this is the one who is a recovering crack addict/alcoholic). She's living near my and her boyfriend's parents and they're both working and they have a little house they love. It's great to hear her happy and normal sounding.

It certainly is :) Are you in grad school now or starting in the fall? If you're in now, how's it going? Are you liking it? Is it crazy hard?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I'm all about "Well, I don't have a sense of humour about that, anyway." There's shit you can rib me on until the cow's come home, and there's shit that if I've already told you is raw territory, I can do nothing but assume you're now deliberately trying to piss me off, or just don't care enough to pay attention to who you're talking to.
