I don't know, Cindy. I hang out with several of the concepts surrounding balance, and they don't say anything, but you just look at them sometimes, when people ignore them, and they just get this look, and kinda sigh.
'War Stories'
Spike's Bitches 28: For the Safety of Puppies...and Christmas!
[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.
Debet, you're not responsible for the concept's feelings -- you have to remember that. They're their own entities. You just need to be fair to yourself -- it's not like the concepts are looking after you.
Send them to Concept Thunderdome! Two concepts enter, one concept leaves!
You know, though? Those concepts really need to learn to speak up for themselves. Find your voice, concepts! Don't be a conceptual doormat forever!
But what about the concept of doormat-ery? Surely you can't expect it to behave otherwise!
eta: ita, I know. I just prefer to hang out with them. Most of the other concepts get rather tiresome after a while. And when you hang out with them enough, you start feeling for them when they're hurt.
Can't you just leave 15 out?
I suppose. But, somehow, because this is me, and I'm weird, that just feels wrong.

Huh, that exam was easier than I was expecting. I guess I should do dishes or clean my room or something now.
All right, maaaaaaaaybe the concepts' feelings might get a little tender, but they will not hold it against you, vw. Concepts are cool like that...except vengeance. Vengeance is a nasty little bugger (but totally hawt!!!).
vw, start writing, but put in an email or phone call or whatever to contact the prof and ask him if he prefers you to give short shift to your long list by culling the (extra) 15, or short shift to the formula he has given by covering your whole 35 with more brevity.
Why he would want to read a classful of 20 page papers I can't imagine.
Alpha-bits?
I'd guess either bachelor-like he has no thermometer or thrifty-like he has a glass mercury thermometer of the sort that I can only read on the third tuesday of months in which both Venus and Mercury are retrograde during a new moon at low tide, and I have new glasses.
That broke. I planned to get digital one at Big Lots so many times....
I'd have put money on the mercury. heh.
