Who thinks/thought this would be a good idea?
I should clarify that mine was known as the Meat Book by the returning students (who weren't supposed to get copies at all unless they were dorm supervisors, but some older students had a nasty tendency to cheat and steal in pursuit of young, naive tail). For the freshpersons, it was a sanity-saving reference book -- when you were already all flustered and discombobulated and in a state of semi-permanent panic over fitting in and remembering everything, it was hugely comforting to be able to go back to your room after a new class or orientation or party and reconfirm which face went with which name.
Pity the people who actually just get a passport picture and send that in-- what are they thinking?
At my college, more than the people who didn't send in a picture at all. The univ put in substitute photos. Of famous movie monsters.
My roommate, for example, was Frankenstein.
I went to a school of 700, there was no need for any kind of facebook.
I read somewhere that wedding night sex is not the norm. My best friend said she was just too tired to bother, and besids, she'd had sex with him for years beforehand.
There is a lot of this. My friend N. decided to have an afterparty in their hotel suite instead of sex since it was probably going to be the last time we were all in the same place at the same time. (Which turned out to be very accurate.) We had a lot of fun. Especially when she kept making her new husband carry her over the threshhold again and again.
I was at a wedding once where the bride did the bouquet toss. A space wide enough to drive a humvee through opened along its trajectory.
HA! At the same wedding, we had a similar incident. There were four of us who were single. When the bouquet came towards us, we all took a step back. It landed on the ground. N retossed it. Same thing. Finally, one of my fellow bridesmaids picked it up to hand back to the bride and we were all like, "Nope! You touched it. You're it."
Isn't there some sort of on-line facebook now?
How can it only be 3:30??? I do not see how I am going to make it to 6.
Well, that was easy. I just hear my students say things like "I'll just facebook him" all the time.
Why when I was in school, we didn't have email!
(Actually we had it as an option in senior year. You couldn't change the password and it was your first name or something like that. The thing was to hi-jack an email, and then send embarrassing love notes to professors from someone else's email!)
How can it only be 3:30??? I do not see how I am going to make it to 6.
How can it not even be 1:00 yet?
I am still trying to decide if I want to heat up my TJ's spinach lasagna, go to Jack in the Box, or get a chicken sandwich at the other place.
It's quitting time for me! :)
