and Hil - quoted by name?!?!
Yep. And quoted saying things like:
He places his left hand on his chest. "I feel a lack of desire here and in my stomach," he says, and he is not smiling. "I have all this love to share and it's not what it used to be."
'Dear Diary, Today I was pompous and my sister was crazy.' 'Today, we were kidnapped by hill folk never to be seen again. It was the best day ever.'

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

On Buffy it really seemed like that cotton in the ears thing you can get from shock . . . but that whole episode of buffy was so good.

mmmm, I think Hil is right, stuff is treated like a singular noun.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
"Stuff" is a mass noun, like water. Gramatically it's treated as singular even though it refers to a bunch of...stuff.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hil, I'm skeeved out on your behalf.
Grammar is so interesting.
TAR was so exciting! I'm glad that none of the last four teams were horrible, even the ones that aren't my favorite, you know? I like just watching the race, and not hoping any of them die. Also, MONKEY.

Thanks for all the grammar explanations, everybody.
Jesse, when is your semester supposed to end? (sorry, I have no idea. And it is your last one, so you'll be all finished when it's done, right?)

Yep, I'm done done done next Monday. Eek! But I think I ODed on stress already, so now I can't seem to care anymore.

Is it OK if I like the way you described the situation?
Also, do you have lots of work left before Monday?
Also also, Go you!

Thanks! I have some significant work to do on two different papers (one big and one little), but they are both in decent shape. So I'm going to head to school this afternoon in the hopes of doing some really focused work.
