Greetings, borgers. I am in Texas. I have been offline since Wednesday night. It is MADNESS! (er, the offlineness, not the Texas part).

Drag king convention: good for ego, bad for actually getting any play. Sigh. But fun two-stepping, good performing, bad "are you a LEZ?" from a bartender, good getting him fired, good making new friends, bad really wanting play and not getting any, bad making fool of self in front of ex, over ex.

And now to do some catch-up...

Lots of health and head ~ma for Suzi and Aimee! Poor dears.

Suzi, I hope the migraine goes away soon.

Aimee, I hope you feel better.

Go, meara!

Back from the grocery. So tired. In spite of having an afternoon nap, thanks to DH coming home early from work.

Feel better, Aimee and Suzi.

Someone send me schoolwork~ma so I can go snuggle up to the cute guy sleeping in the next room.

I probably shouldn't tell one of my fellow students that "To be or not to be" refers to suicide and is not about peer pressure, right? Note to self: Don't have a drink before responding to classmates next week.

sj, yes, yes you should. t /peer pressure

And "wherefore" means "why", not "where"

Why on earth shouldn't you tell him that? I mean, other than the fact that he/she should figure it out him/herself?

I don't remember much of the speech, but I do remember the bit about "To die, to sleep; to sleep perchance to dream. And in that sleep of death what dreams may come when we have shuffled off this mortal coil must give us pause." pretty much said "Hey, he's contemplating suicide" to me, even if I didn't get the "be" versus "not be" existential beginning.

Can I just add, Debet, that when I learned "wherefore" meant "why," it made that speech SO much more understandable? Only knowledge I remember from studying that play (which I hated, ever so much. Hamlet's a rather different story, though neither of them are Macbeth or Lear in my mind.)

Don't encourage me. I took two Shakespeare classes my first time around in college, and everytime I see an "inspirational" Shakespeare mug, or the like, I want to tell people, you know that was said by a fool or a villian or whatever the case is. I'm in a bad moood, I don't feel like doing school work, and Tara was right, the lack of good spelling on the internet is depressing.
