Anya ,'Bring On The Night'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
This is really stupid, but I always feel like an adult when I'm traveling, and (a) get off the plane (/bus/whatever) in a place where I don't live, and make my own way to where I'm going, or (b) get off the plane (/bus/whatever) in the place where I do live, make my own way home, let myself in, get the mail, etc.
That's a good one too.
Jesse, nothing matching is a valid design choice.
Arguing with AT&T about your cable bill. Voluntarily flipping your mattress. Eating cake for dinner because you can. Nobody taking care of your problems for you.
I like this definition. As a non-parent, non-homeowner with an apartment full of second-hand furniture I'm kind of lacking in much of the other stuff.
Hivemind help, please? I'm blanking.
In Roman Holiday, Hepburn and Peck go to a wall (cave?) where you can put your hand inside. What's that place called? I am drawing a complete blank.
I have matching luggage, but mostly because I bought it on Overstock and all three pieces cost me $28 more than a single piece at Target.
I only own three forks.
I can never have a dinner party.
Sure you can. Just make it BYOB&F.
What trappings define adulthood for you guys?
401K and insurance payments. Not having it assumed I'll be going to my parents' for Christmas. Taking a nap whenever I want to. Going to a job that I often can't stand because if I didn't, [I']d be out in the street.
I've also officially commited myself to applying for the MLS program at Illinois (Internet version of the program) by asking my boss for a reference. Double eeep!!
YAY! Another one of us!
I was just looking at the MLS program requirements, and am very relieved that some of them have changed from the first time I applied to the program (about 12 years ago)--no GRE (if the undergrad GPA is sufficiently high), and no letter of recommendation from a teacher (it's been 18 years since I got my BA; I doubt very much any of those teachers remember me well enough to give me an accurate rec).
I've got my current boss for one rec, and will be contacting my former boss at the library in Channahon for another.
Hivemind question: Is it too much overkill if I use another supervisor from that same library for my third rec, or should I go for a more diverse base and use a non-library friend?

Yay, Kathy!!! I am so glad you're doing that! I know you've been wanting to for a long time.

ETA: x-posty!
That's it! Thank you, sj and Kristen!
I have art and first editions. They're not particularly valuable, but they are art and first editions. I'm a museum member. I bought antique furniture in high school with my allowance. I bought my first house when I was 23. My father was the only child in a whole family. Sadly, none of then had any money, but they all had sets and sets of china and silver. I therefore have all the china and silver I could possibly want. The set from my grandmother even includes cream soups. I have a lawn mower, a small tiller, a chain saw, a circular saw, a jigsaw, a cordless drill, a palm sander and a home equity loan. I have a 401K.
I still don't feel like an adult. Maybe it's the lack of matching luggage.
