I'm just, uh, just feeling kinda... truthsome right now. And, uh... life's just too damn short for ifs and maybes.

Good one, Sparky! Thanks!

You're welcome. Also, is it wise to make a company the repository of these things? Companies come and go, universities last.

I'm just making this up while we're having catalog connectivity problems, so I'm cursing the technology at the moment.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Yay, blind date, vw! I'm partial to the idea because that is how I met TCG. Although, I really really really didn't want to meet him, so I can understand nervousness on your part.

ImemeN. My landlord is a bitca. They're showing our apartment at 8:30 Saturday morning. TCG has had a lousy week and really wanted to sleep in. Time to check apartments on Craigslist again.

Often, people pursue the field out of a desire to fix *themselves.*

(See: my not!ex. Except I think he wants to fix kid!him.)

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Oh heaven, yes. Do you know any? That's nearly like asking if one can be female and a woman at the same time.

Heh. Yeah, that was a rhetorical question.

Often, people pursue the field out of a desire to fix *themselves.*

Years ago I read that college psychology majors had a higher incidence of mental illness than average. But I didn't know if being a psych major drives one crazy or if potentially crazy people were attracted to the major.

I was fascinated by psychology in high school and college. I almost considered psych as a major but I figured I'd hate being a therapist. The 'psych majors are more likely to be crazy' thing might have influenced me as well.

sj, you and TCG should cook fish the night before. If the smell of cookies baking is supposed to help sell a place, then I say day-old-fish smell should repel them.

Always Anti-fascist!

If I had studied psychology, I think that would have been me. Also, dying to write up stuff confidentiality forbids. But what a loss to Quantico, huh? Damn you, Fourth Estate...damn you to hell. Although, actually, I'm more in the Fourth Guest House...the one they advertise for mothers-in-law and such.

Good idea! I'm not doing a big super cleaning again. I'll make the bed and straighten up a bit, but that's it. I just had my teeth drilled and I am not a morning person, so it's not happening.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

OK!! I have clarification!

It was her son that was wonky! Apparantly, in Northern Michigan, you get more "emo" cred if you are a cutter. His little girlfriend and her friends all brag about how much they cut and "Oh woe! I neeeeeed to feel paaaaaain to be Gothy and sad - like." Her son and his friends use the terms "cutter" and "emo" interchangably. I told her, "Nuh and Uh. Being a cutter has nothing to do with being Goth or Emo. It has everything to do with a) deep seated emotional issues or b) trying to get "cred". If she did it or talked to a Real Goth about it, they would send her running to a therapist and/or the hospital." She said, "Thanks. Good to know." I also said, "Here is my friend's website. True goth. You will learn things and give it to him."

Then she hung up the phone on me while screaming his name to "get his ass down here."

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

If anyone's interested, here's a link to the Marcum speech that led to the Google Book Search quote

I found that speech earlier, and thought it sounded like the one -- only it doesn't have that quote anywhere in it. Your prof should google more carefully before giving silly paper topics!
