I have decided to cease to care and just let the sea take me.
Don't go into the light, Daisy Jane!

Ann, that's a ferret.
Parents writing papers? Mine would drive me to the library to do reasearch (though that ended when I got my driver's license). And if I had to interview an expert in something or other for a school assignment, they'd arrange for me to talk to a suitable friend or co-worker.
Once I got to college? Forget it.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Christ, will this day never end??
Mine did, rather abruptly, when I got sick and then went home.
Maybe that's not what you meant though.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Home from company holiday lunch.
Very full. Sleepy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You know, I have to say, while that sounds like the end of a work day, it does not sound like the end of a bad day. If you see the distinction.

I'm trying to decided whether to stay all day. I feel fine, but I feel like my occasional (albeit hacking) cough is not making anyone very happy--even though I have no other cold symptoms and am being extremely vigilant about not touching anything not in my cube and washing my hands constantly just in case.

The English Majors I've known would tear someone like that to shreads without as much as a second thought.
No kidding. Being able to structure a paper is the same skill as being able to give a talk, and for that matter it also employs the skill you need to analyze a passage orally in class. How is this kid getting by in her classes? And how has she managed to completely avoid any timed/no notes final exams?
My mother taught me how to write an English paper, when I was a junior in high school. 20 years later, when she was finishing her master's degree in history, I attempted (at her instigation) to edit a draft of her thesis; this proved to be a disastrous mistake. (She can dish it out, but boy, she can't take it!)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
O frabjous day! My loving and funny and sweet nephew, who was supposed to go into basic training for the Marines right after Christmas, failed his physical. He has a bad knee and they turned him down flat. He was devastated, but the rest of the family is overwhelmingly relieved.
