QUACKS!
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

Spike's Bitches 42: Which question do you want me to answer first?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Good lord. I'm suddenly amazed that I made it through my ADD evaluation without encountering any galloping sexism.

I've been thinking about seeing a talky meat person, but I'm afraid of who I'll get in this bastion of "married at 19, three kids by 25". I don't know if anyone around here has the frame of reference to cope with me.

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
Susan W, I need to go on a course like that I think. I'm supposed to be writing a musical puppet show right now. Instead I'm on the interwebs wasting time. It's terrifying.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Yeppers.
Hil, omg. I boggle and @@.
My sis had had a bad experience with the same doc years earlier, though no one remembers exactly what happened.
I love my talky meat therapist. He looks and talks just like Clinton from What Not to Wear, if he were a therapist.
Most unprofessional doc I ever had? A GP who tried to sell me makeup 30 sec after (SERIOUS TMI) her finger was up my, uh, butt. And I was very much in my soft butch "I don't *wear* makeup" stage. This is the same dimwit who years later refused to perform STI tests on my sis and sent her to County Health. Unethical cretin.
haha whoops. spoiler font only works if you actually type the s.

Holy crap! Those are some INSANE dr. stories!
I am taking a short break from syllabi creation. I am pulling the yearbook and newspaper syllabi (a) from the internet and (b) my ass.
God, how much did I sleep yesterday?! From about 10 pm to 12:45pm Sat, and then from 10pm to 10am today. Over 24 hours, and I feel so much better, and my skin doesn't look like ass. I feel actually functional today.
Barb, your breakfast description is making my salivate. I've had coffee and cigs today (breakfast of insane champions!) and I need to go to the store and to Wal-mart to get groceries and some school stuff. Also, hair dye to get rid of my stripe. Woo.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Goggling at the bad doctors.

Hey Erin, apparently I'm slated to teach newspaper this year. What's on your syllabus?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Connie, there has to be a doc around there who doesn't buy into the whole mindset. It might take some trying, but i am sure they are out there--and will probably love having you as a patient!

Kat, thanks god!
Basically, at this point, it's a course descriptor, and some stuff about grading, which I might make more vague, since I swiped it from the net, and I might need to fl by the seat of my skirt.
There's never been a newspaper, and I've never taught it, so I will be really about a week ahead of my students. I am glad my writing and editing teaching skills are strong.
I would be more than happy to exchange syllabi roughs with you, and ideas and problems. The fact that you are also doing NP this year makes me very happy. Have you taught it before?
