No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

Relatedly, and I'm ashamed to ask this, who is Theresa Anderson? It's not bon bon, is it? Because I thought she had a different first name.

How about Dianne Cameron? I thought the only Atlanta buffistas were bicyclops and Ginger.

Man, you think you know people...

...and then you remember that they're essentially Internet phantoms you may never have met in real life who got together to talk about a TV show and then stuck around.

...and then you wonder if you live in a Golden Age, or if you should go outside more often.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Diane Cameron is a Bronzer - I don't think she's ever posted here.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Okay good, I don't feel so bad for not recognizing her.

Sorry, I got mixed up about Diane Cameron.

It's the having 7 finals and three end-of-semester papers to do, and something like 20 days to do the exams.

I think the statute of limitations has passed, so I'll admit that I did a number of papers for which I started the research 24 hours before the paper was due. I remember a Women's Studies paper that got an A- and a question from the professor about why I had only used 19th century sources. I did not tell her it was because those were the only sources I could check out at 9 the previous night, when I started the paper. Oh, how I wish there had been the internets back then, not to mention computers. Those papers were all written on a portable manual typewriter.

I am on day two of "everything hurts, slight fever, queasy stomach." Make it go away.

eta: As far as I know, bicyclops and I are it in the Atlanta area.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

The wedding vows included a vow to allow god to determine the number of children they have.

Oh the Duggars! Does not breast feeding so you can have a baby again ASAP count as allowing god to decide? Hmmm?

My favorite part of that logic, however, is that if you consider god an almighty creator just how would you take that choice AWAY from god? Create the world in seven days, a snap. Birth control pills? COMPLETELY AT A LOSS.

Feel better quickly, Ginger.

my sop as an undergrad. I wish I could tell my teen friends that it is a bad plan, but it usually worked out well.

The adrenaline rush of absolute need helps some people to focus. That's at least part of the reason why a lot of folks with AD/HD (inattentive or otherwise) seem to thrive on procrastination.

One will note that I've been diagnosed with ADHD in the last few years.

By those standards, I've worked with several aliens.
