Rojas is Alibelle. Who I don't have to bother on Facebook, as she is just down the hall. I can stick my head out of my office and look right into her doorway. Cool to have a Buffista right here, huh?
Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[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.
Okay, yeah, I thought so. Thanks, Scrappy.
Also, I am jealous of people who have Buffistas in person.
Me, too.
Also, a letter.
Dear Maker of Stacy's Pita Chips -
I would like to marry you and have your pita chip inventing babies. Because holy fuck are these things good!
Yours in Nom, nom, nom-ing,
Aimee
am exploring Ph.D programs in the area in between sneezes.
Solidarity. I've almost finished my (second - heh) M.A., and have been desperately looking for Ph.D. funding for the past six months (and plan to spend this academic year continuing to try and secure future funding). It's been a nightmare so far, as the economy means less university funding is available, so my distinction is worth less than it would have been a year ago. But I am determined!
Hey, Atwood is a great topic for a Ph.D. thesis. I'm a former English teacher, but could never have made an Eng Lit Ph.D. work. It's all social science for me. I only wish my teachers had told me about it, instead of setting me up to be a mediocre English student.
Dammit, I'm 37; shouldn't I be all settled into a career path by now?!
I'm 31 (and was beginning a career that got cut short for various reasons) - but my friend, who was doing a Ph.D. when I was doing my M.A., is in her 40s I think. You're never too old for academia!
I've been beset by milestones, lately. Owen's got his first loose tooth! What's the Tooth Fairy leaving, adjusted for inflation? I used to get a quarter.
A Mercedes-Benz. Preferably S-Class.
Not for all twenty teeth.
Not that I'm there yet, Cash, but my mom always used dollar coins or $2 bills for that sort of thing. The cool factor makes up for the fact that it's not a lot of money.
Oooh!! The gold dollars in a little sack like pirate booty!!
