Gronklies. I've got PT this morning. Don't wanna. I want to go back to bed.
All right, no one's killing folk today, on account of our very tight schedule.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

their inferiority complex in the field of social sciences
I sense we are going to be taking opposite views on the awesomeness or otherwise of sociology for a long, long time.
But, ugh, statistics. They make me and the Baby Jesus cry, yes they do.
Continued health~ma, Anne.
My dissertation has pretty much everything written up except, um, results. Which isn't as bad as it sounds, as this study has turned out to be an exercise in how hard it is to get results in the context I was researching. But I'm at the word limit without having written up the results I do have. I'm going to have to do a hatchet job on a couple of thousand words from another section. This is probably going to feel like cutting off my own arm.

I've got PT this morning. Don't wanna. I want to go back to bed.
Ooh, I know that feeling. Good luck. (I've got my annual course of PT coming up early in 2010. Not desperately looking forward to it. I'm also getting hydrotherapy though! Love that.)

Shit's all sorts of different now.
I hate it when your friends don't act like, ya know, adults.
My friend N asked me at my Halloween party if I wanted to go to the midnight showing of New Moon. I said I didn't know cause I was a)drunk and b)might be getting a little old for all the midnight showings I may want to partake in. N then shamed me into going with her. So we're going tonight, N bought the tickets, she's picking me up.
I had also told our frind J that her and I would go see a matinee because hello? New Moon. I will see it a couple of times, I am that mother. I just got a call from J's husband telling me that I've hurt J's feelings and please either include her tonight or explain to her why she wasn't invited to the midnight showing tonight. @@@@@@@@
I'm just buying her a ticket and asking her to go tonight instead of explaining to her that I have other friends and I don't have to do every living thing with her at every given moment. @@@@@@@@

Aims, she had her husband call you? Seriously?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

This right here? If you're old enough to have a husband, you're old enough to tell your friends directly how you feel.

Aims, you're very nice to do that.

I would not have had kind words for that husband. I might not have had nasty words, depending on circumstances, but definitely no kind words.

She didn't have her husband call me. He did that himself. His last words were, "We never had this conversation." J would have never said anything to me, she would have left it alone.

His last words were, "We never had this conversation."
Not acceptable. Only acceptable if he was planning a surprise party for her. Not acceptable when he is infantilizing her.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Honestly, if this is the case, I don't think you're obligated to respond in any way. It seems like the husband is the one with his panties in a twist.
