Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

[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.

Our wings are not tired.

I didn't think I'd be interested in getting a Master's, but the head of our English program at UoL told me it would be very sad if I didn't pursue it. Huh. (I did want to, at one point, but ever since I passed the last exams last May, I've not ever wanted to study ever again ever.)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Sad for whom?

Zen, I think she meant for me. And I think she meant it as a compliment--that English studies were definitely my True Luff.

not your mom's socks.

thanks for the health~ma and the its-nothing~ma ... apparently stress can make you sick so i enjoin you to go be chill as all get out for your health's sake this weekend - but also the buffista~ma is powerful and it's something solvable. Thank you.

I'm just projecting my issues, javachik! My mentor in anthropology told me it would be a shame and a waste of my potential if I didn't get a Ph.D. I hated college and couldn't imagine surviving grad school, so I didn't go.

Glad it's solvable, Sox.

Stress kills. If we could only weaponize it somehow...

Good to hear, Sox. Also, my parents knew about Uncle S.

Raging headache. 4pm on a Friday is a reasonable time to stop working, right? I'm going to take a Tylenol and a decongestant and go back to bed. This will ensure that my sister calls me just as I'm falling asleep.

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?

I am wondering if I should stop with the teaching degree and just get the BA in English and then head to grad school.

Aims, do you want to teach?

The status is NOT quo.

Fwiw, Aims, if you want to teach high school I recommend getting the BA in the subject area and then getting a teaching certificate/masters.
