Travers: Perhaps you'll favor us with a demonstration while we're here. Buffy: You mean, like, right now? 'Cause, already had my recommended daily dose of fights tonight.

[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.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Lots and lots of ~ma, Hil. And I prefer to think of your current status as being Primary Understudy. If either one of the two people cast has a conflict or a crisis or just washes out, it's all you.
Not that I want to wish conflicts or crises or washouts on anyone else, but if the universe wanted to gently and nonviolently nudge one of the other two in a different direction, that would be lovely.
Not entirely unrelatedly, the editorial assistant position I applied for last June was just posted on the uni website--I have no idea if the person who got it flaked or got a better offer or what, but I just applied, again.

This would be nice.
Argh. Someone on other forum just accused me of lying, because I described something that once happened to me, and he doesn't believe it because it's never happened to him. Must stay calm and step away. I do not need to get stressed about stupid things.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
The solution--in my head--is that one of the other candidates gets accepted for their first-choice job and takes that instead. Everybody wins!

Job~ma, Hil. Being third out of thousands, as someone has said above, is fantastic. Here's hoping one of the other two decide not to take the job. Also, I hope your dissertation's going well.
Hang in there, Shir. That sounds VERY irritating - but you really will get to the point where the rest of your classmates catch up with you. If only at post-grad level (but I hope it happens for you before that).

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

You really don't. Go have some ice cream!
...That is pretty much my solution to everything.

...this is new. Beginnings of a panic attack, and my feet are getting numb. Usually it's my hands.
I'm not sure I can keep anything down at the moment, but I've got ice cream for later if I want it then.

I did not get the job with the nuns. It is probably for the best, though.

Oh Hil. Feel better. Everyone on this board (even those of us for whom tact is something you use to nail down carpets) are 100% behind you and well wishing you right now. At some other point I will comment on Thomas. My opinion is, for me, unusually nuanced.

I'd be interested in hearing your opinion.
