'Touched'
[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, I LOVE Cyndi Lopper!
Birthday Felicitations, Vortex! And may you redeem your celebratory-ness at the first opportune time, and party yourself whatever the excuse! Vortex has no party excuse, Vortex needs no excuse, she is gorgeous and Legendary all on her own.
askye, I'm sorry you're having such trouble with this. I hope you get it sorted out so you get coverage or your money back, at least.
Happy birthday Vortex
Health mA, steph
Askye- it might be time to get your representati ves in fla and by involved
Yay feathers
'm eating Speculoos spread. It's a spread made out of cookies. It is amazing.
I recall Kat saying it was the new Nutella. ;)
Hey, Vortex, I have an idea for a belated birthday celebration... which reminds me I need to email you and Zenkitty.
Happy BIrthday, Vortex! May your cleavage continue to shock and awe folks nearish you!
Okay, I LOVE Cyndi Lopper!
She's so unusual.
Right now I'm torn between going to the store for some Pink Lady apples and finishing up the mowing of the lawn.
I promised Andi that I would pick up that kind of apple today, but the yard isn't finished and both dark and she will be here soon.
Argh.
Maybe some more mowing, then a dash to the store.
"I made a promise to a lady."
Happy birthday, Vortex! Slounge around with some premium booze for your ennuiday in some slinky nightie, sigh loudly a lot, and extra points for wielding a cigarette holder, even if there's not cigarette in it!!
I find Cyndi Lopper amusing also.
Woo! I am so pumped by the positive responses to the resumes. I WILL EMPLOY ALL TEH BUFFISTAZ!
It's a more achievable goal than cleaning all the things, really...
Note to senior who plagiarized her senior project (which we worked on for a month, and for which I taught many, many lessons on citations, quotes, paraphrasing and what constitutes plagiarism) necessitating three hours of research and documentation on the GIANT PARAGRAPHS OF TEXT she lifted, as getting a 0 on this project means she won't graduate (in 8 days). This is her second revision AFTER I showed her her paper in plagiarism checker and told her how she needed to cite and rework her paper:
FUCK. YOU. You are an idiot, and you will cause me a huge amount of time and grief dealing with blowback from your laziness.
No love, Me
The thing is? Citing is easy with word processors. That's a level of laziness that is impressive.
Jeebus H on a piece of burnt toast, Erin. Bitch got a second chance and still fucked it up?
She'll probably be president one day...
It wasn't just citing. Fully 3/4 of her paper was blocks of text lifted from places. And the other 1/4 I can't PROVE, but I KNOW most of it was uncited uncredited paraphrases.
She did TRY, though *saracasm*. She put in three parenthetical citations (AuthorLastName, publication date) at the end of four pf the 9 paragraphs she lifted entirely and didn't put quote marks around. Of course, for two, she cited the wrong damn author of the shit she stole. She just slapped a random author name from her (incorrectly formatted) Works Cited page at the end of the paras.
And she's not stupid. This was a cut and paste job.
I am FURIOUS. This girl was on homebound, didn't do the work, she and her mother have...exaggerated her medical condition, and she lies about shit to get out of going to class, but wants to "graduate with her class."
Then do the goddamned work, and quit your incompetent falsehoods. I don't care if you fuck yourself up at this point, but now she's fucking up MY workload. Which is strained enough, thanks.
