I saw that, too, Jesse, since I couldn't resist going back to the comments. And I agree -- at that age I was trying to skate through my exams and get to the weekend, pretty much.
It's because you didn't have a strong father figure isn't it?

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I didn't read the comments. I guess I shouldn't?
I didn't read many. There were some criticisms about the ethics of her lying to the community for an extended period. For mine, she got her parents' and the principal's permission beforehand, and her boyfriend (the only other person who ran any reputational risk) was cool with it, so I don't see the problem.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
It seems to me that mild bondage may be on the continuum of "confined = comforting" that Temple Grandin discovered with her squeeze machine.
I had a job interview yesterday that didn't actually SUCK. It's for a contract job that probably wouldn't run more than six months, but it would still be fun and educational/resume-assetful. Plus they only have three candidates for the job!
You can send a little job-ma if you have any just lying around. At this point, even an interview that doesn't leave me convinced I'll never work in a professional job again is a big plus....

I don't recall my high school requiring any sort of project like that, goodness. I do wonder what she told her friends her project was!
Jessica, I would probably make it shorter and less formal, but even if he knows you he may not really have an idea of your background or where your interests lie.
you already sent it, but this. I wouldn't have a clue about most o my coworkers backgrounds or fiddly things they do other than main parts of their job that affect me!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I just finished my radiation therapy.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I had a senior project, but I think it was three-months, not six. Most people (including me) got internships and wrote a report on them.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Woo hoo, Perkins!!!!!
