Burrell, I hope you feel better soon!

Thanks, WS. I think I just need to go to bed early.

but the person who unfriended you won't be on your list of friends anymore.

Have you ever checked your friends list? I never have. I'm wondering what kind of person would do that, but nevermind, I guess we found the answer. Ugh, sorry Hil.

French teacher messaged me, "Unfriending me is a little over the top, Hillary. But whatever you choose." Yeah. Whatever.

I'm thinking it was a little late in coming, especially given her reaction. Whatever, indeed.

Wtf is a Bohama teenie??

Sounds like a vaguely offensive way of referencing Obama. You know, that dude who was elected president of the United States. Twice. I'm only going with vaguely offensive because maybe she's just a huge fan of The Dandy Warhol's "Bohemian Like You." And that is legit even if I don't love the song personally because people are allowed to like different things. Even casual, casual easy things.

If she uses Social Fixer, it's easy to see if you've been defriended, though that may be changing in the near future.

There are some good ones. Possibly my favorite --

I was going to say - Social Fixer shows if you are defriended. Which is useful if you use Facebook for promotional as well as personal purposes. But, as MFL says that probably will be going away in the future. Facebook is threatening massive legal action if the author does not remove filtering, tabbing and the friend tracker. Since it is a browser extension I doubt Facebook has a case - but then again I am not a lawyer. However regardless Matt has no wish to have defend himself against Facebook's legal department, cause given what that could cost you lose even if you win. And even if you are 90% sure the law is on your side, you can never be 100% sure how the courts will rule. So he is going to remove the features they don't like. But looks to me like pure corporate bullying, with no real legal basis, but again I am not a lawyer.

Sorry about the ridiculous drama, Hil. I'm stunned a former teacher would act that way--even though you are long out of her classroom, it's just not okay to treat a former student like that.

I'm having an insomnia night. Whee.

I choose to believe that Bohama teenie is a good thing. Sorry for the drama and the pain, Hil. I hope that both ease very quickly.

Wow. While I respect and adore many of my former teachers, I could never classify them as "friends", even in the facebook sense. And an adult getting her fee-fees all hurt over being unfriended after repeatedly being hurtful? Weird. Really, really weird. Def best to have her as far from your life as possible. I apparently lucked out, the libertarian gun-lover former friend from rural VA who I unfriended has been gracious enough to not harass me about it. What's done is done, sometimes differences are just too much of a gap to bridge. Especially when that other person isn't an active participant in your life anymore. Sorry she's making a crummy day/week/month even crummier.

Totally unrelated: even better than kettle corn? Honey roasted peanuts in kettle corn. Even better than that? Peanut m&ms in warm kettle corn. I am totally indulging today since i'm still cranky about not being able to drink. (Unidentified mass on liver + daily flexeril + nightly valium = moratorium on the booze.) Especially sad since I have a 12 pack of delicious assorted ciders AND a bottle of fire balls cinnamon whiskey in my cupboard. Together those equal autumn in your mouth. Separate and still in their bottles they equal sadness. For me, at least.

edited to correct blatant subject/verb disagreement

Why did I leave these midterms in my office rather than bringing them home with me? I have to have them graded by noon tomorrow, which, given my schedule tomorrow morning, really means I have to have them graded today. And I'm still hurting a lot from yesterday, and walking is going to be really painful. Still on my couch in my pajamas now, but I'm to have to get dressed and get to campus soon.
