user names and real names together

I'm keeping a list. I also have accepted a couple friend requests from people I recognize only by the pink gingham. I hadn't gotten a lot of Buffistas friended on FB because it's so overwhelming already and I see you all here. Here is better than FB.

I'm Elizabeth S. in RL, BTW.

Pix, I hope you heal quickly enough to run the marathon.

For those on Facebook, I'm Heather V.

I put out a few friends requests to people who had pink gingham icons or who had aLL known buffistas as mutual friends. I'm Allison E on real life.

I am so sorry, Strix!

I regret the circumstances, but it is so nice to see old faces like Betsy and Kathy A and katefate and to hear how things are going for them!

I crashed hard yesterday-- my stomach was off, so I stayed home from work, took a nap at one, and woke up this morning. I slept something like 18 hours. My cat ran around on top of me and I still went back to sleep without giving her her supper.

And I am Nadine T. in real life.

I am so sorry, Strix. Stupid crappy universe.

Also, I hope you have a good interview, Jessica.

I seem to have lost the ability to form coherent posts that are of interest, which is why I stopped posting as much. I am not sure why this is, and I feel this way about texts also. Maybe it is because I email SO MUCH in my work life?

So sorry, Strix.

~ma for you, Jessica.

I feel pretty good about the PhD interview I had yesterday. It helps knowing half the room and having your Master's advisor in there explicitly telling the committee that she'd like to be your doctorate advisor, too. (Just went and did some research on whether it should be advisor or adviser, and settled on advisor, though really I think I have my pick.)

Home sick today with a sore throat (and not enough sleep the past couple nights).

Good luck, Jess! Just keep focused, and you can do it.

Good luck to you, too, Kiba! Is this to get into a Ph.D. program?

That sounds very positive, Kiba. Continued good luck!

I'm so sorry, Strix.
