Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Meeting ran an hour long, and now I can't decide if I want food or sleep more.

Vibes for good cholesterol numbers, Steph.

I had a two-hour meeting yesterday, but it was the good sort where I was able to contribute ideas. I think I do okay in meetings. I'm a very socially awkward person, but I'm really bad at respecting authority (maybe that's an Asperger's thing?) so I feel free to say things.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

I am full of coffee! No Egg McMuffin, though. And it looked like blood, not Velveeta, in the collection tube, so I feel like that's a good start.

That's always good, Velveeta isn't very good at carrying oxygen.

For some reason, while listening to Al Franken's Giant of the Senate, I thought of Harry Potter and realized that the seventh book is basically an allegory of a political campaign. Harry is obviously the candidate. He's the talented, public-facing sort of person you want as a candidate. Hermione is the definitive campaign manager. She manages all the details, stays well away from the limelight, and the candidate would be lost and helpless without her. Ron is the friend who provides emotional support during the rigors of the campaign. Genny is.... she's the mistress who the candidate wants to lie low until the election is over. Luna is the crazy-ass idealist who helps you with the base and reminds you of your own idealism that got you into politics to start with. And so on...

My Dad's family is trying super hard to disprove that, though. (Not successfully, I might add.)

And now I'm going to check the online MyChart dealie all day to see if my results are back. There are 3-year-old kids who are better at waiting for stuff than I am. Sheesh. (Results not back yet.) (Yup, I already looked.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm barely into season 3, Consuela, and at this point I'm leery of getting attached to anyone as terrible things keep happening to my favorites.

I am not full of coffee and unable to respond effectively to the posts since then. Sorry about that, just had to get my two cents in on the zombies.

It would be hard to overstate how much I want to crawl back into bed right now. But I will not.

Why no egg mcmuffin Steph? You deserve it. And I am too lazy to go get one so I deserve one vicariously. (Also I don't actually know where the nearest McDonald's is anymore since they tore down the one near me)

I would have had to go way out of my way, and I just wanted to get home. Plus I really couldn't eat the english muffin part anyway.
