TO MOLLIFY LINGJACKSON OVERDRIVEBERT WHO IS THE SQUEAKY DESERT FIEND, POST ON THIS THREAD AND ONE OF YOUR FRIENDLY ITR MODS WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE WICKED AWESOME, AND POSSIBLY OFFER AN EFFUSIVE ST

remember dante?

I think I maybe finally crossed the rubicon into some perma-buzz kind of state. I've been up and about for 3 hours and no headache yet, no big downturn in mood, either I have a new girlfriend or I drank some kind of magic potion

Well, yay to whatever is making you feeling crazy cheerful!

I'm off to walk on my treadmill for the next eternity.

huururrrrrrrghgghghghhhhhh

at work for an hour, then i get to clean my now EMPTY FUCKING APARTMENT YEAAAAAAAAAH FUCK YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAHHH

i am tired and all of the bits of me are not only hurt, but loudly complaining

i think i am developing a caffeine immunity. not good.

I am wearing a white button-down for the first time in ages and it feels all right

officially the most boring and insipid tweet-like bullshit post I have ever made

thanks

go fuck yourself

all right: way better than alright

aww i really want to excelsior tom's last posts but i fear his wrath. so tOM; it's all on with the new lady friend? yr seeing her again?

I like your internal dialogue Mr. Bot.

It is weirdly cheering.

guys it's wilter's birthday today. i'm gonna go start a thread. see you over there.

hb wilter whatever
I am taking a break from conversing with drunks because I have been summoned to another bar by some other old vet who is in my town without permission, the fuck

I just threw a bruised chunk of banana into my toilet and my immediate thought was "TAKING OUT THE MIDDLEMAN!!" which was true and horrifying

also yes I think the state of being that I am in is that I have a girl with a crib and I will call her

i finally cracked and left the house to go eat thai food with a friend. now i have to get back to work and i am not happy about it after a stressed phone call from a classmate and fellow project sufferer.

why were you eating banana in the bathroom?

i think i might actually die from boredom today. OMFG I HATE THIS JOB SO BAD.

in good news: some letterpress printer/book collector friends of me and jordan are in SF this weekend, and jordan has been hanging out, meeting peeps and doing some networking for me. he met a guy who is a printer with connections to the whole bay area printer network, so i may have some hookups when i get there.

omg just got a SECOND freak out phone call from same person. i am going to stop answering my phone because now i've wasted 30 minutes.

ruby which job is today's?

hookups = awesome! esp in our current job market! yay!

i'm at the dumb shoestore right now, then i go to the restaurant afterwards, which will be busy cuz it's mothers' day.

btw HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY, SARA!!

where do you guys recommend for good quality semi-affordable jeans?

I have been reading a zillion pages of nursing textbooks, and I'm nowhere near the halfway mark.

RR - thanks so much for Mother's Day wishes! Um, I better call my Mom tomorrow and pass it on to her, huh.

re: jeans - I have a terrible time buying them because they usually don't fit (I am pretty short, but my legs are longer - so petites are too short, but regulars are too long; my waist is disproportionate to my legs and hips also... APPARENTLY). The last pairs of jeans I have purchased have been at Macy's; a cheap-ish brand called Style & Co. BUT THEY FIT ME! And they wear well. And they are maybe $30 a pair.

i like uniqlo. also, laurel recommends levis!
honestly i haven't been jeans shopping in AGES and need to do this soon. but not yet...

wow awesome! yeah i haven't bought jeans in ages cuz i have so much trouble finding ones that fit - short legs, big thighs, huge hips, narrow waist (i got 40" hips to try and balance with a 28" waist, it's a goddamn pain), and i hate when lowrider jeans stretch out too much and then i spend all day long pulling them up so i don't flash my underwear to the entire world.

I have never owned a pair of Levis in my entire life, but I have always wanted to. SOMEDAY

Women's sizes, especially for pants, make zero sense and are impossible to work with.

I would love to have a small waist! ;_;

a small waist is one thing, but not when it's always competing with relatively huge hips. i like your US sizing: in nz i'm a 12 but in the US i'm a 6!! makes me feel TINY!

See, I'm the reverse; the only reason I have hips at all is that I had teh babies.

Okay, my study break is over; time to go read a pharmacology chapter about diuretics. ;_;

i have been re-doing all this spreadsheets bc i can't go any further with the 'narrative' portion of the project til i do. god, i hate excel.

I made pudding but it's a little too sugary.

I made caramel the other night but I forgot to add a dash of salt and it just wasn't right.

I am a failure at what is essentially applying heat to sugar.

how is it 2 and i am still doing spreadsheets ;_;

they don't even tell you anything good.

mm pudding. i am trying to remember to drink water to counter all the caffeine.

DIURETICS

I just looked at the clock and was like, wtf, why am I still reading these textbooks?!

A. came in and remarked that he had been replaced by "a three ring binder, a pile of paper, and 40 pounds of textbooks." (I guess I should not spread everything out on the bed to study anymore).

i will gladly trade you reading for spreadsheets. gladly.

I am imagining the chaos if we switched places on Monday. I could turn your project in, of course, but only if you had done it.

You could take my test on Monday night, but I have no idea what you'd get for a score. Two days is probably not enough time to read about all of this stuff. I feel like I can't even absorb it in two and a half weeks...

Maybe you'd be brilliant at it, though!

i think i am going to have a full breakdown soon. the way this guy wants us to set everything up and the fact that my organization has such low subscription rates means that there is absolutely NO way that numbers can match up properly when based on made up percentages because the percentages have to be so tiny and the computer starts to round things. i hate him so much.

Will you be finished with him forever as soon as you hand this project in? Because just imagining how awesome that is going to feel could be good motivation.

Well, that and maybe a short 8 hour nap...

i will be finished with him after the oral presentation portion a week from tuesday.

wow, 8 whole hours sounds so incredible

A week from Tuesday!!!! How awesome is THAT going to be?!

I'm going to go get that 8 hours of sleep and you should try to do the same, tehresa. I'm hoping that my brain will be a bit refreshed tomorrow for it. Can't hurt; might help!

So good night tehresa and all ITRers everywhere. Get some sleep, will ya?

you're very sweet. i think i have had it for the moment so i am going to sleep. maybe... 5 hours? eek!

i am not even waiting for the oral part to celebrate - we have an awards dinner tuesday night (project due at 5) and i have a feeling we're all gonna get a little crazy even though finals aren't til next week.

poor tehresa and sara ;_; every day i feel gladder and gladder that i decided no post grad studies for me. but i feel so bad for you ladies!

hey i just read the nasty alex in nyc thread on 77 and its related threads on ask chaki, and that shit is just MEAN.

unnecessary bump

Rubyredd you're on 77 right??

Hey Curtis maybe have a word with your members about the ethics of posting private board content on a public board.

rubyredd def needs an invite

mark c i think its generally acknowledged that that private board content shouldve been on a public board in the first place so everyone is cool w it tho i cant speak for crut

People just need to stop taking ILX so damn seriously
