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

this is going to be my facebook status for the next 24 hours.

yay I get to go home now

YAY DAN!!!!

I think I'm up to my the final section of my care plan, so there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Except that I have to repeat this nonsense in two weeks.

Anyway, gin and tonic death slushes for everyone!!!

Okay, how sick is it that I'm so tired that I'm now kind of enjoying how exhausted I am?

HELLO EXHAUSTION-INDUCED EUPHORIA

yay home, now bed

Yay done, submitted the freaking thing!

Yay for sleep! I will get to have some, too. SO EXCITED

wow dan you get home fast.

yay sara!

YAY all!

Not surprised at all re: G&T death slushies of Britain, this is totally something I could see Dr W!ld, age 93 handing out and in fact can already imagine the 1950s BBC English describing the need for such a thing. 'Partially frozen' also U&K because Britishes did not discover drink ice until about 1992.

Sara, my mom is like an independent notionally but she sucks up GOP talking points and yesterday sounded like she was smoking the freeper crack. I think it's time to hit her with the "I'm ashamed to hear this coming out of you" intergenerational flipback.

Also fax her a g&t slush first.

"G&T death slushies of Britain" would be a good band name, as well as an enjoyable product.

suzy, I want to hear what your mother says if you tell her you're ashamed of her!!! She sounds entertaining.

too bad that didn't make it into the john justen new name poll

And it would have been so perfect, too. ;_;

I failed a bunch of lol college classes by getting hit in the head by a car. I have gotten (with the exception of a B from University of Minnesota professor Lary May who is a FUCK and fills me with distaste for the academic study of american studies) only A's and F's and carefully chosen Pass/fails in my long long college career. PS one of these days i should probably write my final thesis o_O

HI DERE LARY MAY I STILL HOLD GRUDGE

hey hey i been drinking wooooo

"getting hit in the head by a car?"

Okay, more pieces of the medical history snap into place. Your chart must make for some crazy reading.

Uh, but, you know, glad you're okay and everything!

(sorry, I'm kind of out of it, but am still sitting here in case a nursing school friend needs a late night pep talk)

I feel like I want to hear the story behind the Lary May thing, too.

where is tombot i feel that together we could focus a beam of perfect hate on lary may that would make his nudge nudge whee whee i am one of you kangol burst into flames

xpost: you know this story ms sara dominos pizza truck concussion circadian rhythms blah blah blah

Mr. Justen, I do NOT know this story. I am sorry to inform you of this, but I fear your memory may be failing you at this early age.

Please tell the story at the earliest opportunity, before the desperate need for gin and tonic death slush hits you.

And while I'm prying, someday I want to read that NaNoWriMo novel you wrote in its entirety.

everybody who ever went to college knows the lary may story. you take the professor who gave you one letter grade lower than you expected or thought you deserved in the class, citing some really incredibly stupid officious reason, and you replace that prof's name with lary may

No, I meant I don't know the being hit by a pizza truck story (or whatever...?).

I don't think I ever had a prof like that, tbh, but I had plenty of other weird profs (my own fault for taking freaking organic chemistry, I suppose). The profs I have now are great on the teaching, horrible on the realistic scheduling expectations thing.

heh, depression era AMST class, i focused on music (shock) he was a film dude, at one point we were having a lecture disussion about marlene dietrichs choice to wear masculine suits, i offered up the idea that it was related to the replacement of economic power during the time period, he asked me smugly what feminist textbook i had read that in, and i tole him to fuck off and walked out of the class. went into the final with 100% point total, final was worth 20% of the grade, left with an 80% B. fuck that guy.

xzpost hahaha but i actually have proof, and got my protest bounced because he was off campus and i stopped caring. still tombot OTM in general

WAIT TOMBOT WHY YOU STILL AWAKE

I MEAN AWESOME AND I HOPE THAT YOU ARE DRUNK BROTHERMAN BUT I DONT HAVE TO WORK TOMORROW AND YOU ARE DEFENDING OUR FREEDOM AND TERRORISTS OR SOMETHING SO ???

Well, everyone who has ever met you knows that you are a bearded Gloria Steinem.

I'm too slow on the XP tonight.

I'm practically always awake until 3am EST, I work swing shift.

I will sleep better knowing that Tom is protecting us. At least until 2 a.m. central time.

tom the fact that i fucked up my east coast visit timing and thus will not manage crush kill destroy drinking with you is ultra :( :( :(

i r a terrible failure but i will probably be drunk enough that this will be but a distant memory

Good night Tom, good night John

i may be 86ing my philly plans, so i might be stumbling around your fine city for quite some time ) i arrive early on tues. i know this so far - i will be in NYC by next thurs afternoon and outside of a wedding on sat i will be tripping the light fandrunkstik the whole time as far as i know. i will (honestly) email scouts honor etc.

um yes also gnight

Morning!

*unintelligible grunt*

Actually, it's not that bad. I have four days to endure before I have a full 9 days away from work. This also probably means 9 days away from ILX as well but, as hard as I imagine it'll be, I suspect y'all cope.

It'll make you a better person. Time away from ILX is the equivalent of finding health in a shoot-em-up.

so i was completely out of it at work tonight, really shouldn't have been there as i kept going hot/cold all night and feeling dizzy and coughing my lungs out - but ya know it's hospitality and i can't afford to take time off - and i had the fuckin fruitiest customers tonight. i really couldn't deal with anyone's shit so i was a pretty sarcastic/rude bitch to almost everyone. and then to top it all off this couple - and i know the woman, she's one of our wine reps - had a HUGE domestic at their table, which had been going for about 40mins when i left and was still going! she was bawling her eyes out and he was swearing at her really viciously, and my boss wouldn't intercept. so horrible ;_;

What's this about Lary May.

As for the Troubles of Ruby, this is why you are leaving. Simple!

yikes how come my presentation is like 8 min when it's supposed to be 7? should i count on talking fast because of nerves?

Who the hell specifies that you should "make your presentation exactly seven minutes?!"
