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

i actually pretty much dislike all sports, but jordan is a huge USC fan so i feel like i should give football-watching a chance. but that's where i draw the line. lucky for me he's not really into other sports, so i don't mind putting a little effort into this one small thing for him.

jordan is a huge USC fan

WHAT. I should have fined him five times as much.

hahaha Ned.

Okay, I will add Zodiac to my netflix queue, but who knows when I will get to it.

Tom, I don't like to admit this, but I have not seen any Star Trek movies to my memory. I have seen a few episodes of one of the television series... not even sure which one.

God, sometimes I don't know how I have missed so much pop culture.

RR - I would prefer watching basketball to football myself.

argh sara, this is even more reason you need to come drink with me!

The lack of enough movie/tv watching over the past two decades or the basketball over football preference? (Maybe this all has to do with having dated a football player through high school...?)

basketball over football preference

But I SO wish I could come drink with you because it would be so fun!

Also, Thursday my life turns into several days of hell, and I think I could probably use the drinks and drinking company.

xpost Ah, clarity!

ruby you should at least go to a baseball game. the crappy food's great! everyone sings together! it is the best most inclusive most fun usa sport to see, partly for the above and partly because it's a reason to sit outside on a nice day

sara: seriously. stow away with john! profs will have to give you an extension if you get 'kidnapped' right?

lol, I can imagine explaining that.... "Remember my friend John, from high school who I told you about who got scurvy in college? Well, he's also a KIDNAPPER! And that's how I wound up in New York..."

I wish I could go, too, but honestly I just need to finish up this class so that I can get to "summer vacation." I'd take the final today and start clinicals tomorrow if I could, just to get this all over with.

you can get through this! if i did, you can!

oh yes and i got letter yesterday re: that scholarship. $1000!

/braggin 08

OMG AWESOME!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Also, thank you for the cheerleading!

I am really lucky to have A+ support from my husband and other people in the program - but it's almost even better to have A+ support from people who are far away and who are not forced to live with me. Because why should you all care?! SO THANKS!!!

:D you will be awesome!
and thank YOU!

Yay tehresa and money! The better to have a bigger end-of-June party with.

all of what you said (minus husband part) = ditto

well it actually gets applied evenly to the 2 semesters next year.. but we can pretend i'm loaded!

School is so terrifyingly expensive. That extra $1,000 will definitely help you!

Yay, good news all around.

In other news I actually scored on Freecycle today: gunmetal grey table and matching chairs, they are all gloss painted this colour and they are on my balcony right now. Next stage: lavenderrosemaryparsleychivesthymesage in various pots.

Ooh sounds lovely!

Yay suzy! It sounds like you are having a great weekend. I loooooove lavender in particular.

Farmer I work for starting next weekend sells potted herbs and has offered me startups AND a bag of the soil they normally grow in because it's a giant pain to buy soil in the middlemost middle of central London. Now I just need, y'know, pots and plant holders. Christ on a bike, I have to go to a garden center. Shudder.

Table and chairs are set up on balcony (my block is totally '50s) and right now on the tabletop is 2x little lanterns with tealights, red flowerpot waiting for some kind of plant, and one of those classic red bug candles. I've been here since December so it's VERY nice to finally be able to sit out there. Also good is that nothing in balcony space ever gets wet.

the awesomest sport of all: basketball

RONG

ned, jordan went to USC, as did his brother, for his undergrad and UC irvine for post grad. so it's a given. we go back to chicago to watch the big game in september with the whole family (oh shit i've forgotten who they're playing).

jergz, how bout this: i will time my eventual seattle visit to coincide with a baseball game and you and me and lxy and lingbert and remy and jaq can all go.

i am going to accept that proposition on behalf of seattle, ruby.

HURRAY! come to seattle soon!
(or, alternatively: HURRY! come to seattle soon!)

Sounds so awesome, suzy!

God, Seattle FAP is making me ENVY.

I'm off to go to a study group for the evening in Mpls. If I didn't have to drive home, I think I'd be bringing vast amounts of wine, beer, or liquor to this one... but sadly, I do have to drive back.

I hope you all have a great afternoon/evening!

ooh suzy reminds me i need to get something for my window box this summer!

arrgghh i have to go to doc this morning. i have a phobia about this.

'the nurse is sick today so we can't fit you in till next tuesday' - fucking fuck i could have slept in today on my one day off! and now i have to spend another week dreading the visit :(

I would like to attend Seattle FAP. :-/

As for Jordan's unfortunately misbegotten choice of an undergrad location younger years, well well.

(Chicago in September for the big game? I thought that was more Notre Dame in November, but the vagaries of Trojan rivalries are intentional mysteries -- to my mind, there's them, and then there's everyone else on the side of righteousness.)

And before this gets out of hand on my part, I freely note that other good peoples like Jordan, like remy and get bent, are recent USC grad program folks so all my mockery towards the Trojans is of the jovial sort. Even though, of course, I am right.

let's hope your posts slip into the mollifylingbooverdrive void before jordan gets back from his camping trip, or There Will Be Blood.

i've been having fun sending youtube links of the all blacks doing the haka to various americans such as jordan's bro.

i would like to attend seattle fap, too. money tree?

if all of itr came, it would basically be the awesomest thing ever

this

ooh wait what date is seattle fap?

SEATTLE FAP PEOPLE. THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN SAYING ALL ALONG.

(xpost -- hi jergins)

(xxpost -- hi stet: it is an extended affair at this point; the visitors are coming one at a time.)

sometime in the next year

maybe i shouild just movee there when school is over

woah bad typing!

just movee here! bad typists welcomed!

stet we'll surely get some people together when you're here: me and lxy and lingbert and jaq and remy at the very least. and we can call it a fap

computer question:

i've been using AVG free for virus protection on my computer, but it's about to go non-free in the next week. any recommendations for something else free i can use?

excellent!

xpost -- AVG is staying free, there's a tiny tiny link in the advert that lets you download it.
