Thanks CK... the thing with me and riverside is i'm... well to be honest i'm overqualified to go there. But on the other hand, with this scholarship, it'll be much cheaper..... blah i dont know.

The degree.... i still dont know what to do with it. I refuse to deliberately major in math or engineering or, heaven forbid, business. So here i am gonna major in creative writing, or if i go elsewhere, english, or film studies,or playwriting.

If i can get any job post college that isnt either flipping burgers or accounting or whatnot, i'll take it. and yes i had thought of writing for video games.

Hardly. I'm fairly sure that I'm one of the few Browncoat non wow-players under thirty.

Yep, think that's about right. All the non-wowers I can think of are over thirty, I'm pretty sure. Might be missing a couple that I don't know as well...

And I am carefully avoiding the Second Life account I opened rather carelessly. I don't want to get sucked in. And...I may actually avoid the Firefly mmorp (sp?) when it comes on the scene. When one sees potentially addictive behaviour on the horizon, one should do their best to avoid it. And I know I'd quickly become addicted.

Well, coolerites- I had a GREAT weekend...playing with my new 30GB video Ipod. SQUEE!!!!!

I almost fainted when I unwrapped it. For once they really surprised me. My sister took Tidbit Saturday afternoon, so for 24 blissful hours it was quiet in my house. We went out to dinner (Chinese 250 item buffet, awesome) Saturday night, and I got to sleep in on Sunday morning. Glorious. Slept in till 10 AM for the first time in a LONG time.

I'd say a good weekend all in all. How about you?

(Can I tell you how awesome the Firefly talk and Galactica watercooler podcasts are???)

Whooo Mav sounds like an amazing birthday and I can think of no one who deserves it more!!

Whitefall and CK I laughed so hard at the WoW chat. MisterG is a major Wow guy and though he seldom gets wife aggro it does happen. Mostly he's pretty good about logging off when I need him to:)

PR- HUGS and happy for you. Personal fav is the Victoria's secret Ipex ( which does come in DD cups if you order from the catalog, they never have it in my size in store) it fits really well and has cute matching panties:)

CK- stop rubbing it in~! We're freezing here. Actually today I may not be freezing as it plans to get a whole 8 degrees above freezing for the high.

Jonny- ok so here's my list

Fictional guys I have a crush on
1- Wolverine
2-Snape ( don't ask long story)
3-Roarke
4-Hawke ( Spenser for Hire)
5- Jayne

Non Fiction
1- Sean Bean
2- Alan Rickman ( which is why I have a thing for Snape
3-Frank Langella ( his Dracula is incredible)
4- Tony Todd ( guy who plays Candyman)
5- Thomas Jane

Yes I am aware that there isn't a single guy on that list under 45. Yes I know I'm 33... I have a thing for older guys

Short span here...

just thought i'd mention, since we were on the subject, that the new grand master engineer trainer in the expansion is named, i kid you not, K. Lee Smallfry. (a gnome). A FF reference if i ever saw one.

HUGS and *runs away*

Does the ipex have a wire? Can't abide wires. I was assured that with the proper fit they would be comfy, but even when I tried on the DDD and was swimming in the cup, the wire bit at my ribs. Dunno if it's the short waist or the high sensitivity, but I couldn't stand it.
Of course the wireless DDs were the most expensive bras in the gorramn store. Thanks for the gift card, grandma!!
Forgot about listing crushes. Let's see here...
No particular order:
John Rzeznik
Amy Lee
Jon Bon Jovi
Summer Glau
Gina Torres
Sean Maher
Alan Tudyk
Kierra Knightly (when she's got some curve to her; not recently)

Crushes of the past:
Darren Hayes
Gillian Anderson
David Duchovny
Ricky Martin
Will Smith
Shakira

That's all that comes to mind at the mo'.

I'm glad you had such a shiny birthday, Mavs!

*edit* And this is the shirt that every woman who loves a gamer needs:



Sexy as hell, with a pointed message

Thanks for that - It really was a good weekend. Husband earned many, many points for the ipod...and he had a chance to redeem them since Carson was elsewhere

REALLY? Every time I go in the store they don't have DD. I will check online or catalog. I've always wanted an Ipex and just shook my head sadly at the tiny little cups in the store.

Wow. This is turning into an equally good day too!

Mav Crushiness:

Kiefer Sutherland
Val Kilmer
George Clooney
Sean Bean (Richard Sharpe, not The Hitcher!)
Kate Bush- (Though I don't play for both sides of the team, she'd make me reconsider)

Yes PR I am right with you on the wireless. They have both wire and no wire and their no wire is the most comfy ever!

Mav- yes try the catalog. Since the average woman is a B or C they don't carry a lot of the larger sizes, but the catalog does and the Ipex rocks!!! It manages to do the whole coverage thing without the annoyance of excess padding and lets face it the last thing you, PR, Magda, and I need is extra padding in that area. I already can't see my shoes, or bellybutton without contortions.

The bras I bought were Bali brand. No extra padding, no wires, way comfy. luv luv luv! (they even have a subtle flower pattern on the fabric and a little bow in the middle)

Hello, Odds, PR, CK, JTD, and Whitefall. I think that's everybody at the moment even though most of that moment seems to have been last night.

Whitefall - Here's my unsolicited

When it comes to education--higher ed especially--I find that the caliber of the school is secondary to the caliber of the student. You get back exactly what you put into it. Sounds like you are properly motivated so that shouldn't be an issue. Now the real KEY is the instructors. (nods to MsG and all the rest of you fine Browncoats in the profession) The university you go to is no guarantee of the caliber (seem to like that word today; must be thinking of NVG or something...) of the instruction you will receive.

If you are going to school for the prestige attached to the Brand Name that's one thing. Sadly, that does open doors sometimes that would otherwise be closed upon graduation. If, on the other hand, you are there to learn, as the case here seems to be, wherever you end up you will find your mentor, or they will find you. You won't be able to hide your shine if you truly have it.

I work in the Registrar's office at the University of Michigan and--past Rose Bowl issues aside--I just want to let you know so you can go in with your eyes wide open: some of the premiere students in their respective fields attend here, and I have seen students here that I wonder how they graduated kindergarten. I'm talking graduate students in some cases. I don't how they made in, I don't know how they'll make though, I don't know how they'll survive after they're out.

If you put yourself into, you get your reward, no matter where you go. Just make sure the school you choose has what you want. And you don't have to decide your destiny your first couple of years in anyway.

Sorry to go on like that but those that know me are snickering in the background right now. This is actually a short post...

Oh, yeah, Screw your warm weather, , mr !!



"Well, here I am...Does that seem right to you?"
