And I realize that I have actually spent more time off-campus this week than I have since Scotland. Curious.

is this a good thing or a bad thing?

A very good thing, I think. I was beginning to forget what the outside world looked like.

That big grey thing is the sky. The brown thing is the ground. Don't get them confused.

And the large very bright thing is the sun. It is best not to look directly at it. :)

Don't look at the sun? BRILLIANT!

I'm surrounded by comedians.

BRILLIANT!

Thank you, I'll be here all week, tip your servers well!

I am torn. On one hand, if you continue with the terrible puns, I shall be forced to remind you that there are terrible jokes to be had in French and Latin as well.

On the other, this is amusing.

that is what TV is for.

I suppose. I don't actually watch a lot of TV, come to think of it.

neither do I really. but it's a good way to remember there is another world outside.

getting out is a very good thing. I do it a couple nights a week. you should join me!

It depends on what my schedule's like in the lab, and with homework - but that sounds reasonable.

it's maybe 2 hours of your time unless we get pizza later. and you are usually a week ahead in homework.

want to do my homework?

I was usually a week ahead until Mr. Dayspring came back. And thank god I have Jay as a roommate, because there's yet ANOTHER Shakespeare unit coming up in English Lit.

...

is that the picture you took at the truck stop when we went to the rez?

What did me coming back have to do with you no longer behind a week ahead?

Date: 2005-02-25 07:28 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] x-forge.livejournal.com
I was a week ahead until we had a week off! And if my C+ on the last quiz tells me anything, it's that I need to spend a little more time reading the material for history.

Or, you know, that I'm not preparing you all properly for the quizzes...

Aren't I supposed to be the conspiracy theorist here?

Despite all appearances, sir, I like the class. It's hard. I'm not sure if I can put into words how relieving that is.

From: [identity profile] x-cable.livejournal.com
Hrrm. Well, I'm glad you're liking it - and I think I get your point about it being hard.

But you weren't the only one who had difficulty with that last quiz. I may have made it too difficult, or skimped on the preparation... I'll have to think.

Makes you feel like you're really accomplishing something when you do do well, especially if you're used to it being easy. S' like my mom's Inquisition-torture-tool algebra tests. I used to sweat bullets studying for those, but the first time I got one back, didn't have to do corrections to pull my grade up, and realized I really did understand the quadratic equation? That was pretty sweet.

Is it a conspiracy theory when you know that some people are actually going to conspire against you eventually?

Date: 2005-02-25 08:16 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] x-forge.livejournal.com
...should I take that to mean you're conspiring against me? You already had six hours to drag me around and get me fitted for clothes and wear all sorts of weird things (which, all other things aside, do happen to look nice) - what OTHER conspiracies could you have in mind?

Date: 2005-02-25 08:19 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] x-tarot.livejournal.com
I was actually speaking more philosophically than literally.

Of course, that being said, you are going to out grow those clothes eventually.

And if he doesn't, fashions will change, or something, or you'll just think of some other reason. Clothes shopping is more of a conspiracy postulate than a conspiracy theory, really. :)

"Where two are three are gathered, yea, there shall be a sale in the vicinity?"

I believe Lorna has her beat, though. Either she's got an extradimensional space in her closet somewhere, or she's got access to another dimension because I have seen her carrying more shoes than could POSSIBLY fit in one room.

From: [identity profile] x-crowdofone.livejournal.com
I've been trying to figure out where Lorna stockpiles her shoes ever since I got here. I have this theory that she runs a black-market footwear clearinghouse over the Internet, so none of them actually stay here very long.

She's the mutant Imelda Marcos, I tell you. There are entire third-world economies supported solely by her consumer habits.

From: [identity profile] x-crowdofone.livejournal.com
See, and now that you've pointed it out, she'll have to go shopping again. Because there are starving children in Tadboggistan who need the kickback from her latest eight pairs of pumps to buy food! She's not shopping, she's providing humanitarian aid!

I don't have that many shoes. Only...let's see, there are the seven pairs of black heels and about eight in other colors, six knee high boots, three ankle boots, a bunch of sandals, some flip-flops, the couple pairs of running shoes, and a scattering of other occasional shoes.

Oh, and the kitchen shoes.

Okay, so maybe I could stand to get rid of a couple of pairs. But it's not like I have a closet devoted to them or anything.

It would not be nearly as entertaining if the people who hated it did not make such expressive faces of woe while shopping.

I should bring a camera. I could make an entire art project out of the faces of annoyed young men being forced to shop.

It's actually kinda fun when it's Kitty dragging me shopping. Granted, that's because she tries on at least as many things as she makes me try on, and hers are a lot more interesting. :)

I thought I was being pretty good with the whole woe thing. And besides, we found that top for me, which even I have to admit looks pretty good. Mmm, crushed red velvet.

Usually it is the boys who make the faces of woe. Though, sometimes it is the salesclerks. :)
