I swear... If one more person asks me "what's wrong" with my the skin on my legs, I'm going to slap someone.

NOTHING IS WRONG. That's just what they look like. No, I don't have a rash. No, I don't need to apply sunscreen better. No, they are not bruises. That's just. what. my. skin. looks. like.

HOLY CARP!!! How he do it?!?! He is hardcore!!!!

When I graduated from college only 1 person graduated with a 4.0 from the science department. She was not a very nice person. she kept to herself and never went out, only studied (we excepted this and we stop stopped bothering to invite her out). She did manange to get a boyfriend who was majoring in physics. He apparently did her physics work for her (it was an online course). Most of the people I graduated with was willing to help each other, share notes, tips, ect. We had to work in groups doing labs and she loathed it. We would all help each other, but if any of her group members shared advice or answers she wouldnt speak to them and give them dirty looks. People pretty much avoided working with her. Even some of the prof were annoyed with her "everyman for themself" attitude. When it came time for her to apply to med schools. She got interviews to most of the top schools, but got rejects from all except ole miss, one of her parents went there. Most of us was feeling pretty down and hopeless, "how could she not get excepted with a 4.0?" One of the advisors told us," its not just about the grades. on paper she looks awesome. but in the interview, she couldnt hide who she was. i would not want her as my doctor. She would be great in research, but interacting with people." She was the type of person who would come in look you and the eye, tell you that you are dying, then walk out.

Many of my friends graduated with high GPA's and most if not all who applied to programs were accepted, but they generally had better personalities.

I bought this up, because getting a GPA that high is amazing, and I know all my science people struggled and the only one to get a 4.0 had a horrible personality. At graduations we all stood around chatting and taking pics, even people we may not had even known, we were just so happy. someone asked her to join and she gave a firm NO and left with her parents.

I hope he is nothing like her or all hope is lost!

yep - i guess Malware Bytes was right... it was my iTunes update that caused my spam emails. because my computer has not sent another one since i dumped all the Apple software.

*sigh*

now i'm wondering if i have to do a reset on the iPod before i reinstall the software....



which would mean losing years of music i added from my cd collection - at least iTunes keeps track of all my purchases!

I did the "easy" courses, and my GPA was nowhere near that high.

Another Thursday another day where some people expect to get to work and do nothing because I'm supposed to have done. Well F you. I haven't managed to split myself in two yet. And I don't see why I should do everything so you can have an easy evening shift. You just sail along on everyone else's hardwork. Like I said F you.

I just found out what that "hey I just met you meme" was all about. How is that terrible, terrible song a hit? Good lord that's an awful song!

I just took my drug test. Goddamn but my urine is pristine! Now you all know.

You have to to cook for certain companies. Like Disney or Aramark, for other examples.
Why do you think my friend has so much trouble getting cooks? The background checks are intense. A consequence of being owned by Fidelity.

Ugh:

I just chased one of my semi-ferals through the yard, trying to douse his facial wound with hydrogen peroxide. Nothing like running with dripping cotton balls, yelling, "C'mere, ***damnit!" through wilting weeds, while your own hand bleeds from his scratch attack.

He makes me feel like Mrs. Sylvester: A Mouse Divided - 1953 - YouTube

Midgi, given how much I always enjoy your stories about your childhood, I'm flattered. Thank you.

Of course, he's mad at me, now.

What the hell @ the way I feel today.

What.
The.
HELL.

And what am I forgetting to put on my grocery list for dinner tonight? I only have 5 things on it, I shouldn't need a list for just 5 things.

I would. Even if it were only two things, I'd have to mumble them to myself in order to remember.

I get sidetracked easily while in grocery stores.
