It's either Rutgers or Princeton, I bet he meant Rutgers.

Why did I think those were more North? But I am looking at the map now, and it is telling me this is very much so.

I am soooo friggin sleepy, I could fall asleep at my desk right now. The only thing stopping me is that I have to go to a meeting in 2 minutes. I woke up at 4:30 this morning, raring to go and wishing I could go back to sleep. I think it's because I had a supergreat weekend and felt like I was ready to take on the world by last night.
I think I'm going to put off laundry until tomorrow. No way I have the energy to do it tonight. No. Way.
How's everyone (in school right now) doing with school? Are you guys done with finals and papers and projects? Anything left? Are you planning on taking summer classes or an extended break for the next two and a half months?

I'm sleepy too. Slept lousy for no reason at all, and skipped the gym this morning, which probably would have energized me. Getting by on sugar.
I'm going through the boxes of weeded books from the library branches. They've been weeding LIKE MAD the last few weeks!Here's what it looks like when I first arrive at my weed table:

Wow. That does look like a lot of weeds.But I still wish I had your job.
A 66-year-old women in London is pregnant. I fucking hate this world.
Yeah, I felt some pissiness about that too. Think of the kid, woman!
To quote my roommate: "Have fun when your mom dies in 15 years, bro."I hate kids, but still... she's awful.
Not her fault Matt, her boyfriend said the condom had been tucked in the back of his wallet since 1958.
They just don't make em like they used to.Oh. Wait.
And now I'm done with the weeds, at least for today. Here's what my weed table looks like now, pretty much:[image error]
Why are you still at work? It's 6:16!
Do they sell these "weeds" like at a library surplus book sale? Ours does
I'm going home now, RA.And yes, Kevin, they sell the books at library sales, and online at Once Sold Tales, and Amazon, too, I think.
Very good idea Jackie. I volunteer at all the library book sales and they are a big hit although I am down on people who come in with bar code scanners and just buy to resell.
Oooof, how I HATE those people Kevin. They empty the shelves at GoodWill, and are just damn rude too.
agreed. They elbow in ripping things off shelves and then tossing them back randomly if they don't show a value after scanning. I don't collect books to resell although I give away many. I bought 2 original Edgar Rice Burroughs 1st Edition Tarzan volumes recently and a guy stopped me on the way out and was admiring them and I just handed them to him and said "here, you seem like you would really enjoy these." he beamed. Way cooler than selling them or even keeping them
Yay! Kevin gets cool points for giving away books to book-lovers. :)
Headed to the library to renew my card. Time sure does fly by.
:) BunWat, everytime you post something adultlike (or even just post something), it makes me giggle since your av is a cutie pie little girl.
Yeah. The just have to verify identity and residency to renew it here. I tried to renew a book online. It wouldn't let me because my membership expires before the book would be due back.So off I go.
lori- i had to check out to make sure what you said. thanks!
:) I was riding in the backseat of my friend's parents' gigantaur van. We were going on "a field trip" (of sorts) to Oak Alley Plantation. That was my "I'm a BEAR!" face.
I used to make that face alot. I think I still do.
Mod
Yeah, my friends Amy and Paul and I were on a secret Scooby Doo and the Mystery Machine ghost hunting mission. We were busy hatching the plan in the van en route to the plantation.We didn't see anything, though. We DID try to creep each other out to make up for what we missed.
Mod
TTFN! BRB!
Wow. I'm wearing my bronze gladiator sandals today with my brown linen skirt and dusty rose button down linen shirt. The outfit makes me feel like a safari hunter or a jungle explorer. I get lots of compliments on the sandals, so I thought the mini ego boosts couldn't hurt, right? Well, I've finally found a disadvantage to wearing them. I was running up the stairs to work from the parking garage(because I do that) and slipped and almost face planted into the concrete stairs. I'm not sure if it was best that I caught myself on my hands or not. I did, though. My legs had trouble catching footing, so I'm sure I'll have scrapes across the front of my thighs and calves. I fully expected my palms to be bloody and full of loose gravel/sand/concrete. They weren't. I did break a nail. That part sucks. And I'm sure I will have bruises tomorrow. The worst part was the nurse who was walking up the stairs behind me stopped to ask if I was okay. My ego - seriously bruised over that. I abhor that I'm proud.
Is it weird that I kinda get a kick out of watching bruises/battle scars develop on me? I always have... even as a kid. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a klutz, and I don't do that sort of thing often. But on the rare occasion when it does happen, they're like badges of honor or temporary tattoos, only different.
I like a good bruise too! I bruise very easily, and if I got the bruise in a good way I like to show it off. They turn cool colors too.
I didn't know where else to put this. Right now I just finished checking this out...someone emailed it to me and it's a real movie. Straight to video, which is SHOCKING.http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1350498/

I once had a roommate who tripped and fell often. I've always been grateful that I'm not klutzy. I lose/break things often, however.
Now, let's discuss this scar & bruise fetish of yours. I'm willing to wager that your fascination with that equals mine with "marks" touching the indentation divots left in skin from tight bands and naps and the like.
Most of my bruises and scars can be explained with great stories. I like to tell a good story, so I'm proud of my scars. Except the weird one on my shoulder; I have to make a new story every time. Knife fight? No, shark attack.
i have lots of scars and battle wounds and most have really good stories and some have great stories because of my wealth of stupidity that caused them. por ejemplo: my front two teeth have been knocked out 4 times (yes, they are fake now), once football, once basketball elbow, once a direct malicious shot to the chops and once by a guitar. anytime you have a stab wound made by a fork it is worth telling
I'm definitely not studying right now.
Are you still in school, Matt?And I am obviously studying. And TCing. Multitasking....
LAST FINAL IN TWO HOURS!
I'm in Las Vegas today. Yes ... I'm working.
Yay! oh... uh, Boo!Oh, and Good Luck Nools!!!!
(You too Matt, just not sure if yours are over or not)

Ha, thanks. I'll be done in a few days. I can't wait to come home. So long, freshman year!
