So every now and then someone asks me, "what is grad school like?" Here is my reply:
When you are in grad school you do so much work that you can't do anything else. You drink so much coffee that you have to take pills to go to sleep. Your sleep is always drug induced, so when the fire alarm goes off in your building...

Flirting with the check-out boy at Trader Joe's is my new favorite form of stress relief. What's yours?

Which Trader Joe's. I used to frequent the Hollywood one frequently. My stress relief is comic books.
I am not with the organization for radical librarians, though many of my friends are. While I consider myself liberal (voted for Nader twice), sometimes I think the Champaign chapter is a little too knee-jerky. I really believe that it is a librarians duty to try to understand all sides of any issue before making judgements. Librarian are supposed to give unbiased information to our patrons, and if we are close-minded in any sense, we do them a disservice.

I'm back from VEEEEEEEGAS! That was fun. I popped my Vegas cherry and it was great. We got lap dances from the greatest girl EVER. She was so rad.
And, it rained...in Vegas...while I was there. Is there something about me and rain?
Oh, and I'm a real LADY...at least that is what the general said. Awwwww yeah...I'm a lady.
I only lost $0.50, which...

No more septum ring...I'm taking it out. At this point, it just makes me agggggggro, what with the allergies that I've developed since I moved to smogtown. Say goodbye. Now I can blend in as a productive member of society. Well, until I take my shirt off. Muahahahahaha!
Please post procrastination fodder for me...I'm writing a paper.

After spending the whole day learning about things such as hirsutism and antiepileptic drugs, I'll be working on a paper while everyone else has a blast.
Screw off!

Viking helmet? Two dollars? Sounds like a cross between those two fabulous John Cusack flicks, "One Crazy Summer" and "Better Off Dead."
*Chases after you screaming "I WANT MY TWO DOLLARS!!!"*
*runs into a "loading zone" sign*
I have no clue as to how you were bruised or managed to earn $2, but I believe your helmet was broken as you were goring someone. I think one of my bruises came from that, although I don't think you broke your helmet on me.

If these bruises are un-explained, then its probably a sign of your death. You know, like one of those signs from god that someday soon, something bad is going to happen. WATCH YOUR BACK!

oh shut up... you know you're totally welcome in sgla... the only real rule is that you meet ppl first and prove your non-creepiness (which you've already done a few times). it's not a "cooler than thou" approach, but an unfortunate side effect of having some really creepy stuff happen to some of the girls (models & members). apply again.

I really don't know the last time I was this hung-over. I was scared to even drive my car. I also passed out in the library and nodded off in class while watching a film about World War II.
Furthermore, when is this damn MTA strike going to end?

I have no freaking idea how the hell I ended up in the condition I was in: no hangover, totally alert. Bizarre. I hope your hangover didn't last too terribly long. Are you coming out tonight? It should be fun.
...and thanks...you rock.

Foo. I'm sure you're the coolest person in many situations. Well, have fun at your grad student nerdfest-thingy. If it ends sometime before 2am and you find yourself with a surprising amount of energy and wanting to go out, give LTrain a call.
The pic of yours of the cat is hilarious.
