It's March Madness time - I guess. That's what people tell me, anyway. Basketball games are being played at SU, even though SU lost a game and is no longer in the tournament. Well, right now there are obnoxious numbers of people exuding the hegemonic masculine ideal up on my campus. Which means, campus is not safe, AT ALL.

Thanks to everyone who commented about my stabbing/hugging of students.
I have to accept late papers cuz I'm the proletariat TA. So I have to go by the prof's rules. However, today was the last day to turn in late papers. FOUR of our students didn't turn one in - which means they are now failing and it is too late to drop the course....

Regarding the Long Island girl: I think theree may be something genetic there. I have had similar experiences with people from that corner of the world. What I've always wondered is why there always seems to be one know-it-all in every class. If they already know, why are they there?
Sometimes I want to stab my students. Sometimes I want to hug them. Sometimes it's really a toss-up. I don't think they understand how annoying it is to deal with late papers.

Don't take late papers. It just enables all of the slacking that comes with drinking. ^_-
We noticed the other ducky, too. I was really hoping it was going to be another tattooed man, but alas.

My cute little dream house shown in my last journal entry was a disaster.
It smelled of cat pee, the kitchen had NO counters, the stairs were so steep and narrow that we'd never get anything up them. There was no room for my books. There was no room for my kitchen items. Did I mention that it smelled of CAT PEE?! Disgusting. We will...

gwen played your song on snl tonight 

Yesterday I was walking through the parking garage at school and I saw this HUGE lady get out of her ginormous SUV (some Expedition XLT extended crew cab yacht motherfucker thing). She was waddling and smoking and glaring. I looked at her license plate. It said: XCSKIER. Yeah, right.

HA HA! Those vanity plates are a lark, aren't they? My favorites are the ones that say "2cool4u" and that sort of thing.

anything is possible!
I have PMS.
I have to write a paper.
I hate February because it makes my period come later than usual since there are only 28 days in Feb.
I have been eating everything in the grocery store.
I bought my gf a bottle of cologne, but it's a surprise and she doesn't know.

It's funny -
a) apparently she's what's called a "Hasbien"...she still clearly identifies as gay, so I dont totally understand why shes sleeping with me, OR, more realistically, why she's not just saying she's bi. whatever, that's for her to decide.
b) she's originally FROM the 'cuse! Her dad worked there, and she visits every few months.
c) I told her she's crazy too - I said OBVIOUSLY you can be a dyke AND own lots of sexy/pretty underthings - how does she see it's either only one way or the other? who knows!
Anyhow, thanks for your input!

Your kitty looks just like my CatCat. Have I said this before?



Well, that thing I wrote in my last journal entry... I got really great positive feedback on it. The prof loved it. With the exception of a couple of people, most of you didn't read it. SHAME ON YOU!
I am sick. My nose is clogged. I can't hear well. My head hurts. I've been like this for almost a week now. It's really lovely....

I don't have AIM here! You gotta be on Yahoo to tal kto me for the next 2 weeks

I wrote the following as my response paper for my theory class last night. I never post my actual writing in my journal, but I thought I'd do it this once.
It loses some form here - some things are centered and whatnot in the original, but I suppose that's okay. I also lost all my footnotes in here - so you're just going to...
