EDIT: Dialogue between me and Liz, my roomie–
Me: I’m doing something I haven’t done since high school.
Liz: What?
Me: I’m reading SparkNotes instead of the book.
Liz: Wow, you’ve reached a new low. I’m so proud of you!
This post brought to you by my local friendly Panera Bread Company. I think everywhere should have free wireless; I go to Panera a lot more than I would if they didn’t have free wireless. It’s a great marketing technique, I think. Earlier there was this cute boy in his early teens talking to someone older, probably a mentor or something, about his girl troubles. Apparently one of his friends who’s a girl is upset because she’s not one of his “top 8” on MySpace but this other girl, whom the first girl doesn’t particularly like, is. The guy wants to “go with” the first girl but doesn’t want to hurt the second girl’s feelings by taking her off his top 8. (If you don’t know what I’m talking about by either “top 8” or MySpace, you’re so out of the cool loop that I don’t think I can help you.) Drama, drama, drama! Life’s too short to get bent out of shape by your position on someone’s MySpace list.
Anywho, I have nothing profound to say today, so I’ll just post this survey I filled out earlier this evening while killing time in the Writing Center. I signed up for Monday nights because we weren’t busy during that time last semester, but this semester we’re even less busy, and 2 and a half hours passes by really slowly when there are no inept writers to help. So read, enjoy, and leave me some love!
