Hey Alex and Michelle! I tried to do a "Mod" thing and changed the title a little! Those are the only words that I was allowed to fit!
I hope that it makes you two feel at home here as ever!

Tos, Please feel free to adjust the title at will! It was a rush job.

'Tos

The crepe era is back on! *throws confetti!* Hee. Thanks, Betty, it looks great.

We're snowed in again. Luckily we have no plans to go anywhere today or tomorrow, but wow, it is insane out there. Probably another four to six inches of snow last night, and people cannot get out of our cal-de-sac. Yeesh. Someone has their van parked in the middle of it, tried digging out around it, and ultimately gave up. Poor guy.

Thanks, hee. I did get a headache while shopping yesterday if that counts? I think it was all that crappy Christmas music, though.

Wow, that's really cool! Piano from a young age? You're Ephram! Hee. Now you've got to go find a socially inept kid to teach and then share your wisdom on life with him. The violin looks difficult. Can you play the theme from "Schindler's List"? Hee, it's just that I know two people that play the violin, and when people are around, that is what they play that people will know.

Hee, it sounds like we both need to get a job answering in the awkward moment after a prof asks a question. I did that for my whole awesome Shakespeare class; there were only about eleven of us in the whole class, only about five of us showed up, and only two of us answered questions on a regular basis. The prof was great too, so as unfair as it was for him, I kind of really enjoyed being one of the two that actually put my hand up. I felt like such a teacher's pet, hee.

Ha! Oh no, that gets a little creepy to say the least.

You should have said typing at 70 WPM was actually a fluke and you really only type 20 WPM, heh.

Hehe, that sounds like an odd, odd interview! That would totally fit in on something like Friends or Seinfeld. Incompatible interviewer and interviewee where the interviewer doesn't care what the interviewee is saying, and the interviewee doesn't care what the interviewer is saying! Hee. Were you chuckling along while you were typing?

Ooh! All of us English majors would come and take all the books with us!

at the ad!

Thief Of Love

Someday, someone will decide to pipe genuinely good Christmas music through mall and store sound systems. And that person will win the Nobel Peace Prize, for his or her work in preventing crappy-holiday-music-induced rage and violence.

Heh, I'm no Ephram, alas. We've just always had a piano and piano instruction books, so my mother taught me the basics and the instruction books helped fill in the rest. No Schindler's List theme; actually, my favorite pieces to play are jazz/blues, so...I guess that makes me Kyle, but older, a girl, and straight, hee. (Just as sarcastic and socially inept, though.)

Oh, so you were that other person in my Shakespeare class! Hee.

How, er, dedicated are your classmates to their classes? Just curious, because most of the time I was one of a very small percentage of students in a given class who actually did and understood (and enjoyed) the assignments. I figure that apathy is the norm, but I'm just wondering if there are schools where there are more than two or three students in a class who care about what they're doing, hee. (Group projects were always great fun, heh.)

"Oh, that? Oh, yeah, I, um, drank 9 espressos that morning. Made me type like a madwoman but also kept me awake for four days. Had some crazy hallucinations that third night, ha ha! But you still want me to transcribe the tapes? *looks at keyboard* Gee, I don't think...Ack! WHERE'S THE E?! Oh. Wait, now the R...hmm..." *takes twenty more minutes to locate next letter*

Maybe I'll try that next time, hee. Well, maybe not exactly that, because I kind of need to be able to use this guy as a reference, heh.

Heh, it actually really only got funny in retrospect, since the interviewer also kept talking over her subject, which meant I went crazy having to rewind the tape over and over again in an effort to figure out what each person was saying! The best part, though, was probably the fact that the interviewer kept referring to her friendship with the interviewee (they were both researchers from the library), while the interviewee responded to all these asides with an "Uh-huh..."

Sounds like a plan! I'll bring the poetry anthologies, Victorian and 1930s British novels, and time travel fiction; how about you?

BepperGirl

Hi y'all. I'm home. No more warm weather, but it's not too too bad here in NY, so I'm happy. Also just happy to be home, heh.

everwoodfan52

You brought back the warm weather with you, Gaby. The weather is exceptionally mild in NY today.

'Tos

I don't think I've ever seen you on this late, Betty! Christmas miracle? Hee. Oh, I'm annoying!

everwoodfan52

I went to a late Mass....didn't have decaf and now I have a second wind!

'Tos

How was mass? Did you see Gaby? She went too! Wow, wouldn't that be crazy if you happened to go to the same church in such a big region like that? Although I'm sure you didn't go to NY for mass, hee, that would a be a bit weird.

everwoodfan52

No, I don't attend NY masses...I just root for NY teams.

The weather went from frigid the last couple of days to absolutely balmy tonight. I didn't even need my coat! Very strange......but nice.

I really think that I should go to sleep now......it's almost time to wake up!

'Tos

Probably a good idea. I'm tired, and it's three hours earlier here! Have a great night and a great Christmas.

BepperGirl

Plus, I'm in upstate NY (well, mid-state, to be more accurate as I'm from Albany).

Merry Christmas, Everwoodians!

everwoodfan52

I have a friend who recently graduated from Rensalair University in Troy, NY. Is that where you live, Gaby?

buffyannAlex

about the title ! Merry Christmas everyone !

BepperGirl

I think you mean Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (sometimes called Rensselaer, but I usually abbreviate it to RPI), and it's near where I live, yes. RPI is about seven miles from my mom's new apartment. I did this special program called New Visions in my senior year of high school and our graduation was in the student union at RPI. I also did a three-week science enrichment program between 8th and 9th grades at RPI. I'm still friends with one girl I met there. Also I saw the Hush Sound, Panic at the Disco, Phantom Planet, and Motion City Soundtrack at the RPI Field House last May.

Okay, I'm done listing my associations with the college

everwoodfan52

Well, Gaby, it's definitely an excellent college to be associated with!
