Pam, it was all in the name of good-natured razzing. You know, one of those 'chill out, it's not the end of the world' kind of comments. We're all in pretty deep right now, those of us with exams and those of us without (and I don't just mean me) - hence the wink after the comment about judging people based on exams. I didn't think it deserved to elicit a 'fuck off' from you, but if you're really that stressed, then okay, I will 'fuck off.'


perhaps my comment about going out partying wasn't called for, but I'm tired of hearing - from a whole pile of us - that no one wants to go where the others of us want to go. Sometimes we have to make concessions for the better good - if we want to hang out with our friends. And sometimes we have other plans and we don't want to go out with a particular group of friends, and that's fine too. I just think we all need to - at times - work in some compromises, and then respect eachother, instead of being disappointed because someone among us has chosen a sportsbar, or an irish pub or whatever other sort of place ends up getting chosen. The point is not the venue, it's the friends who go. or maybe I'm missing the point.

and besides, Pam, this part wasn't supposed to be specifically criticizing you, I think it's something everyone here needs to think about - myself included - that maybe the point of going out sometimes, whether it's chili's or whatever scruffy murphy's is called now, or the plant, is not to go to a rockin' place, but to hang out with friends.


and maybe I'm just speaking my mind because I can't really speak my mind in other areas of my life right now, and i figured my friends would be able to take a little shit from me now and then. and hell, if I'm burning bridges at work, why not everywhere? ;)


Mary- I'll see if I can join you on Thursday, it was so much fun just to be in that environment last weekend, I'll try my best to join you.

As for Friday/Saturday (I think I've lost the actual plans...) I don't know that I'm free but we'll see... Jeremy deserves some fun for his b-day.

How odd, Jess. I have not had that problem at all, either with Firefox or (admittedly, an emulated version of) Internet Explorer. Has anyone else seen this problem?

So I got an email this morning from the contact form:

From: Ortega(ortega_f@mail15.com)

Dear Webmaster,
We have several hotel websites and we are looking for webmasters with sites of similar content.
I think a link exchange will be mutually beneficial. If you are interested please contact me and I will give you all the relevant details.
If we got the wrong person please pass this on to your webmaster so he can deal with our request.

Kind Regards,

Pam - I am going out with my mom Friday night but I may stop by your place later.

Paras - the login thing only works if you click the "Remember me" thingie. And it never remembers me but that may be my family's quasi-religious removal of spyware/cookie things. I'm not complaining, just thought you might want to know.

Taylor - Yeah, I took a directed reading class this semester. I had a topic I was interested in studying that wasn't offered by this university and I knew a prof who just happened to doing her PhD in that topic so I asked her if she would be willing to teach me a class in it. She did most of the administrative stuff. The class was a directed reading study so I did most of the work on my own, emailed her my papers, and we met once every week or two. So I guess if I were you I'd come up with a topic that you would want to study, then find a prof who might be interested, or at least qualified, to teach you that topic. They'll tell you where to go from there. I'd get on it pretty quick though. Hope that's helpful.

Okay... I like the idea of having a soccer game on Saturday too!!!! Kuz I really, REALLY need to have a game. And I think Jsese will back me up for the Saturday game idea.

As for Friday, I could probably totally meet up with everyone at Pam's house after I work. Pam, is that okay? I work till like 10:30 and probably won't be over till like 11? How late is this going?

I sense some tension here, but on a lighter note, I'll be at the Constantines concert on friday, so I am unfortunatly unable to join you for one of the best games ever invented. ciao

Tay - i'm sure we could still play soccer on saturday at some time or rather
But i can't have people over saturday night- so that part is out
but we can play friday and saturday - anyone interested?
