back to school

Your sign of frustration is....Ignoring! Instead
of dealing with problems, you ignore them.
Your theory to problems, is that if I pretend
they are not there, they'll disappear.
Sometimes this method can work, but most of the
time it doesn't. For a variety sometime, try
using one of the other methods, which are
discussed in this quiz. It might feel good!


What sign of frustration are you?

What a shock :)

Back at school, doing ADR full time. It's interesting and useful stuff, but a little tiring.

I am very pleased to find out that I won't be working with my idiot negotiation partner from December the whole month, though. We only do one negotiation together, and then I'm free as a bird. I'll either be working in groups/partnerships I choose, or in one-shot assignments where my mark is separate from any of the other participants. Phew.

Although the 'working with friends' thing made me wonder today. There's two other mature students I usually hang out with, and they're nice enough but one of them always seems a little off. Like, she'll focus on something totally irrelevant or wholly tangential from class as the main subject. We were working as a trio this morning and she did it again, and I realized that while this habit of hers is slightly puzzling and somewhat amusing when we're just chatting, it's really rather bothersome when you're trying to get something done.

The nicest thing about today so far: I got to take notes on my Palm! I felt so geeky. Unfortunately, since my fingers aren't used to the tiny keyboard yet, I got phrases like "The poinjt of doing thse exercsies is not to cgallop to a conclusion". I hope toi mporve to improve.

I need to get my damn car fixed. The electrical system is crapping out, and the brakes are squealing and giving up too. Not a good combo when the temperatures are freezing and the streets icy. Not to mention our radio doesn't work, tape player eats tapes, and time/radio station display has been gone for over a year.

There are few things as boring as Contracts or Property readings. ADR readings, astonishingly, manage to out-bore them both.

Gloria Steinem and Orlando Bloom To Wed!

MAN, why doesn't lj have an emoticon for LMAO??

Here's two memes, the first copied from shellmidwife and the second from misstexan9821.


You are Gloria Steinem. You are the McDonalds(tm)
of liberal feminism, though you used to expouse
some pretty radical ideas, you ended up working
the system. Because it's easier? Maybe. But
thanks for the only mainstream feminist
magazine and for heading one of the most
significant feminist lobbys in the history of
the US. We wouldn't be where we are without NOW
and Ms., as much as some of us are loathe to
admit it.


Which Western feminist icon are you?

You are going to Marry orlando Bloom. He will
always treat you right and is very romantic. He
will do anything for you. He is very polite and
has deep brown eyes and is very good looking
(which is another plus!). He can make anythind
cheesy look really good (like sliding down
stairs on a shield shooting arrows or wearing
pointy ears for example). Congrats!!

And now I'm off to bed. Will fall asleep, for the fifth night in a row, to Men in Black. The first, of course. There can be only one.


"But why the big secret? People are smart, they can handle it."

"Are you here to make fun of me too?"
