Did anyone expect Putin to actually lose?
*crickets*
Yeah, me too.

I like that heterosexuality can be scandalous sometimes. ---
After spending days at the American Anthropological Association conference as a newly-minted professional anthropologist, I have never been happier with the course of study that picked me back in the Fall '00 semester.
Even if there are issues relating to other anthros, given that I do military anthropology and that's generally seen as (and I'm dramatically simplifying things here) Working For The Man, Doing Bad Things.
For the record, I don't do Bad Things. Anyone who knows me knows I'm really not capable of Bad Things. I usually even pass on the Not-Nice-But-Understandable Things.

I have a dozen dissertations that I want to write now. I also have a deep curiosity about the BDSM community, given that I know more than a handful of people who are really into that stuff. The fact that I'm going to be reading anthro-related stuff for fun in my off-hours, to say nothing of laying groundwork for grad school and yet more academia, makes me really wonder who this woman that I've turned into is, and what happened to the whimsical melodramatic impulsive girl I used to be.
Seriously, she was fun. Can I be her again, with my money?

I am exhausted, but it isn't yet time to take a rest. I think I can schedule some of that for a week from today. And yet, I wouldn't trade this life I have right now for anything.
