I'm not sure what makes men the way they are, but I've noticed this phenomenon occurs a lot in academia. Nothing makes men (or women, for that matter) want to prove themselves more than a good intellectual wank to see whose is bigger. Whose 'what', however, remains to be determined. Brain? Ego? Cock? All of it combined in an unorthodox position? It's academia! They'll try anything once. *g* In any case, I do hope this thing resolves itself well, or at least moderately so. Though watching out for guilt-trips is a good idea. I know I always fall for those...
I'm so glad you liked my dream. My subconscious ALWAYS makes cracks about my height, I've gotten used to that. (Actually, it did with my dad, too - before I went away to college, he had a dream that I was so tiny, I had to be kept in a glass. But that had to do more with his baby going away than his baby being 5 feet tall...) But I did like that it put you in a beautiful place in Ireland. That was nice. Speaking of which, I hear Boston is LOVELY this time of July... *nudge, nudge, wink, wink* Anyway.
I actually looked at the challenges and succumbed. I've picked out a challenge, now I just have to sign up for it on the 7th. Bad Liz... But thank you for saying that about my story. It's been bothering me a lot lately, and I've been wondering whether or not to finish it at all. Ah, we'll see when I've got more time.
MWAAAAAAAAAH! (Did I beat you? Or is it just me and Ni that play this game? :p)
I think that's a very good reason for not getting involved in academia (sorry, Minx; but I'm sure you know what Liz is talking about).
What an amazing dream! It sounds like a fairy tale. Your subconscious is pretty lively. And I should know by the end of the month whether Boston is a goer or not, so I promise I'll let you know as soon as I do.
And everyone's chosen a challenge but me! Wah. I'll have to get on with it.
You're right, of course, though if I am to go into comparative literature, I will become completely immersed in it. I'm so conflicted! Of course, I'm not actually convinced I should go into a useless subject that will do very few people good, but that's another rant for another time.
And yay! Ok, I will wait. I'll even try to be patient about it. I just have waaaaaay too many plans for y'all to not have this happen. Not that I'm impatient. But anyway. (I was afraid that the plans had completely fallen through, so this is very happy.)
There are so many challenges I KNOW you'd make fantastic. Want me to pick you one? Bwahahahahahahaha!
Love you! MWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Ha!
You've got lots of time to decide what you want to do. It'll all still be there for you next year, or the year after.
I looked at the challenges today again. There are lots and lots of good ones, but at each of them my brain went, 'Nope.' 'Nope.' 'Nope.' I'm trying to stay calm about it... I'm sure I can pick one eventually. I'm just not back into the groove yet... (notice how I'm avoiding committing to getting you to pick the challenge for me...)
Love you too! MWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
