ZOMG, it is a social life

Oct 30, 2007 23:00

I'm starting to find my niche! I'm starting to find my niche! Woot woot! The Tech Squares, and the twinkies, and the hackers, and the Alpha Phi Omega -- and today, I turned down an invitation to dinner because I have really way too much studying to do tonight, and I was disappointed! I don't think that's happened in years, maybe a few times in all ( Read more... )

squee, apo, school

Big big happy, but...seriously...you exceeded your "!" quota for the *year* just in this one post.
BTW, just had a 5.6 quake near Milpitas, and the newsdroid said they were "efforting our team there" so they could give us coverage.
Efforting. Efforting.
Some things are just NOT RIGHT. (even though you are not a prescriptivist.)

No, I didn't. Bang-quotas reset partway after each sentence, so whereas one sentence!!!!! overloads the bang quota, five! separate! sentences! like! this! do not. And I get to use as many bangs as I like in a post like this, that's tagged `squee' for a reason.

Yeah, I heard about the quake. Much damage anywhere, or was it too small for that?

`Efforting', eh? That's comprehensible but highly marginal ATM; give it another decade and it might well be as mainstream as `xeroxing'. *shrug* (And yes, fwiw, some things are just not right; I'm not a rabid "native speakers NEVER make mistakes" descriptivist. Mostly I agree with the writers of Language Log.)

No damage I'm aware of, though T was happy to have been awake and sentient during his first significant event. The *hope* in the eyes of the newsdroids that some disaster had occurred was truly pathetic.

Syntax-Cat disagrees with your perverse BNF rulez. Deal.

Bus to NJ plan? Please to inform self and Madison residents.

Ta-ta.

I got a Greyhound bus ticket -->NYC, and emailed Mom the confirmation...twice. If she hasn't got it yet I don't know what's up.

Well, here, APO is pretty niche, so problem solved :D

What have I been up to? Working, working, working. With occasional interludes of recreation, but mostly working.
