So I had a mock interview today, which is cool, because in... let's see... eleven days I have six eight for-real interviews ( Read more... )

**loves on you**

As well you should. *g*

Apparently I have become capable of performing maturity without noticing it.

So does this mean maturity is performative, or just a masquerade?

Also, we all told you so.

sisabet December 17 2004, 21:35:09 UTC

We so did.

YOU SENT ME CDs!!! You sent me UNCLE TUPELO!!! I love you so much it's making me abuse exclamation points AND the capslock key!!!

And now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go listen to "Moonshiner" on repeat about 700 times. (Have I sent you Jeff Foucault's version of that song? It's just as good, and somehow really different.)

sisabet December 19 2004, 18:11:09 UTC

YAY! You got your package. You are the hardest person in the world to CD shop for, BTW, cause I am always convinced you have everything. But I did not think that you had *this* because of it being an anthology and I bought it this summer and loved it so...

And I do not have the Foucalt version of "Moonshiner" - I would love to hear it.

Good luck to you! Just remember, when they ask you about your diss: you know more about the subject than anyone in that room ;).*

*Looks at calendar* Let me guess: MLA, right?

*also good advise for defenses.

heresluck December 19 2004, 17:14:07 UTC

MLA indeed. Geek meat market! This should be fun. Yeah, fun. In a headachey sort of way.

That's not a crash and burn. That's a minor bobble.

Go Team You!

heresluck December 19 2004, 17:17:23 UTC

Well, not really a MINOR bobble, since it's the single most important guaranteed-to-be-asked question. But, you know, nobody died.

In conclusion: kittens!

Love you madly.

You *will* make time in your busy life to meet me for breakfast or something, right? I gather your first semester of college has been tremendously eventful, and I'm having this urge to buy you a muffin, hear all about it, and look alternately encouraging and skeptical about the whole thing. Pity I don't wear glasses to look at you over the tops of.

_swallow December 19 2004, 17:18:21 UTC

Yes, of course. Just let me know when and I'll come into the city.

_swallow December 20 2004, 18:56:13 UTC

P.S., I require your address, sweet lady! I need to send the House of Geeks an Xmas card.
