you ain't a beauty but hey, you're all right

Accidentally bought a Diet Mountain Dew out of the pop machine instead of a regular one. It does not remotely taste like regular Dew at all and is, in fact, making me more thirsty. You know how good cold water tastes after you've been running around at soccer practice or whatnot? That is what the water fountain will taste like on break.

Also we have ( Read more... )

Is this the Fundamentalism class again? With the lack of lecture notes and the no boys allowed sign?

tears_of_nienna April 3 2009, 01:26:09 UTC

Nope--ALL of my classes are this fun. :D

I'm writing my final paper on the image of women and libraries for the Fundamentalism Foundations course, though. My friend Laura and I have just decided to go gleeful uber-feminist over the whole thing. With any luck, we'll be tossed in with some of the class's conservatives for paper critiques...

Hooray? :D

Ooh... I should be quite interested to read this paper when it is finished.

tears_of_nienna April 3 2009, 02:15:07 UTC

Well, it is probably going to be a terrible paper. :) Unless I really do wind up expanding it and making it into my thesis, in which case I'll be glad to share it!

They live to mindfuck us, Sarah. LIVE FOR IT. I swear to god. -__-

tears_of_nienna April 3 2009, 01:24:01 UTC

Mindfuckery is not a fun kind of fuckery. *commiserates*

sarahsan April 3 2009, 01:24:55 UTC

It isn't. And when they could be engaging in the FUN kinds, I just don't see why they bother with the un-fun kinds. >:(

I feel I should point out that it's not just my gender that likes to confuse the other :/

Extroverts? Really? Okay, so my Kent grad friend is an Extrovert in the extreme once you get to know her, and has no problem getting up in front of total strangers to sing (and dance) karaoke, etc. But... What does being an extrovert have to do with organization skills, memory for details, love for the subject, computer skills, being polite and rational with patrons that *aren't*, and having the balls to bounce those irrational patrons to the curb? There's a lot more to running a good library than popularity.

OMG. I am NEVER GOING TO STOP LAUGHING. The Benny Hill music just makes it even more awesome. :D

neumeindil April 3 2009, 04:39:11 UTC

YAY! I am not the only Twenty-something to recognize the Benny Hill Music!!!! The minute it started playing I said, "Hey that's the Benny Hill theme... and dog-game my parents for forcing me to watch that shit."

I feel somewhat less of an uber-geek. (But only a little.)

I say we introverts should take over the world, just to prove we can. Also, even if you grant the premise for the sake of argument, "you have to be an extravert" assumes that there is only one kind of library (ie busy and noisy). What about special archives? University research libraries, which never look that busy when I see them? Museum libraries where you spend most of your day cataloging and indexing the ancient collection?
