No joke, Rob. :( Ugh... I wish I could just go back to bed and start these last few weeks all over. :( Somehow I have to get by without having a paycheck for over a month... and still manage to get a deposit down on a new place in Nashville..... :banghead Thank you, academia. Your payroll department...

I don't vote for people based on the flavor of their religion... ..... I suppose I vote on them based on the character the mass media does the best to portray them to be. It feels like such a sham these days. You NEVER know who you are really voting for since they all pretend to fence sit to get the...

It seems like so many things keep happening around my life. I honestly feel like I live in some sort of soap opera sometimes. I don't know how to summarize this very well... but I've known a lot of people who have died personally. Cancer, car wrecks, suicides, murders... Is this normal and people ju...

Mississippi, USA.

90s, sunny. Perfect Jeep-top-down kind of weather.

Egypt. It's been a goal of mine since I learned to write in hieroglyphs in 6th grade. (Hieroglyphs are phonetic....so I can write them in English...I don't know too many words in Egyptian Arabic, not to mention the ancient dialect...." I don't see that happening too soon, though. They need to c...

I have two amazing dogs, both siberian huskies. They are my world. <3 Shaqua and Journey https://fbcdn-sphotos-f-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/t1.0-9/1922330_10100411824033701_792235414_n.jpg https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/t1.0-9/1238784_10100269177922651_654491415_n.jpg htt...

I'm in academia. I work my ass off teaching hundreds of young adult minds every semester, doing original and important scientific research on speleothem geochemistry, and of course take classes. I guess if you consider I don't have to pay for my tuition it is quite nice, but in the end my take home ...

I make a lot of things

In fact, I make these:

Dang, I only got an 89/141. I used to know all of them.... Four years ago I had a world geography professor that would give us blank maps every week for a quiz and I knew all of them. *sigh*. Guess I should study again. Use it or lose it for sure!

What is WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!?!??!

I like it HOT HOT HOT! :)

Especially if she knew how you felt, if she didn't feel the same she was selfish by not distancing herself and continuing to hurt you. That's not how these things should ever work. If she was deliberately leading him on then sure, that's selfish. But that pretty clearly was not the case here. She h...

I've hit a few deer (they are very common where I lived), been rear ended twice (once by a girl on her cell and the second while I was parked in a ditch on a highway, out of the car and on the other side helping another drive who had crashed). I also T-boned someone once and hit a parked car, teleph...

One of my pet peeves working in appliances: "So, if I kick this refrigerator and put a dent in it, can I get it on discount?" ...Yeah, I haven't heard that 100x by stupid imbeciles like yourself. *sigh* Or when I was a line leader at Domino's Pizza and had to go out for the occasional deli...

Crushes and infatuation grow out of curiosity. Love grows out of familiarity. I'll try to explain this. When you first fall for someone, you're not really falling for them, you're falling for your idea of them. You've only seen her at work, you're not extremely familiar with her yet. It's exciting,...

I worked in retail for so long I have many stories I could tell. Ha ha. When I was a manager of the Lowe's flooring dept: My associate approaches a couple in the vinyl tile aisle looking at some tiles Associate: "How are you doing today, looking for some flooring?" Husband: "Yeah, may...

I personally don't like it, but it seems only logical to legalize it and tax it. We spend too much money on enforcement of a substance that doesn't have that many victims (as compared to alcohol, for example). There will always be idiots who abuse it and make a stupid mistake but you can't control t...

Sounds like a blast, enjoy! :)

I am currently OBSESSED with this entire series and world. Silence of the Lambs is, of course, a beautiful piece of theatrical art. I recently watched Hannibal Rising and OMG it really makes you start to just LOVE Hannibal as a character as you understand where he came from. Now I've been watching t...

If you read the article, about half.

"A recent analysis of BJS data, for example, turned up that 46 percent of male victims reported a female perpetrator."
