One of my old friends that I used to talk to a lot online just had a baby. Yay, Xakana! We haven't talked in a year or so, though, which makes me sad. Don't you hate that? You just sort of quit talking, and it's all *is sad*. I knew she and her husband had been trying for a baby, but I didn't even know she was pregnant until she just posted on VJB that she gave birth last Sunday to a daughter.

Anyway. *Is happy for her.*

My brother bought the Pets thing for Sims 2, so now the computer is even slower. Grr.

I've got a math quiz and a chemistry quiz, the chemistry one over stuff that I was gone both lecture days for and as such I have no idea what we're even doing. And a history project bit due Friday that I really have to find the time to do. And a chemistry lab that evidently was due today that I totally didn't realize we even had to write up. At least my teacher finally coughed up my lab book. She kept claiming that all the books she had were in the folders at the back of the room, and suddenly mine appeared by (though not in) the folders today. Hmm. I wonder. She better not bitch about my lab being late, seeing as how I had to write it all on loose leaf paper and try to keep track of all the info separately because I didn't have the book.

Which mean almost the same thing anyway

Exactly. You can just say you have a very complex thought system, which is why you will be making bucketloads of money as an expert in the medical field, while they are bumming around at home... wait, what was I talking about again? *scratches head* I got completely sidetracked just then. Um... go me?

Tina Fey is so on my must sex list

I thought that said "Tiny Fey is so on my mum's sex list." *headdesk*
That's waaaaay worse than the Spanish teacher thing! *giggles*

And Tina Fey is hot

I am inclined to agree.

I would if I were you

I did! And I like it! I made myself and I got a degree in Psychology *nods*.

oh, you don't have that, do you? We'll say end of November then

Hee, thanks. Is Thanksgiving a fixed date? Is it the 28th? *crosses fingers*

Exactly. Though sometimes I would like to spend time bumming around at home. I would like to be a selectively working doctor. Like House. I'd show up to work because I had to, but I'd take my laptop into the chapel and read femslash and play computer games between cases.

I thought that said "Tiny Fey is so on my mum's sex list." *headdesk*

Ewww. *giggles* Yeah. No. Creepy. *shakes head to dislodge grossness* LOL.

I made myself and I got a degree in Psychology

Cool. For some reason, the people in the latest family thing that I made all want literature. I don't know why. It's annoying me. And they are against doing political science, which I'm a fan of.

Hey, and I made you too. Okay, that sounds creepy. I didn't really make you, persay, I was just searching for a name and I had just been replying stuff to you, so I was like "Cathryn. Sounds good."

Is Thanksgiving a fixed date? Is it the 28th?

No, I'm pretty sure that it's just the 4th week of November. (I definitely just typed the 4th surgery of November. Okay. That was odd. People in my chem class were talking about research on mice, that must have been why.) 23 November this year.

Story as to why:
It used to be up to the president to issue a proclamation declaring when Thanksgiving would fall, it was just some Thursday in November, but Franklin Delano Roosevelt (pretty kick ass president all around, IMO)'s first Thanksgiving in office (1933) fell on November 30th, the last day of the month, because November had five Thursdays that year. Statistics showed that people didn't do their Christmas shopping until after Thanksgiving so business leaders freaked out, thinking they would lose money, especially during the Depression, because there wouldn't be as many shopping days if Thanksgiving was the last day of November. Business leader guys asked FDR to make Thanksgiving one week earlier. FDR ignored them in 1933 but it looked like it was going to happen again in 1939 (because he was in office for like 50 years) so he moved the date of Thanksgiving up one week.

Yeah. Um, I looked that up for some reason earlier in the month and managed to remember it because I thought it was kind of funny. And FDR was, IMO, America's best president, so knowing stuff about him is cool.

but I'd take my laptop into the chapel and read femslash and play computer games between cases.

Hehehe. I don't know what I would do. Probably bum around in my office, or maybe possibly hang around patients, checking up on them and stuff. Hearing their life stories, you know. *blink*

I was just searching for a name

*giggles* Okay. And I suck at making up names, so I mostly steal them from people I know. *Puts Alexandria on list of names*

I definitely just typed the 4th surgery of November

Haha, I hate it when that happens.

Interesting/amusing Thanksgiving story, by the way. I'm not sure what made me think the 28th.

[crashcart9.livejournal.com]

Probably bum around in my office, or maybe possibly hang around patients, checking up on them and stuff. Hearing their life stories, you know.

Flirting with the nurses. . . . ;)
That'd be okay if they were smart patients and you could talk about things that are interesting. Dumb patients high on PCP that only know two phrases "You ain't gonna do that to me" and "(insert string of expletives here)" would tick me off. But I would probably do the same thing.

*Puts Alexandria on list of names*

I feel special.

I hate it when that happens.

Because everybody types surgery instead of November so often. XD

Interesting/amusing Thanksgiving story, by the way. I'm not sure what made me think the 28th.

Well, new House episode is on on the 28th. NCIS also, I assume. We'll say that was it.

[chaosity.livejournal.com]

Flirting with the nurses. . .

LOL. I forgot to mention that one.

Dumb patients high on PCP that only know two phrases "You ain't gonna do that to me" and "(insert string of expletives here)" would tick me off.

Oh yes. I'd casually avoid those rooms, or just as casually slip some sedatives into them. Because I'm SUCH a rebel.

I feel special.

Not as special as you'll feel when I tell you you were in my dream last night. Or is that just creepy? *shrugs*
It was fun. You were in my SOSE class with me! I remember because the teacher was bald and my SOSE teacher is bald. And I knew it was you because you had red hair, and I just... knew. Y'know how dreams are. Anyway, the class was seated in pairs and we were next to each other, and it's a bit fuzzy, but I think you were contradicting him and stuff. I was giggling, because it was awesome. And I think I was encouraging you, and also joining you in your argument *giggles*. And then the dream changed and I was at work, and you were still there. Then it just got... odd. It was one of those dreams that go on and on and keep changing and overlapping and stuff. It started out Chase-centric, which is strange.
Anyway, weird/good dream!

Because everybody types surgery instead of November so often.

Haha, of course.

new House episode is on on the 28th

*gasp* It is too! Must remind Rachell to search for the episode tomorrow after school. It won't air until tomorrow morning for me.

NCIS also

Any day now the DVD store is going to call me and tell me my NCIS S1 DVDs are ready to be picked up. I am happy. I only like seasons one and two. You know why *nods*. Kate.

[crashcart9.livejournal.com]

Or is that just creepy?

Nah, I'm not creeped out easily. Tis very flattering!

I just... knew. Y'know how dreams are.

Exactly. Like how I knew exactly why my mother was crying in my dream even though there was nothing more than that.

I think you were contradicting him and stuff. I was giggling, because it was awesome. And I think I was encouraging you, and also joining you in your argument *giggles*.

LOL, *dies*! That's so cool. Because I so would do that if he was wrong. My civics/US government class year before last was all about that because the teacher was not very informed about her subject /puts it diplomatically. So my friend Katie and I would take turns telling her that she was wrong and then the teacher would look to the other one of us and we'd nod in support and it was hilarious because we eventually just started making things up. Like "No, that law actually doesn't apply anymore. It got changed by this rider bill on the bit of the Iranian parliamentary charter that we just adopted that allows for purple wigs to be worn in Congress." Though not quite that outrageous.

then the dream changed and I was at work, and you were still there.

Hee, working. Cool. Yay me there to distract you from your work.

It started out Chase-centric, which is strange.

Yeah, a bit, lol. Chase. I'm not so much a fan of him. Jesse Spencer seems to be a bit weird. Like in the House Unplugged thing where he was all "is this already part of the interview? Is this on the record?" like he was worried about it getting reported or whatever when everybody else was just like "Hi! [insert tiny bit of spanish that that actor knows here] What do you want to ask me?"

It won't air until tomorrow morning for me.

Does it actually air on your TV that quickly? I thought that you guys were like months behind or something.

Any day now the DVD store is going to call me and tell me my NCIS S1 DVDs are ready to be picked up.

Whoo! I'm a fan of that season. Yay, Kate. I have a hard time picking which seasons I like better, though, because I like Ziva and Jenny a lot too. Still, Kate rocked. It needs to be Jenny and Ziva and Kate and Abby all in the same timeline. I find that I really enjoy fics where she wasn't killed but the new guys still came. Because yay, Kate/Abby Ziva/Jenny.

[chaosity.livejournal.com]

I'm not creeped out easily

Me neither. *high five*

Tis very flattering!

Well, I'm glad! =)

Because I so would do that if he was wrong

I know! That's why you were doing it in my dream. Because I know you wouldn't just sit there and let him teach the wrong stuff.

the teacher was not very informed about her subject /puts it diplomatically

*giggles*

then the teacher would look to the other one of us and we'd nod in support

Lol, that's a funny/cute mental picture. I might have been doing the same thing in the dream, I don't really remember. I have a feeling it would have been you talking and me sitting there nodding like a maniac.

And lol at the making stuff up. Cheeky.

Yay me there to distract you from your work.

Yay indeed. Though I think my mind was elsewhere anyway. 'Elsewhere' meaning I was seeing how many people I could proposition before the shift was out

I'm not so much a fan of him

It's a love/hate relationship between us. At the moment I think he's okay, because I've been watching S2 episodes in which he is nearly human.

I thought that you guys were like months behind or something

Oh, misunderstandings. My bad. I meant it will be morning for us when the new episode airs for you. Season three hasn't even started for us yet. And it probably won't until Frebruary. Sad. Only I don't care because I have episodes on DVD.

Because yay, Kate/Abby Ziva/Jenny.

The Awesome Foursome! Yay!

And yay, Kate.

[crashcart9.livejournal.com]

Because I know you wouldn't just sit there and let him teach the wrong stuff.

Exactly. *nods*

I have a feeling it would have been you talking and me sitting there nodding like a maniac.

Hee, yay. That'd be so much fun. I've been thinking about stuff like that lately, (Upon rereading, this seems very off topic, but it made sense in my head) because the Costa Rican exchange students are at our school, but the girls are all dumb and just hang out with each other and instant message their families and such. I was like "You know, if I my mom had paid for me to go to a different country to work on whatever foreign language and I spent all my time talking to her and my friends in english, she'd kick my ass for wasting her money." And then I thought about how I totally wouldn't do that, and my example in my head was if I went over and hung out with you, because I'd actually hang out with you and not be all snobby and annoying. For example. Today, one of my friends that's hosting one of them (the worst one for the snobness and talking to friends/family the entire time, I've heard) made lunches for the both of them, you know? And then the exchange student decides she wants to buy her lunch from the cafeteria. Umm, so where's your money? The hoster had to go ask somebody else to buy the lunch on promise of paying them back and ended up missing like half of her lunch because she had to sort that all out. Though the situation was handy for me because I got offered the exchange student's packed lunch that she didn't want, jeeze! *shakes head* /story

'Elsewhere' meaning I was seeing how many people I could proposition before the shift was out

Oh, no way. Seriously? Wicked.

I meant it will be morning for us when the new episode airs for you.

Gotcha. Indeed it will/is/was. <- See Alexandria. See Alexandria conjugate. See Alexandria conjugate 'to be'.

*looks up* Yeah, I don't know what that was. It's 11:50ish in the PM now, if that's any excuse. Not really, though.

[chaosity.livejournal.com]

this seems very off topic, but it made sense in my head

No, no, no, no, off-topic is awesome. Where else would the conversation go? We'd be going around in circles! Or, worse, hit a dead end!

the girls are all dumb and just hang out with each other and instant message their families and such.

That's pretty stupid. Aren't they there to experience what it's like to be an American student? I totally wouldn't do that. I mean, sure, if I was from a completely foreign country and didn't know hardly any english I'd probably feel a little out-of place and homesick, and then I'd like to keep in touch with my family, but... not all the time. I'd still love to learn as much as I could about the way things work in that country.

if I went over and hung out with you, because I'd actually hang out with you and not be all snobby and annoying

And then I could Australianize you! ...*snort*
But yeah. I know you wouldn't do that. I reckon you'd be all with the learning and asking questions. And answering questions. And correcting other people's answers. *giggles*
I think it'd be awesome to host an exchange student. Even though I suck with the whole communication thing when it comes to people who know hardly any english or have really really heavy accents.

And then the exchange student decides she wants to buy her lunch from the cafeteria. Umm, so where's your money? The hoster had to go ask somebody else to buy the lunch on promise of paying them back and ended up missing like half of her lunch because she had to sort that all out.

That's, um, fucked up.

I got offered the exchange student's packed lunch

Haha, well, I guess that's an up-side! Not for your friend though. I'd be so pissed off if I was her.

Oh, no way. Seriously?

Yeah, serious. I still sort of remember it. It was rather strange. My boss would tell me to do something and I'd see another employee or a customer and be all "Yeah, I'm just going to hit on them now." It was pretty amusing. Luckily the dream ended before I got around to my boss. That would have been more disturbing than amusing. *shudder*

Gotcha. Indeed it will/is/was. <- See Alexandria. See Alexandria conjugate. See Alexandria conjugate 'to be'.

*suppresses giggle*

[crashcart9.livejournal.com]

Where else would the conversation go? We'd be going around in circles! Or, worse, hit a dead end!

That would be horrible, wouldn't it? I love how we manage to keep convos going for like 4 months. With long pauses in there, but still going. *hugs us*

Aren't they there to experience what it's like to be an American student?

That's what I thought.

I mean, sure, if I was from a completely foreign country and didn't know hardly any english I'd probably feel a little out-of place and homesick, and then I'd like to keep in touch with my family, but... not all the time. I'd still love to learn as much as I could about the way things work in that country.

Exactly. I know I'd be freaked and spend time talking to my family, because me and change don't get along at all, but it would suck to spend all your time there. I'd at least do everything that they arranged for me to do and try to hang out and learn stuff. Like english.

And then I could Australianize you! ...*snort* But yeah. I know you wouldn't do that. I reckon you'd be all with the learning and asking questions. And answering questions. And correcting other people's answers.

Exactly. Totally would. Twould be great. I wouldn't be able to throw off the accent for weeks after I got back. Because I'm like that. It'd be an American accented accent, if that makes sense, but it'd be stuck in my head forever.

Even though I suck with the whole communication thing when it comes to people who know hardly any english or have really really heavy accents.

I'm always so afraid that I'll unconsciously start imitating their accent (because, again, something that I do) but, you know, it won't be good, so they'd either laugh because it sucked or think I was either making fun of them. Which would be sad. I don't usually have a problem understanding them, though. Unless it's over the phone. Because the phone garbles things.

My boss would tell me to do something and I'd see another employee or a customer and be all "Yeah, I'm just going to hit on them now." It was pretty amusing.

Odd. But my dreams of late have been. . . interesting, to say the least, so I can't talk.

[chaosity.livejournal.com]

I love how we manage to keep convos going for like 4 months

Hee, I know, isn't it great? I was just reminded of one of your entries, where we've posted so many comments the whole page has had to expand to the right to fit them all! It's this (http://crashcart9.livejournal.com/172800.html) one. 45 comments! And still going!

Yeah, I just like knowing that I can do the HTML for hyperlink-things and stuff.

*hugs us*

*giggles* interesting mental picture. *hugs us also* Four-way hugging! It's like a mini-cluster of Alexandrias and Cathryns.

I'd be freaked and spend time talking to my family, because me and change don't get along at all

Same here. I just realised that I was misleading in my previous comment, when I said I'd only talk to them when I'm homesick. I'd actually keep in touch regularly. How could you not? I meant I wouldn't spend every spare moment talking to them. Plenty of opportunities to do that here.

[another off-topic thing (I'm full of those right now): I'm writing another Cameron/Cuddy fic! And I think I'll look in my file to see what other ones I don't want to burn and sendsendsend them to my Beta, a.k.a., you]

I wouldn't be able to throw off the accent for weeks after I got back

Hee, that'd sound so weird. People sound so different with different accents. Like, their voice changes. My Religion and Study teacher likes to tell us stories about his travels to America all the time (most of which consists of him impersonating you guys) and his voice sounds so different with an American accent.

[off-topic thing that made me go "OMFG LET ME HURT THESE PEOPLE": My sister just told us that some boys in her class said they want to have sex with her! SHE'S FUCKING EIGHT YEARS OLD. Ohhh, man, I'm not happy.]

they'd either laugh because it sucked or think I was either making fun of them

That scares me too. I think I've actually done it once or twice, too.

Because the phone garbles things.

The phone garbles my head.

my dreams of late have been. . . interesting, to say the least, so I can't talk.

*looks around. shuffles closer* DO tell!

[crashcart9.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I just like knowing that I can do the HTML for hyperlink-things and stuff.

Hey, I totally don't, so go you. When it gets more complicated than lj-cut or making some journal name be all linky or bold/italic/underline/strike, I do it in my LJ client thing and copy it over. I could learn, but it's just as quick to do it my way.

Four-way hugging! It's like a mini-cluster of Alexandrias and Cathryns.

An interesting mental picture indeed, lol.

I meant I wouldn't spend every spare moment talking to them.

Indeed. Twould be boring.

My Religion and Study teacher likes to tell us stories about his travels to America all the time (most of which consists of him impersonating you guys) and his voice sounds so different with an American accent.

Ohh, that's great. Is he passible at it? It's sorta not fair, though, because everybody elsewhere can impersonate an American accent much much better than we can do yours, because you guys get American TV shows all the time. I get the occasional BBC show on the public broadcast network, but that's it. Makes me sad, because I know I could get mine for various places really good if I had the exposure because I pick them up so quickly.

My sister just told us that some boys in her class said they want to have sex with her! SHE'S FUCKING EIGHT YEARS OLD.

Umm, no. Not even cool at all. What the hell? I was pissed when some kid in my sister's class was making fun of her when she got glasses, I can't imagine what I'd do if that happened. I'd kinda want to go kick their asses also. That's disgusting. It all comes back to the parents, too. What the hell have they been doing/saying/allowing their kids to watch on TV that puts things like that in the children's heads? It's sick.

The phone garbles my head.

Yeah, el mío también.

*looks around. shuffles closer* DO tell!

Hee, just with the actual sexing occuring in one of them. And the one with muppets. Twere strange.
