"Tomorrow is April Fool's Day. Be very afraid." -Kate to me

"Whee! I'm sinking into the depths of sin. Whee!" -Skarda, on "slippery slope"

She asked if i'd heard from places yet and i said, "I've gotten rejected from everywhere except UPenn, which i haven't heard from yet. Way to go me." Cheery voice and everything. Her response was very matter-of-fact, take it in stride, which was so comforting, because my anxiety has totally been about having to disappoint people.

There are white and purple crocuses on the patch of grass by the JMG crossroads. First time i've seen flowers growing since i was in Virginia. (Though the museum keeps getting lovely floral displays.)

So many sirens today. "The pedestrians are getting frisky," said Megan (who really meant "uppity").

The Commencement schedule came out.

Oh, and the Buddhism thing turns out to be next weeekend rather than this weekend, and bell hooks is giving a lecture ("Buddhism Beyond Gender") in JMG at 8pm Friday April 8 [edited to correct the date]. Just in case anyone cares.

Instead of going to Finding Neverland (which Kate owns on DVD now), i went to the Spring Dance Concert, which was really very good. I think i need more dance in my life. Who wants to come to the Senior Dance Concert with me Thursday April 14?

[livejournal.com profile] doyle_sb4 polled her friends about which fandoms they're a part of. I basically consider myself part of a fandom if i know all the source text and care to engage in meta&fic re: said source text. My instinct is to just say Whedonverse when asked which fandoms i'm part of, so it was interesting to really think about what else i would consider myself part of fandom for (and some of it sounds so weird to call fandom).

This tells me i am 48% Femme and 52% Butch. Somehow we are not surprised.

Room Draw is over. The floor dynamics in my house next year are gonna be weird.

Yay for good discussion about politics, books, and (post-)college plans. Also: ♥ Cat.

P.S. 3 years ago today my LJ was born, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] athene. This will be entry #1932. Look at me go.

I really don't do the April Fool's thing. However, in honor of the recently deceased Mitch Hedberg, [livejournal.com profile] offbalance posted a list (from [livejournal.com profile] lizzola) of examples of his humor. I laughed out loud multiple times.

"I've gotten rejected from everywhere except UPenn, which i haven't heard from yet. Way to go me."

they're all fools. you know that, right?
eventually, you're going to win and then you'll be able to laugh heartily at everyone. and i hope you do, because far too many people take the high road when they should be gloating.

I would love to go with you to the Senior Dance Concert on Thursday, April 14! :D (Also, is hooks speaking on THU., Apr *7*, or FRI, Apr. *8*?)

Yay!

And oops, is Friday the 8th. Sorry 'bout that.

I cannot cannot cannot imagine Skarda saying that. o.O

Yeah, it was interesting.

Don't worry
