Where are you at Lael?

I was confused about the whole assignment that you have 30 minutes to do..

I'm at Wells College in central NY. I'm at the end of my rope. I'm at the end of my deadline to turn in something meaningful to my bitch of a director. I'm at the point where I don't care that it's just BS.

Hey ladies!

Hey, y'all are welcome to tell me if I get annoying with this angsting thing, but I'm on a roll...Dammit, I don't have any food, and I haven't eaten since breakfast (I slept through lunch and skipped dinner to study)! I'm starving!

Being hungry is the worst feeling.

Actually, feeling like eating when you're not hungry is the worst because then you have no justification for stuffing your face.

Which is what I'd like to do right now.

Sorry, lael, I have been hanging out on the welcome thread..

I'm going to Philly/Baltimore and possibly NYC..

And angst away, that's what this is for..

I didn't eat all day yesterday or today.. I finally ate a little while ago..

All I have are sugar-free Baskin Robbins hard candies. I've been sucking on them all day. Doesn't help.

[camerangel]

oh that sucks Lael..

[LaeloftheLakes]

Posted: 12/14/04 at 2:20am

Indeed it does, cam...indeed it does. Why don't I go to a school with an all-night cafeteria or something?

It's really the least of my problems, but the easiest to whine about. And dammit, I'm good at whining. I'm Jewish, for goodness sakes!

Are you getting, how you say, verklempt?

Woman, why don't you pack some food in your dorm!?

[LaeloftheLakes]

Posted: 12/14/04 at 2:27am

I'm poor! I don't have any money! Have I mentioned that's why I'm knitting nonstop?

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 12/14/04 at 2:30am

Yes, this knitting thing is over my head.

I'm less domesticated than a rabid hyena. I can't even cook an egg properly.

[LaeloftheLakes]

Posted: 12/14/04 at 2:33am

*is befuddled* What, really? Not even an egg?

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 12/14/04 at 2:35am

Okay, maybe like I can boil any egg. And not even really that because I'd likely over boil it because I'd walk away from the stove.

[LaeloftheLakes]

Posted: 12/14/04 at 2:39am

Oh, honey...what did yo' momma teach you? What do canadians teach their daughters?

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 12/14/04 at 2:42am

Oh hun, it doesn't even matter. I never listen. And I dread the day I've got to *gasp* move out because I can't cook, clean, do laundry or sew. I'm the anti-woman.

[LaeloftheLakes]

Posted: 12/14/04 at 2:46am

But...but...what can you do?

I'm sorry, I was raised Jewish in a town that thinks it's the fifties. It's weird. But that's all I can do. I cook, clean, do laundry, sew, knit, crochet...if it's domestic and stereotypical, I'm your gal.



EVERYONE REJOICE!!!!!!!!!!!! SOMEONE TOOK PITY ON ME AND GAVE ME PASTA-IN-A-MINUTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 12/14/04 at 2:52am

Oh Lael, I think that's why Chinese and Jewish couples are supposed to get along so well. One to do the domestic work, the other to be the breadwinner.

And both of them to kvetch over overbearing parents and money problems.

[LaeloftheLakes]

Posted: 12/14/04 at 3:02am

I completely agree. But when I said I live in the fifties, I mean it. My mother would have a heart attack if I married someone other than a "nice Jewish boy. Like a doctor!"

It's not going to happen, but it's nice to know how she's going to die. Ouch, that sounded harsh. True, but harsh.

Btw, I have now eaten pasta-in-a-minute. mmmm, pure carbs that taste like sh*t...

[Type_A_Tiff]

Posted: 12/14/04 at 3:04am

Pure carbs? Taste like ****? No such thing.

I can relate. If it's not a doctor, it's an accountant, a lawyer or an engineer. Asians are the same way.
