I feel like I should go home and watch "The Quiet Man."
...and with me red hair and me frecks, wearing green makes me look like a fookin' Christmas tree anyway.
When I was in Ireland, I stayed a few nights at Ashford, the castle on whose grounds THE QUIET MAN was filmed. The film is on an endless loop everywhere you go around there.
I don't care if I ever see that friggin' film again.

Ha. I can relate to that. It was one of my grandma's favorites, so I had to watch it all the time. I only grew fond of it after she died, because it reminds me of her.

Top o'the...afternoon to ye all!
Yeah.
I'm wearing a green headband. Thats it, though.
So, I got letters from Nazareth and Cortland today, both acceptances as an English major. At least I know I'm smart enough to get into college based on academic stuff, even if I'm going to have to wait a year for what I really want to do.
Beggars cahn't be choosers, luv.

Yay! Any acceptance has got to feel good.

I wasn't begging, Stagey. I worked my ass off.
Sort of, Mauri. Its bittersweet.
it's far better that way, DGG. Trrrrrrust me.
If I could go back and do it all over again, I would have absolutely without question accepted the scholarship I was offered to Harvard, done my pre-med track, and THEN, if I still felt the passion for it, gone to Juilliard and studied music, AFTER I had an undergraduate degree that was actually remotely useful.
And, had I to do it over again...I would not have gone to Juilliard, I would have gone to Eastman, Peabody, or the Royal Conservatory in England. (But that's a whole other ball of wax...)
Thank you for making me feel stupid.

Thanks, guys. It makes me feel a bit better. I knew I wasn't going to have a great chance going into this. But I did work super hard, so its pretty disappointing.
I feel stupid every single day when I realize that it's my own fault that life is so much more difficult than it needs to be...
I REALLY should have listened to my mother. *sigh*

Listen to my mother? I wouldn't go *that* far...
I wasn't calling you a beggar. It's an idiom... idiot. It means you can't always get what you want, so accept what you can get.
Watch who you're calling an idiot, you idiot.

I'm aware of said idiom. Geez.
Hi Deet!
Stagey, did you get into Harvard?
I dunno, but I hear about half of Harvard's gotten into him
One Hasty Pudding incident and you never let me forget it.
I'm sorry, but the words Hasty and Pudding in conjunction with Stagey just bring up all sorts of disturbing images.

I hear ya, DGG. My whole "applying for Ph.D. school" thing isn't going well in the slightest. I'm wait-listed at one school (they could only accept 8 people in the English program) and am still waiting to hear from another. Everyone else said no. I kinda feel like I just wasted hundreds of dollars.
