You can do it Radi. I work full time and go to grad school. I don't have children, but I have other issues that require a great deal of my time.

It's just temporary, and all for the greater good!

Tonight I am just very long winded. and frustrated. and longing. nobody really understood when I was trying to explain this today.

taz, I am still really entirely undecided between Obama and Clinton to be honest...but, what I knew last night was that I was going to truly enjoy not seeing friggin John Edwards win.

I love Breaking Benjamin. They rock!
Is that a futile reference in this thread?

Taz--We once had a guest writer who was the father of one of the members of Breaking Benjamin. It was pretty awesome. He wrote a book about them and everything.

that is uber-cool geek. They have really grown on this last album.

I'm feeling this music tonight. I need to be in the mood for it.

It will have to wait for a bit taz ... even if I got the GRE taken next week I could not get the applications, proposals, and letters of recommendation in before the deadline of Jan 19. Might just take a couple grad courses at ASU to keep me stable. On the upside all the candidates are opening offices here-- so at least I can start volunteering, if I can pick a horse. And by way; that reference went way over my head.

geek-- he was a little brokenhearted...but the Byzantine process is really unsettling to a first timer...he is looking forward to NH.

Hi folks. I have a question.

In my acting class, there is this girl. We have kind of...a bad situation between us. She doesn't really like me. I was cast in this role she wanted, and it has been kind of ugly ever since. Also she thought I was after her boyfriend, even though I have a boyfriend who I adore, and just...it's been hard in class. There's only ten of us, and the tension keeps building and everyone expects us to have it out.

So today in voice class, our teacher asked us all to think of two things we could do to improve the classroom learning experience, and to broaden our minds to grow more and more.

I said, "I'm going to stop being judgemental and critical of other peoples processes, and work. I know I have caused tension in the past, and to anyone who has felt uncomfortable or upset because of this, I apologize, and I promise I'm going to do my best to make sure it doesn't happen anymore."

I just thought that if I'm going to want to do this professionally, I have to try and make relationships between people I work with, even if we don't like each other, remain professional.

But did I bring something out in the open I shouldn't have? Was it a bad move?

Am I being an idiot?

Anyway...I was just wondering if anyone had any advice.

okay. I'm exhausted, fussy and self-pitying, so I am going to bed.

taz -- *hugs* thanks for the pep talk.

geek- take care!

See y'all real soon.

It hurts to have to grow up, doesn't it? I'm not enjoying it thus far.

Radi--Hey, I mean, that's a pretty respectable percentage considering Giuliani only got 4 percent! I was pleasantly surprised for Richardson. It can get better from here.

Edit: 'night Radi! Best luck to your son and his candidate of choice.

well considering i'm 30 and i have kids you'd think i'd have done it by now. but it still hurts to give up your dream

[tazber]

Posted: 1/5/08 at 1:39am

It does stagi. Recognizing that it does hurt and it IS a big deal is a major part of healing though.

A lot of people dismiss it as "well, it was time to grow up, blah blah blah".

And anyway, hopefully it's not permanent.

Roz: Don't worry about something you can control. Either people like you or they don't, and for whatever reason, it's their problem and not yours.

i'll be taking a psych course next quarter so maybe i'll get some insights lol.

i just had a horrid thought though. i still have to tell my mother. oh dear god

I feel like I'm stuck.

[Rosalind]

Posted: 1/5/08 at 1:43am

I think I came in at a bad time to talk about me. Sorry guys! My bad.

[tazber]

Posted: 1/5/08 at 1:44am

Roz - I wouldn't have brought it up in public, but it's not that big a deal really.

I nust ask though: why not just kick the SH*T out of her instead?

[Stagioni D'Amore]

Posted: 1/5/08 at 1:44am

don't worry dear. it's not a bad time.

[Rosalind]

Posted: 1/5/08 at 1:46am

Haha, I should just read first.

Stagioni: I hope you are okay!

Taz: Because I hate fighting...I want to resolve it and not have everyone talking about a huge fight.

Posted: 1/5/08 at 1:50am

I swear the window in my room is going to come crashing in. We have a huge storm going on, and its kinda scary.

[tazber]

Posted: 1/5/08 at 1:51am

you don't have to apologize Roz. It's cool to vent here. I wasn't serious about kicking her ass, but Austin is right: just ignore her. It's her problem.

[Stagioni D'Amore]

Posted: 1/5/08 at 1:52am

i hope it doesn't mateo.

roz- i'll be fine. just grumpy for a while. nothing new there though

Sounds like an episode out of Grey's Anatomy.

(The one where Katherine's character tells Sara's character that she boinked TR's character, and everyone thinks there's going to be this huge fight. It's great!)

[mateo]

Posted: 1/5/08 at 1:54am

Austin you may be getting this storm in a few days.

Thanks Stagi.

The last movie i had to watch kinda sucked. Life Is Beautiful. in Italian. just not my kind of movie.
