The Official Adam Pascal Love Thread, part eleven — Page 37

Ugh. I'm in the college application process too. It's making me crazy! I have too many forms to fill out, too many papers to write. And all this stress is amounting to me getting sick. I feel like crap right now and I'm considering having my mom call the school and tell them I won't be back after lunch.

I don't envy any of you guys for having to go through the stress of applying, and writing essays, and taking the SATs. I'm glad that in the good ole' Great White North, all that is needed is good grades and a good provincial mark (kind of the equivalent to SATs in the States, but less standardized and more of just ONE LAST BIG TEST at the end of the year).

I don't believe I had to write any essays on any of my applications, thank goodness because I suck at pimping myself.

Wait, that sounded bad...

As for the little-bit of IMDB board drama that I ranted about last night, I apologize profusely to anyone I may have offended here or there. As Lorelai Gilmore once stated:

"I hate when I’m an idiot and I don’t even know it. I like to be aware of my idiocy - to really revel in it, take pictures. I feel we missed a prime Christmas card opportunity."

I feel like that right now. :P I've realized my stupidity and now I'm going to correct it. :)
And now back to your regularly scheduled programming... :)

Hah, I'm not actually *going* to Canada. Though, that would be nice. I'm just saying it's sounds a lot better than colleges here...

Mandi - Heh. Come to Canada. It's fun, and we say "Eh!" a lot.

Skittles - I'm not sure why, but I have this notion of it being weird when Americans come to Canada for school, even though it also happens the other way around. I guess it's logical, since fees are ridiculously low here in comparison to almost any university or college in the States.

Duh. I should have figured that out, Mandi. Thanks for the link, skittles. Those are great scans.

Connie, drama over, hopefully.

Chloe - I wish. There's one poster that seems to want to berate me repeatedly even though I apologized time and again, as you can see. Plus, now she's saying I'm a hypocrit for posting pictures without credit, but as you know, I do credit people (seeing as how I keep on asking you where you got said pictures *g*), and that I shouldn't have any of them up even with a disclaimer (even though, as you know, most fansites work on this policy). She wants to make me out as the bad guy and I really can't stop her from doing so, so I'm going to stop trying.

Why on earth would you hack up your Rent Bible like that?

Mine's sacred, seriously. I nearly had a heart attack when my friend touched it with ink all over his hands.

I'm sorry about all the IMDb stuff, Connie. I've met some great people there who I love talking to, and others certainly less so. Aforementioned poster would probably be at a complete loss for Adam info without your site.

But, Connie, properly crediting images includes providing a name of a photo agency and/or photographer for every single photo. It's true that most fansites don't practice this policy, and I personally couldn't care less if you or anyone else give credit on every individual photo, but I don't see that you've done that on your website.

I still have to buy the Rent bible.

Guten Abend.

Thanks for the link, skittles! Maybe I'll borrow a page from your book (figuratively speaking) and use some images as a poster. For a while, I've thought it might be fun to have a Rent poster to go with my La Boheme print.

I don't have the book either, Sarah; you're not the only one.

Darn, I wish I'd been around for the discussion of ancient Greek and Roman epics. I'm comfortable enough with my geekiness to admit that I love The Odyssey; I first read it for an extra-credit project in middle school. However, most of my interest in epics comes from my general obsession with mythology and folklore.

I'm starting to dive into the application process for high school, even though in 9th grade. My school's weird like that, ending in 9th grade instead of 8th or 12th. This is gonna be a crazy fall.

I would die if anything happenedto my Rent book. It's totally sacred to me. I freak out when people touch if when tehir hands are dirty, etc.

Thanks for the scans skittles! They're amazing.

According to them, a single missed homework assignment or failed attendence to a school group means you won't get into a good college.

Well damn, I guess I should go pick up an application from Burger King.
