I think my point is made. People got offended... or not even offended, just wanted to "fight a stereotype" and therefore insulted someone else and now everyone is in a bad mood and thinks everyone else hates them. CHILL, people. Don't be so touchy.

Chase, I can't think of a single instance where I've thought you were a bad person. We disagree on some things, but I don't think you're bad or evil.

On to other news...

I heard this read on the radio today (woo for 90.1 classical), and think it's really neat. It doesn't come across as well in text, but still a valid point.

Pad Thai makes thai iced tea by putting half & half, not coconut milk, into tea.

I had more stuff to say, but the sheer inanity of the whole Livejournal thing has just emptied my brain.

Certainly I agree that what my problem with high school science was, was that it was all just memorization with no underlying form (as this essay/speech implies). It wasn't until physics that I was really inspired by science, sadly.

wow. it wasn't till physics that i thought maybe science wasn't the field for me.

You damn humanities person ;)

[ex-dervish821.livejournal.com]

just being non-physics and having ended up with an english degree doesn't make me a humanities person. chemistry and math (though i've never done math on the level that most everybody else has) are relatively easy for me, and interesting, too.

Note the ;) . Relatively equal to a "pfft" ;)

Also, the fact that I'm a LETTERS major. ;)

pfft!

i am just too sensitive about my physics inabilities. i think that's the real problem. that, and i haven't had sex in god knows how long.

Re:

You and I should start a club. I'm sensitive about my inabilities in higher-level physics than your physics, but you've been laid more recently.

Is "more recently" grammatically correct?

[ex-dervish821.livejournal.com]

no, and yes.
yes, i think it's grammatically correct, and no, i haven't had sex since early october. unless you had a celibate last visit to boston...

Re:

Um, I thought you had sex right before he left..

well well

[ex-dervish821.livejournal.com]

maybe *he* had sex right before he left, but it wasn't with me.
i was still in the states.

Re: well well

[juldea.livejournal.com]

I must be really confused ... well I know I am, I really did know that when you returned he was already gone... but there was some time recently when you talked about the two of you having sex and I thought it was more recent than my Boston trip. *shrug*
