Intronaut has a white vinyl of Prehistoricisms I'm currently drooling over. It's only ten dollars. No idea why I haven't ordered it yet.

I think I listened to every single episode of Loveline that aired when I was 10-14. I'm going through this massive thread about it elsewhere, and I remember everything people mention. All the specific jokes and all of it.

That show was amazing.

And pointless left turn red lights. To this day I will still tell all of my friends how pointless they are and play Germany or Florida with them. And recognizing victims of childhood trauma from their whispery childlike voices, and "her vagina was the size of a mason jar!"

"So the strip club across the Hard Rock has a women's strip club upstairs, and I accidentally went up there..."
"How did you accidentally go up there?"
"I tripped and fell up the stairs!"



My parents would have killed me if they knew I was listening to that show every night. It was ridiculously informative for a kid, though.

Some chick who's doing a group project that three of my friends are also in plagiarized her entire sentence outline for the presentation associated it, after not cooperating with the group at all the entire time and not having any work done until tonight, the night before it's due, when she magically came up with a complete sentence outline for her ten minutes' worth of speaking after not having anything this morning. Said presentation and the paper that goes with it is 25% of the final grade in that class. She's at least going to get an automatic 0 in the class for that, if she's not expelled because it's such a big portion of the grade in a class. Stupid.

The three of them are in my room right now discussing how badly they're going to own her in front of the class of fifty students tomorrow morning. At this point in the discussion they're just going to put up empty slides and have one of them be like, "Yeah, see that girl right there? She stole everything that was going to be on those slides, after not doing anything for weeks. It's her fault our research isn't complete and that we won't have the entire fifty minutes for you."

I miss public speaking. Love doing that so much, which is funny because more people fear that than fear death.... and the more people I'm in front of, the better. I loved it last semester when I did the same project they're all doing.

I do that, too. When I had speech class last semester, I had to give five speeches, and for all of them, I just came up with a basic outline the night before and winged it the next day without practicing. If I was going to go over, I'd just leave out some non-essentials where I clarified information or something. I dislike when people over-rehearse. It's completely obvious and doesn't feel personable. There was one kid in my class that was so caught up in not saying "um" that he'd have these huuuuuge silences randomly, and it was awkward as all get out. Saying "um" is completely natural. Not speaking for three seconds between sentences definitely isn't. I dreaded when he gave a speech. You've got to connect with your audience and everything has to feel natural or else it's aaaawwwwkwaaaarrrrd. I'd get nervous in high school giving speeches to my class, but I volunteered to give a speech in front of several hundred people senior year and absolutely loved it. It's amusing because I'm not an extrovert or anything, but then the greatest orators and performers in general have a huge tendency to be flaming introverts. Once you start applying how you see other people when they give speeches and things to how others see you, it's not a big deal. I used to get as nervous as all get out... I forgot my lines in a play I was in when I was nine because I was so nervous, and I had to ad-lib and not make any sense at all. I was terrified of giving solos singing in church when we did that kind of thing when I was little. Now I get excited, and I never trip over my words. I'm even considering trying out for the plays my school puts on next year after having it suggested to me by my speech professor, who is also the head of the theater department and directs and casts all the plays.

How much did you guys get? We got like... six inches.

I am pretty sure you're the closest person to here, unless somebody else lives within a couple hours of some random little town in Indiana, so it's probably the same storm system.
