9. another interesting thing
The same essay I fell asleep on and spelled my name wrong, I got an A on even though I didn't get it and I was half asleep typing it, and to be honest, I didn't even really read the book that much and I didn't get it either, so take that Franz Kafka, you Czech nut.

17. Yeah
I had to explain why it was either fantasy with realistic elements or realistic fantasy or something like that. I'll be honest with you on four things, one I did the essay at the last min, two I did not like the book, three I did not get the book, and four I was so half ass tired that night, I even spelled my name wrong, hmm I think I have that essay heh, maybe I could scan it and it shows my name being crossed out and being spelled right.

31. I am pretty much 'the opposite of what I was feeling just happened'
as far as grades go. I always hope I FEEL like I tanked-sure sign of a good grade.

If you ever get a chance, listen to "Franz Kafka on the Telephone." IIRC, it's a laugh riot.

Edited on Thu Dec-23-04 03:25 AM by jpgray
"Amateur Hour" has been caught on me for about two months and I can't get the damn sugary Queen-on-cocaine tripe out of my damn head. They're pretty talented bastards, actually. It just is too wussy-sounding for me to wholeheartedly endorse.

20. Someone's going to post something amusing
Wherein what is thrown out in your sentence is the cat rather than the typewriter.

34. OK. Q has pissed on everything in that house
He's 86'd. Except for one thing. After he pissed on everything in the house and his parents rebuilt the house, and got thrown out (he sneaked in for the typewriter incident), he started getting in extremely expen$ive fights. So now he has to be captured at night and stuck in a large cage in the heated basement. I'm taking care of him and his siblings and that's pretty much what I do between 6-8.

Kitty Round Up! Head Em Up! Move Em Out!-erm-In!

They all hate me. And my little dog hates them. For their Freedoms. And their cat food.

Fiona? As in late 80's pop luminary Fiona whose duet with Kip Winger, "You're Sexing Me" shot straight up to number 184 on the Billboard chart in 1989?!?

Lemme shake your hand. And give you chlamydia.

44. Yes, that's me
Due to some bad management, I lost the $342 I made from that song, and was forced to find employment as a chicken sexer outside of Dubuque.

Alas, my job was outsourced to India a few years ago, so I've supported myself recently by giving "full release" massages down at the senior center on Social Security check day.

As for the offer of chlamydia, thanks, but not necessary. I already have an especially virulent strain. In fact, the doctors down at the clinic wanna write a paper about me.

48. I need surgery for a large growth on my toe...
Edited on Thu Dec-23-04 05:39 AM by Seabiscuit
It's on my fourth toe on my right foot - almost as large as the pad on my smallest toe - has veins in it and everything. It could take a month on my back recovering, so I keep putting it off over the years, and it just keeps getting worse.

Ugh.

I don't know how "intersting" that is.
