Kanker Strike

Friday, February 28th, 2003

I have had the *worst* kanker sore for about a week, and I totally suspect it is spreading. This freaks me out as I no longer have health insurance and a spreading of anything on my surface has serious freaky potential. I read online that beauty masks, of all things, can cause the [...]

Lookin Pa ‘Nub In All Da Wrong Places

Monday, February 24th, 2003

Long, long ago, in the early days of my get-free-stuff-from-the-internet obsession, I signed up with AmericanSingles. I didn’t sign up to find love online - I had already been enchanted by Angel. I believe the real reason I signed up was for points for a free coffee cup, or an inky black pen, [...]

Introducing, Whiteys

Friday, February 21st, 2003

The world is changing, of that we can be sure. Case in point: Today, I spoke in public speaking without saying “Uhm” once - this is nothing short of miraculous, I , uhm, assure you. Also, I actually enjoyed being at my internship this afternoon - not for any particular reason, per se, [...]

The Kids are Alright, Really

Thursday, February 20th, 2003

I must have a bungled psychic connection with my family. Twice yesterday I got semi-frantic calls from my parental units. The calls came from S.K. Dad and Maaa who, many of you may know, have been divorced for well over 20 years now. Curiously, without consulting each other, and of their own [...]

Disgruntled by Disgruntled Postal Workers

Thursday, February 13th, 2003

Today, for the first time in months, I went to the post office. I had to. Apparently, the punishment for delinquent payment on my $2.22 phone bill is a referral to a collection agency of Virginia Tech’s choosing, and a nice little memo to the IRS.
That being said, I flew like an eagle [...]

Intern Blues

Monday, February 10th, 2003

I updated my resume today to reflect my new internship, where I’m working on selling booth space for a career fair. As I perused the densely packed resume, I gasped in surprise. It seems my reported work experience consists almost exclusively of intern experiences. I found that ironic, as I am currently applying [...]

The Way We Were

Friday, February 7th, 2003

Tis’ the season to talk of such things as love and lasagne. For your viewing pleasure I present: The Way We Here: the Story of Angelface and HänniIt was a very skanky evening.
We were flying in the mars when suddenly a loud buuuuurp broke the silence. I looked into your ear and knew you [...]

D - Tales

Thursday, February 6th, 2003

I got my first college “D” today. It’s sort of a big event, as this is the lowest grade I’ve had on a single assignment since I started at Tech in ‘99. And while I know I should be upset, - that I should be crying,screaming, and self medicating with cheesecake and TLC, [...]

Just Call Me Pigpen

Sunday, February 2nd, 2003

Am wearing my bug pajamas - they are yellow and have grasshoppers, moths, beetles and other such creepy crawlies on them. Mom gave them to me before I went to college, along with a matching sheet and pillow case set. I like wearing them, because when I feel like being invisble, I can [...]
