Chicago: Where have all the serial killers gone?

It's only wrong if you're American. The rule everywhere else in the world is that if the quotes contain a complete sentence, then the punctuation goes inside of them, but otherwise the quotes are only setting off a word or a phrase, so it is still the sentence that should be punctuated, not the word or phrase. Simple.

I am excited about the whole Thirsty Thursday, which it seems is likely to be at a convenient location for me. I wish I was going to be there this Thursday, but I have to be at boring old work. In London. Ugh.

i hated mhs.

i could very easily be talked into a thirsty tuesday if anyone is up for it.

I will not be able to attend TT until Sept. 28.

I swear to God Kr said something the other day like "My high school wasn't that well-off. We didn't even have a field hockey team, just lacrosse."

i thought that field hockey was an east coast thing.

i never knew that was british punctuation. i do that with quotes as well, because it looks stupid and incorrect otherwise.

xpost: Oh shit, I missed that!

Guess what was playing in the car when I started it this morning?

I don't get the "joke" about the swimming pool being on the 3rd floor. Explain. (The swimming pool at UNCG is on the 2nd or 3rd floor.)

...girls and fucked 'em at school
All I know is that
There were rumours he was into field hockey players
There were rumours
- So he applied basically
- He was gone the next day
- And went off with the team
- It's like - he was got - they'd just like
It was like so hush hush
They were so... quiet about it
And then the next thing you know...

Pixies - "I'm Amazed"

(not technically lyrics!

Malarky. UNCG's probably Olympic-sized pool is on the 2nd or 3rd floor. Hotels have pools on high floors.

how many public high schools do you know are funded at the same level as a university or hotel? one look at the 6" concrete slab floors would tell you that there's not going to be a pool on the 3rd floor.

Depends on the tax base, no? There are a lot of stupid rich high schools. Not yours, obviously, but still.

one of the english teachers at my hs married a former student but of course there was never anything inappropriate while she was a student. i've heard rumors of a lot of other things like that, the vast majority being older female teachers taking on younger dudes. i all but witnessed one such incident at a party after my senior year.

xpost Kevin w/r/t 6" slabs: You just never mind.

Hail to Breck, our alma mater -
To her we'll be true!
Honor God and country -
Flag of gold and blue!

Our strong band will ne'er be broken -
Though we stray apart!
Friendships formed within these walls
Will live within each heart!

One of my female teachers in HS got engaged while I was in her class, and took tons of time off. I later found out that she was also sleeping with a student (brother of a friend) right around that time.

The record store dude said DJ Shadow isn't out until next week. JT sounds pretty good in the car though.

I'm really gassy though.

One of my coworkers keeps offering me a xanax to take before my next drilling/filling dentist appt. Thoughts? Comments? Concerns? I've never had one before. I'm pretty wary of DROGAS because my body is wussy, but also, going to the dentist makes me want to start popping pills.

Hi, Amanda. Long time no see. Isn't the new ANTM starting soon?

That said, Xanax is supposed to "turn your brain off" and/or "stop your mind from racing" according to those I've talked to about it. I've never taken it.

I bet, if you really wanted to, you could get some sort of anti-anxiety medicine prescribed if the dentist makes you nervous.

I have high anxiety in general. My brain should be turned off every morning.

xp good luck with the doc

xpost - good luck indeed!
