Waterproof mascara it is.

My hold on this just came in from the library. I’ll be starting it as I fly home to Toronto. Will I be crying the entire way or just angry? Or both?

*thwack* Don’t be more of a pedant than I am. :P *until she started grad school. ;)

One of my BFFs in grad school hadn’t read the HP series until she started (I know not how).

I’m very sorry for your loss. He sounds like he was a wonderful man. I’m sorry your aunt was so hard on you; grief can be an awful thing.

I’m very sorry for your loss. Your story is beautiful.

Wait, I can totally do #4. My parents dishing out $$ for private high school tuition was good for something, woo! \o/

I was over at a friend’s playing the game — I lasted maybe five minutes, and he took the reins thereafter. We’d turned out all the lights. About an hour in, I get up to stretch for a second, and he just shouts “WAIT DON’T LEAVE ME.”

Neh, I’m a gamer, and I love watching people play. Not usually random people on the internet, but I HAVE watched some Let’s Plays of, say, Outlast, which I and my friends are too chickenshit to play. :D

I cannot *imagine* how terrifying that would be.

I have five candles I can lob. #deadly :p

I always think it’s such a cheap way to begin in media res.

Yeah, I’m sure he thinks that — but also, not super-happy that the women onstage were on board. I guess because everything else has been so shitty, they’re like, “Well, we’ll take this I guess” :P

To end that segment, Steve said it should be the woman’s decision whether or not to have sex. Only the women onstage, the comedians in our row, and a few other men throughout the theater applauded that statement.

I think that’s an excellent idea :)

*wince*

Yeah, I’ve heard Master’s students tend to get super-screwed :(

Many grad programs (PhD, less often Master’s) have full funding available to students. In the sciences, it’s practically unheard of not to get a full ride — just FYI. :)

Adaption? :P

I was walking with my boyfriend and a homeless guy catcalled me. My boyfriend didn’t even notice — because he “just ignores people who seem weird.”
