Get in my closet! I must have you for an interview dress.

Maybe....but I'd have to think about it. ;)

I don't even bother exporting to Word anymore. I don't often need to distribute anything that's editable, so everything goes straight to PDF before it goes on the course website.

Agreed. Admitting that things are difficult is hard enough withou being chided for being "insufficiently grateful"...

I use it for everything. I just found it more user-friendly, and there are some fun features that are really useful for me. Like in Numbers, being able to have multiple, separate spreadsheets (their own columns, their own sorting, etc), on the same page/tab. You have no idea how useful this is for having a…

I actually use iWork - Pages(the word processor), Numbers Keynote - which is the Apple-branded office suite. I have Office on this computer but I refuse to use it. I'd been at this job about a week before I asked the department to please buy me iWork. That particular decision was largely because of Keynote (I hate…

I don't want the clothes, I just want to be the Queen of the Fairies.

Oh god, I remember WordPerfect in Windows 3.1. I loved so much about it, but it was so very slow, and I was so very young and impatient....

But I want this dress. I suppose I am a little joyless...

Pretty much. I've been astonished by it on many occasions.

There are flashes of the old Anne. She's my role-model for being a grown-up. Be responsible and all that, but keep the laughter behind your eyes.

Oh Little Elizabeth. I loved her with all my heart, partly because that's my name too — I adored her penchant for having different names to match all her moods.

Grown-up Anne is still in some ways my role model for how to be a grown-up without losing the joyfulness of the young.

That. Dog. I think I'm going to cry again.

I just re-read all of those books again over the last three weeks (okay, I'm not quite finished with Rilla of Ingleside yet, but close enough), so the nostalgia factor is really high for me.

I want this dress so very much. The cut (princess seams ftw), the colors, the paneling. *sigh*

Yeah, Google Scholar is how I figured out someone had cited my dissertation. And my paper.

Show up and do your work. Paying for college (or having your parents do it) isn't paying for a degree, it's paying for the opportunity to learn. So put some effort into it.

I reject your general setup, as I don't consider religion to be a "black-box generator" of any sort of objective truth. If I make a scientific discovery, I can shout it to the world and say "This is true." That's not the way religion works. I'm not interested in having other people believe what I believe.

Maybe it's just because I've wrestled with them both enough to be satisfied with my opinions. I'm going to have to admit that this is hard for me to articulate, but I'm going to try.
