The last time I donated blood, I asked the nurse, who was about to stick the needle in me, if she was any good at it. I have veins that are apparently hard to hit. She got all offended as if I didn't have the right to ask. After all, I was doing THEM a favor, the last thing I want is some noob butchering my veins. She said "Do you think they would let me do this if I wasn't any good at it"? All over the world, everywhere I go, I see people doing things they are obviously not qualified to do in some way, so yes, they would, but I didn't tell her that.

So, after 10 minutes of her trying to hit a vein, she called over someone that was obviously better at it, who hit it on the first try.

For one of my classes, I was assigned an article to read and write a response to.  The article turned out to be a neurotic, vitriol-spewing Feminazi diatribe in which the Greek column is identified as a glorification of the hateful, oppressive penis (its role in holding up roofs conveniently ignored), as is the beanstalk in "Jack and the Bean Stalk." Worse, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony is cheapened into an anthem of rape and sadomasochism, the uplifting "Ode to Joy" finale rendered no more than a cheap mask over the rapist's face.

My response paper is twice the length the professor wanted, and would make Hunter S. Thompson and Johnny Rotten blush. 

I look forward to seeing what sort of grade I get on it.

Wow.  Let us know how that works out!

Gotta be careful in some classes, lot of professors in colleges don't like students who have differing opinions... 

[Saucerman]

The professor for this class won't actually tell us her opinions on anything, because she doesn't want to color our opinions, and we had some fantastic (and delightfully venomous) discussion of this article today in class.  I actually almost got the professor to do a spit-take, when I commented, "Well, if I'm going to be part of the White Male Patriarchic Hegemony, I want to at least reap the benefits of it...Where's *my* share of the power?"

This is one of my LJ icons, and I think it's an awesome picture.

Don't you?

Why do the smiley icons always look like they are plotting something?

My DVD arrived and it doesn't work!!!!!

Yet, I still gave the guy good feedback because I didn't want to hurt his feelings.

I'm such a sap.

Because it's red nose day on Friday 13th of March, I can go into work as a clown!

Read in interesting quote at MJ Simpson.co.uk:

They pump out these films which meet a minimum quality threshold and as long as they do indeed meet that threshold there's little incentive to make them better. At this level of production and based on this marketing model, I can't imagine that extra money invested would be proportionately rewarded by extra income.

[Doggett]

Utter genius...

That's why they should hire heroin addicts to work these things.  Heroin addicts would hit that vein first try, every time.

That is so true. ROFL

Has anyone in history ever written the word "bosom" without putting the word "ample" in front of it?  Or am I the first?
