yeah, he was super understanding of why my gpa was so poo poo (undiagnosed mental illness :toot:) and said he'd take into consideration the gpa of my last 60hrs attempted, which is over 3.0, rather than my overall gpa which is like 2.2 or something
also taking into consideration a major change and the professor i'm doing undergrad research under, who is very well renowned both on and off campus
e: renowned in nanotechnology circles at least

oh man I missed so much chat I wanted to talk about but here we go:


this cat is pretty neat

lab talk: we only really use nitrile gloves in our lab and acetone goes through them like fuckin tissue paper, but since I do air-sensitive stuff then apart from washing up I only get anything on me if I've reallllly hosed up so it's not too bad, but washing up involves loads of acetone so nails = no paint :(

anime chat: god I can't wait for new Sailor Moon, lay it on me motherfuckers wanna see the power of the moon or some poo poo

puppy chat: puppies still adorable and good

makeup chat: trichotillomania is a bitch and that's all I'll say about that

Chiba City Blues, glad your professors are understanding of your mental illness stuff, mine were thankfully pretty good about it once I finally told them even if they are kinda old-fashioned and don't wanna know any specifics, I'm still kind of terrible at science but at least I know it's OK for me to be terrible until I'm done in therapy :unsmith:

and finally the chemistry department put on a bitchin Christmas buffet and I drank probably about a bottle of free wine so I'm not getting any work done this afternoon

OK I think I'm caught up carry on everyone

It's my birthday tomorrow, I think I'm just going to maintain a nice steady buzz for the next day or so. Started with bourbon last night, and I think I may still have a little in me because I'm way too happy to be at work right now, and I got unnaturally excited when a song I like came up on shuffle on the way in here. I think I'll have a glass of wine with lunch to keep the good vibes going.

Or I'll fall asleep at my desk and get fired, who knows.

Also, Parks and Recreation is a good show with good lady characters

Thanks! My boyfriend and I both took the day off work, we're going to see The Hobbit at a beautiful old art deco theatre and then eat at a farm-to-table diner that makes fancy cocktails with homemade bitters. We'll probably also end up doing Christmas shopping, because I've been slacking on that.

my christmas presents are all bought and wrapped and sitting quietly in my living room waiting for me to drive them 4 hours to my parents house so everyone can open them and tell me that i'm awesome and spent too much :smug:

My brother and I have a long-standing tradition of buying each other the tackiest crap for Christmas and birthdays. We also buy each other nice gifts as well, but the terrible stuff is more fun. It's probably too late, but I was thinking of commissioning a portrait of him from a terrible DeviantArt person and framing it really nice. Might save that for his birthday, as the artist probably needs time to get the poorly-drawn anime eyes just right.

One year I got him a framed portrait of Gary Coleman dressed as a train conductor, another year a bust of a grizzled old sea captain who's wearing a ton of makeup for some reason (dollar store figurines are often inexplicable. We call him Swishmael). Last year he got me a stuffed animal in the shape of an anthropomorphic carrot, so I really need to up my game.

Also, ladies, i need a new hairstyle. I've had the same super boring one for years now, and i want to do something drastic. I want...bangs

Who cares if they're in or not, bangs frame the face nicely and you can slack on eyebrow maintenance if you have em

Also, that figurine is horrific, but it's not the right kind of horrific. I usually go more for stuff that tries to be cute but fails miserably

I have bangs, it just suits some people and not others. Mine are side swept bangs, blunt bangs don't look right on me but can look incredibly chic.

Ladies, is the "divide by 2, add 7" rule accurate for figuring out if a relationship is creepy? I'm 21, dating a 28 year old woman and have gotten mixed reactions.

I wonder if she wants to have sex in public because her house is so nasty. Or if paying for sex means she gets to add you to her collection

Her hoarding is localized entirely to her room, the rest of the house is pristine.

And I'm pretty sure she doesn't have any other back-door men

Bourbon and apple cider, served hot, is the best drink. I don't actually drink much at home, but I like to have some kind of whiskey on hand in fall/winter for warming purposes. I just have a bottle of Jack right now, nothing special but fine for mixing.
