The Unbearable Whiteness of My Being

coffeesnob318(as much as I would love to take credit for that title, I must admit that I stole it from the Sweet Potato Queens Book of Love, which I highly recommend. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
gradeafan, I just started the one you sent me, and it's proving to be even better than the BOL. You know me so well).
Summer is breathing down my neck, and I just realized something - if I were to stick my arm out the window of my car, I just might cause an accident from the glare off my pasty white skin. Something must be done. Mayberavenluvslex and bubbles79 and I sit on the sunny balcony whilst sipping margaritas in a couple of weeks (So! Excited!).
I don't really have anything to say, except I might want to lessen the teaching next fall. My friend Mel may have a front desk position open up in the dorm, and I'm seriously considering taking her up on it, even though it means 8:00 in the morning. I'm just tired of bad speeches, but I think I could handle a few if I got to hang out with Mel on a daily basis.
Heh, heh. One of my assignments prompted the need for a quiz.
You are Angelina Jolie
You're edgy and sometime freak people out. Luckily
you're so hot they pay attention to you long
enough to realize you've got a big heart and a
good mind.
Which one of my pretties are you?
brought to you by Quizilla
And 1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says:
The only book that's near is the phonebook. And this is a school.
Prepare to sit on the edge of your seat. This is bound to be exciting.
"GTE offers many services that can make your"
*blinks* Hey. That is kind of exciting. Especially when you leave it at that and your imagination fills in the blank.
2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first?
The empty chair next to me
3. What is the last thing you watched on TV?
Family Feud. Stop laughing.
4. WITHOUT LOOKING, guess what time it is:
5:20
5. Now look at the clock, what is the actual time?
Close. 5:30
6. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?
Music coming from the other professors office...the office secretary talking on the phone in her come-hither voice. OK...running away from the image that brings to mind. Damn active imagination. Go back to the phone book. GOBACKTOTHEPHONEBOOK!!!!
7. When did you last step outside? What were you doing?
I last stepped outside to get out of my car and walk inside the building at school
8. Before you came to this website, what did you look at?
checked e-mail
9. What are you wearing?
jeans, grey tshirt, black sweater, very cute new black sandals, stopwatch, two rings, and way too much hair product (seriously...making my eyes water)
10. Did you dream last night?
Probably. I don't remember. Whatever it was, it must have been good, because I woke up happy.
11. When did you last laugh?
Earlier when reading God Save the Sweet Potato Queens
12. What is on the walls of the room you are in?
Nameplates for each of the offices, clock, a sign that says that the computers are for faculty use only but then go on to say that if you are a student, your teacher must be present while you are using the computers (so...NOT for faculty use only. I'm surrounded by idiots).
13. Seen anything weird lately?
I am in constant view of weird. A squirrel tried to run me off the road yesterday, and today, when I went outside, I swear it was the same squirrel watching me from the tree. Nope, not paranoid at all.
14. What do you think of this quiz?
I like it. It's different from most of the quizzes that I fill out, and I fill out a lot of them. And it wins bonus points for flirting with me (why else would it ask what I'm wearing?).
15. What is the last film you saw?
In the theater - Cheaper by the Dozen...I think.
At my house last night - French Kiss
16. If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy first?
Equal Exchange. That way, they never have to worry about funding, and the sky's the limit. They could royally kick Starbuck's butt.
17. Tell me something about you that I don't know:
I had biscuits and gravy for breakfast
18. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?
I would get rid of all bugs and creepy crawly things (including creepy crawly men) and invent a contraption that performs whatever worthwhile function(s) they currently perform.
19. Do you like to dance?
I love to dance. In fact, I'm going to get up and dance right now. *dances*
20. George Bush: is he a power-crazy nutcase or some one who is finally doing something that has needed to be done for years?
Let's just say that he and that previously mentioned squirrel have a lot in common.
21a. Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?
Well, my long-time favorite was Chloe (Chloe and Chleo if they were twins), but I can't very well do that now, can I? So I'm not sure.
21b. Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?
Ivan
22. Would you ever consider living abroad?
Yes. Is that an invitation or a proposal?

"A squirrel tried to run me off the road yesterday, and today, when I went outside, I swear it was the same squirrel watching me from the tree. " I think he's one of those scientific experiment squirrel that they OD'd on caffeine. Keep count of your coffee beans!
And go to the MRMB Games and look for the analogy thread. Something tells me that your work experience will give you a serious edge over all of us there.
