Ladylike..........?
........BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAA!!!
*dashes tear from eye*
OOOH, thank you, s-girl, I needed that!!
*SMOOCH!*

Can you just see her in a ball gown and pearls, sipping tea from a china cup with her pinkie sticking out?
Quite a contrast to the image of her sprawled on a couch in shorts and a tank top drinking JD. ;-)
Posted by: Bumble | April 29, 2007 at 01:12 PM
methinks my sistahs are mocking me...;)
and bumble, the second scenario is much more likely. :D
Posted by: southerngirl | April 29, 2007 at 01:59 PM
I thought so. ;-)
Btw, my preacher said something interesting today: "Those who think they're wearing a halo should remember that if it slips about eleven inches, it'll be a noose."

*OOOOF!!*
Hey, KDF, you flopped on me!
But I can understand that....we dragons are SO easy to miss. So unobtrusive, you know.....quiet, retiring, modest......
Posted by: sharon share-alike | April 29, 2007 at 03:23 PM
*flops down against the dragon, howling with laughter*
Posted by: Bumble | April 29, 2007 at 03:36 PM
Hm, I heard somewhere that dragons are modest, sociable, shy, assertive, and outgoing.
Di'n't I?
*wishes to reflop, but trudges off to accomplish stuff instead*
Harumph.
Posted by: KDF | April 29, 2007 at 03:43 PM
*drags KDF back onto the couch*
oh, no, sistah...ain't nuthin needing accomplishing right now...it'll still be there later
oops...sorry sharon, didn't mean to *grope* ya...
didn't see you, ya know, with you bein all unobtrusive, and all...
Posted by: southerngirl | April 29, 2007 at 04:04 PM
Not to contradict southerngirl, but finals will need accomplishing tomorrow, so studying's got to be accomplished now. *sigh*
Posted by: Bumble | April 29, 2007 at 04:10 PM

That 4:10 wasn't showing up a minute ago, which is why I posted the 5:24. What's up with that? Stupid typepad.

My sister and my darling nephew are in North Carolina with my parents right now. I really wish I was heading for the airport instead of heading into a week of final exams and work.
*sniff*
*wanders off feeling sorry for self (not Self)*
Posted by: Bumble | April 29, 2007 at 07:03 PM
Hmmm.....you know, I heard that somewhere as well, sistah. Well, I guess "quiet" and "retiring" are highly overrated, anyway. And you can stop howling now, Bumble dearling...I'm back to my old draconic self.
And what do you MEAN that wasn't an intentional grope, s-girl??? What, you no longer find me gropable?? Damn...I'm going to have to start being more obtrusive, then.
I, too, am feeling the crunch of the end of the semester. I'm getting through my piles of grading, and I still have a week of classes to teach before giving finals. And then I have to grade them, too. But I'm sure all our college-Kilties will do wonderfully on their exams, they being so brilliant and all.
I'll have the gold stars ready and waiting!

Thanks, sistah!

Posted by: Alfred | April 30, 2007 at 03:18 AM
Cheerful greetings despite the awful Monday morningness of it all.
Seems everyone is busy being busy with business, so I'll add my two pence to say that work is maddeningly busy for me right now, too, and I have dreadfully little time to participate here much. Please keep the gropes and the JD flowing, and I'll join in when I can.

Two finals today.
I'm so nervous I feel like I'm going to be sick.
Posted by: Bumble | April 30, 2007 at 09:12 AM
You know you've studied.
You know the material is masterable by persons of reasonable intellect.
You know you're a person of more than reasonable intellect.
It's natural to be nervous before a final, but keep your cool, keep your mind on the material, and it will work out fine.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | April 30, 2007 at 10:00 AM
My brain knows that, but my stomach and my nerves can't be convinced.
I'll just be glad when this week is over.
Posted by: Bumble | April 30, 2007 at 10:17 AM
Wasn't it about a couple of weeks or so later than this time last year that we heard multiple boastful reports of acing all kinds of finals?
Or is my brain cell malfunctioning again?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | April 30, 2007 at 11:12 AM
I didn't have managerial accounting last year. :-)
Posted by: Bumble | April 30, 2007 at 11:17 AM
Psh. You eat Managerial Accounting for breakfast.
{{BUMBLE AND NEO!!!!}}
You'll be fine, both of you. Just remember...a grade is not a reflection of YOU as a student or a person--it is an indication of how well you did one thing you produced at one moment in one class for one teacher with one certain set of expectations. Teachers don't grade you.
*smooch*

Alfred.. am I right in thinking that this camping gear has some... um, strategically cut holes? It's definitely an.. interesting look. If not a little drafty.
Oh, and a word on the accomodations. I visit nature. I don't sleep over. *puts on her pretty princess crown*

Now for the hard part.
Y'all say a little prayer for your Bumble come 4:00 PM, eh? Whether you believe it them or not. I'm gonna need it.

Ignore you? Forget it. You're too good to be forgotten. :-)
In other news, that was, without a doubt, absolutely positively, the hardest test I have ever taken in my life. I've never been this worried about a grade before. The final exam period is two hours. I was working on it for just over three. And I'm still not sure I did okay. Usually I have some inkling, but at the moment I have no clue what to expect when grades are posted. Oh well. Can't be fixed now. Time to move onto other things.
*strips off camping gear in the tent*
*jumps in the lake for some skinny dipping*

Hold the phone... Bumble is skinny dipping and happily haloless?
What is going on in here?
*has no inkling either*
Posted by: KDF | April 30, 2007 at 10:53 PM
I see that Bumble's halo doubles as a float ring! Excellent!
I also see there is some tenting going on. That is almost always a good thing.
(Bumble, don't worry about the grade. I'll bet you didn't do badly. But whatever the outcome, at least it is over!!)
Posted by: neophyte | April 30, 2007 at 11:02 PM
Yes, I'm glad it's over. I'll be even happier when my last final is over Wednesday. I hope.
I've been quite depressed tonight. I think it's a combination of loneliness, school stress, work stress, home stress and poor eating habits over the last week.
But I had a good cry and some chicken soup, and I'm just going to have to walk through everything one step at a time and try to deal, I guess.
But knowing that doesn't change how sucky I feel right now.
*sigh*

Blue~ Only for tonight. Tomorrow I have to study for my last final all day, and Wednesday I have to work for a few hours, then go and take said final.
And at some point, I need to clean Flop's tank and mow the yard.
My life isn't all sunshine, daisies, chocolates and Dave books, you know. :-)
Posted by: Bumble | May 01, 2007 at 12:14 AM
A few days ago I got tired of the effects of a medicine; it was causing more problems than it was curing. One of the problems is that it has stolen my comprehension, my ability to think and to remember. So I can't study. I'm in a fog all the time... when I'm not knocked completely out. It makes me sleep 14 or more hours a day.
So I stopped the medicine, cold turkey. Not a good idea. Really. Nausea, shakes, sweats, chills, killer headache... feels like the flu. With mood swings. Wild mood swings. Think PMS cubed. And agitated. Then the itching started. I'd like to remove my skin please; it feels like bugs walking on me. And now the print in my textbook is crawling too.
Yes, in retrospect, stopping the medicine was probably not too smart. Yes, I did discuss it with my doctor today and no, it's not dangerous. Just unpleasant.
All I want is to finish my homework and get this semester over with. But I can't focus enough to do the homework; nothing makes sense. At this point, I'm not even hoping for As anymore. :( I think I'm going to ask for an incomplete in one or maybe both classes because I simply can't manage it right now. This sucks.
Posted by: neophyte | May 01, 2007 at 02:52 AM
Oh, in case you hadn't figured it out? This is one of those mood swings. Sorry to inflict it upon you all too.

So there. Hope you have a nice day.

Ever tried to korrect German papers? Keep in mind, they are in another language.
I my self am very tempted on the offer. But I will be taking my money to visit friends in Hawaii and Denver.
I understand the need for a change of pace. I myself kind of need one too. But first, I need to find a pace I like. So then I can be homesick while gone.
Posted by: Alfred | May 02, 2007 at 12:04 AM
I discovered one of the reasons why Bedays are not used in the north as much. Cold Water.
Friend of mine has one, so I decided to hook it up. It works fine now. I am impressed by its engineering even. Man its cold water.
That is all.
