THAT DIALOGUE INTERRUPTION PUNCTUATION ARTICLE IS THE MOST USEFUL ARTICLE EVER, ISN’T IT?

SHUT UP OF COURSE IT IS.

so, fun fact: when i was in college i was in this creative writing workshop and the professor and i didn’t exactly see eye to eye on just about anything.  once i spoke up against him when he was ripping another student a new one about using a dash versus an ellipsis to signify interruption in a dialogue and he tried to fail me afterwards. 

good times all around.

trying so hard to find a way to subtly take a picture of this lady’s lime green cargo pants and purple stilettos

failing on all fronts

  [8:58 AM]:

it’s really frustrating when your back needs to crack so you stretch and it’s awesome except for the fact that your back doesn’t crack AT ALL but instead it’s like shoulder pops half out of joint elbows crack knuckles crack wrist pops half out of joint more knuckles crack BACK DOES NOTHING

asldfkjslkdfj i need a nap

and a new body

[8:59 AM]:

Yeah, you need something

[8:59 AM]:

i resent your thinly veiled insult

[7:54 AM]:

Anyway, again, how’d your interview go yesterday?

[7:55 AM]:

awkward!

i already said that i thought

interviews are super awkward

and then it got SO MUCH MORE awkward because like a good chunk of it went liek this:

she asked what some of my non-academic hobbies were, and i said that i loved to read, but that it was harder to just enjoy books— or tv or movies— the way i did before i went to college because now i look at everything with a super critical eye

and she was like “oh, that’s interesting, can you explain that?”

and i was like “in what context?”

“a tv show, maybe? give me an example of what you end up thinking when you’re watching an episode of some show”

and then i couldn’t help myself and i was like “GIRL LEMME TELL YOU ABOUT THIS SHOW GLEE AND HOW MONUMENTALLY PSYCHOTICALLY TERRIBLE  IT HAS BECOME”

and then we bonded over horrendous television writing and she asked me like fifty questions about why it was sexist and horrible

and then it got SO MUCH MORE AKWARD because we spent a solid ten minutes of an admissions interview talkign about glee and were both embarrassed

[7:59 AM]:

that does not make much sense to me…

[7:59 AM]:

eh?

[8:00 AM]:

these interviews

[8:00 AM]:

how so?

i mean, okay, they don’t normally involve me dismantling an entire television juggernaut in four minutes or less

but

it happened?

sometimes i talk to people at work on IM about wicked when i can’t stay awake and i really really really shouldn’t be allowed to.
